This map is GREAT!!!

[peregrina2000]

I was lucky to snag one of the IGN camino maps. It arrived here in the US, no customs hassle, just right into my mailbox. It's printed on very heavy paper, very large and lists 43 caminos. 43!!!!!!! Lots of camino dreaming in my future. Unfortunately, I don't think my walking future holds enough years for me to get close to that number.

https://www.santiagodecompostela.me...s/products/camino-de-santiago-map-1-1-250-000

The other real benefit I see is that I can finally understand how the different caminos I have walked relate to each other geographically. Till this lovely map arrived, I was pretty clueless about the bigger picture.

But it seems to be sold out again, hope it will be back in stock. Thanks to Ivar for making it available. Buen camino, Laurie

PS. 12/12/2017 Out of stock now I think @Davie Blisters cleared the shelves...

 

[JohnnieWalker]

I agree. It is an absolutely excellent map. Very useful as Laurie says for seeing the relationships between routes and places.

 

[Sailor]

Thanks for the info on this map, I plan to order one as soon as it becomes available at Tienda de Ivar. Wishing all caminantes a Feliz Navidad, y que la luz de Dios alumbre su camino.

that's like putting a plate of chocolates in front of someone on a diet

@ivar : I hope you'll get this back in stock soon: I need it.

 

[Davie Blisters]

Thanks Laurie & Bradypus
Map ordered from Stanfords - space allocated on Study wall - endless hours of planning anticipated!
Happy Bunny

Coincidentally, I just ordered this poster from the Gronze website. I hasn't arrived yet, so I can't comment on the quality...

What LesBrass said.
I am thinking to pay a visit to the map store in A Coruna this July, to look at this and 1:25,000 scale walking maps. There is something wonderful about a paper map - you can see everything at a glance in any light, without having to scroll or zoom - with no need to recharge batteries, except at the local tapas bar.

[pelerine]

Map sold out at Stanford’s too!

And don’t give up on planning caminos, peregrina! Remember the 93 year old pilgrim on the Francés. I only started at 70 seven years ago and have the next five years covered with caminos in various planning stages!

And thank you for all your useful info and your inspiration generally!

No it isn't, now shows up astemporarily out of stock.
Would someone who has one please publish the ISBN the name of the publisher who holds copyrite?? We might have better luck going to original supplier. Like Laurie says a map that explains ALL the Caminos would be great. Cheers

Totally agree, yes I know that electronic/digital is the way of the future but a paper map lets you see all the side routes etc. Cheers

Mike, if Ivar is out, go to the Spanish National Geographic Institute (IGN) - they produced the maps and hold the copyright. There is a website where you can place orders. I don't know if they ship overseas, but I would be surprised if they didn't. But it may take some time.

[jmcarp]

I got one of the maps from Ivar shortly after it was first mentioned in another thread a few weeks ago. At the time Ivar said it was out of stock, but I received my copy within a week or so later. And I agree with what everyone has said--it's a great map. I only have two comments: 1) It would be nice to have an option for a rolled map for those who may wish to frame it for mounting on a wall, and 2) It would be nice to have the route names printed on the map itself along the respective routes rather than (or in addition to) the numerical key on the map legend. BTW @ivar, I have tried several times to post a review--including those two comments--but every time I hit the "Post" button I get an error message.

 

[OTH86]

My map is on my wall I LOVE it!!! Got it at Librería Follas Novas in Santiago 2 months ago.
Buen CAMINO!

@ivar : Got delivery today. 3 days from Northwest Spain to Arctic Norway: Not bad at all! But I ordered 3 credentials, but received 4... I guess that means I owe you a free coffee for you next time in SdC. Thanks!

BTW: The map is REALLY great and opens for new insight in f.ex. the relationships between different Caminos. Planning alternatives is much easier now!

Edit: The Wise Pilgrim Guide looks very informative. Even if I have done 5 CFs, this guide will be very informative in the sunny afternoons with a good Rioja!

How can I get hold of the map please where do I order it from please.
Thank you.
A very happy holiday to all of you.

Hi Laurie - I got so excited when I saw your post - have been trying to get this map for a couple of years now (after seeing my friend Andree Lombard's one) but when I tried to order it was not able to do so and they tell me my c/card is not acceptable on the pay setup system - this is such a great map and I love maps so will have to try when I am in Santiago next year - I think I may see you on your walk from Almeria - I agree with you, I don't think I have that many years left to do all the caminos - in friendship and buen camino - Marilyn van Graan

 

[marilyn van graan]

Hi Ivar - firstly thank you for such a great site - I am trying to order one of these amazing maps but the pay site says my visa card is not acceptable - would it be possible to purchase it in Santiago when I am there next year - I did ask at the credential office and they sent me off to a shop but still no luck. Many thanks once again for all your info passed on to us and I wish you a blessed and happy Christmas and New Year - Marilyn van Graab

Haha - I absolutely agree with you but can I replace the "carrot" with shoes (spanish of course)

 

[Waka]

Stanfords will have the map back in stock around end of January, Lets hope Ivar has it before then.

 

[Jeff Crawley]

While I agree nothing beats a paper map, if you want something to savour while you wait for one to arrive there's nothing to stop you from downloading the free IGN app and map of Spain then you can zoom in from the whole of Spain up to a scale where you can almost feel the gravel under your boots - amazing artistry.
You can also, of course, overlay your favourite camino . . .

Once you've installed it email yourself a copy of your route and open it with IGN.

In fact, if you zoom in enough, you'll see a version of the CF included in the map and marked with scallop shells.

Enjoy!

The basic IGN map is not there for Apple. But there is a similar map with the Caminos, or at least some of them, already loaded. Use the IGN.en website link in the developers info to get at them as the App Store search didn’t get at them. Not sure about the zooming. It seems to be a PDF of a paper map with the Caminos on top, so there’s only so much that you can do. A lot of foot power and horse sense will be needed to find particular shells, I guess.

 

[Cartski]

ok, so I have added some more in stock... I don't actually have them in stock but will ship as soon as I do have them.

Uhh, how does the ordering work in the website if it’s out of stock? In other words, how can I or anyone get put in the list for backorders? There’s no button or other link gizmo.

My advice would be to jump on this opportunity, Ivar I hope you bought the entire stock! It is a great map and the best place to start your camino dreaming. It covers my entire desk so that all the work I have to do is hidden below and I can focus on the important things.

Hi Marilyn! I am the one who ordered a map for both of us and sent one to you. Later I gave away my map to our local association of the "Amis de St. Jacques" thinking I could get one for myself again easily. Have been waiting ever since and have now ordered a new one for myself. During the "permanences" of our association every month this map is a great source of information for discussions between those who have walked a number of caminos and those who seek help with planning.

This map is great as Laurie said at the origin of this thread!

Well, hola back to you, dear Marilyn! I followed you during your walk with Maggie on the Mozárabe as I was planning my bit of the Mozárabe from Almeria to Granada. Did this with my two daughters at the end of April/beginning of May this year.

Back to the subject of this thread I ordered TWO copies of THE map, one for me to keep and another one to give away. My own map will not leave me again!

[JabbaPapa]

It's OK, but the best IGN Camino map that I know of has been out of print since the 20th Century, sadly. It shows all of the main routes from the eastern part of Central Europe towards Galicia.

Yes, because of its early publication date, today it's rather out of date (the route up from Madrid to Léon is depicted as following the old historic path that has become a busy motorway) ; but it also shows many secondary Camino routes that to this day lack any waymarking nor other support structures at all, but are still rather important not just historically, but sometimes practically.

The major flaw of the map, apart from its occasional out-of-datedness, is that its depiction of the Via Romea/Francigena routes is very defective, even though the geography depicted is where all of its major routes are located.

 

[Mettetäti]

I got 100... I see there are about 45 left now... so by the looks of it they will be gone by tomorrow... I will try my best to get more in after that...

I have that map. Im surprised how often I get it out and show people - who are always really impressed.

 

[peregrina2000]

As we head into hibernation season here in the northern hemisphere, and as much of the southern hemisphere continues in lockdown, I know there’s a lot of camino dreaming going on.

IMO, an essential tool for all that dreaming is this IGN map. It looks like they are in stock, so if you don’t have one, seize the opportunity. You will not regret it.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Will do, Laurie. Soon I will be able to take a look on the map to acclimate myself when forum gurus, such as yourself, mention the unusual routes they walk.
Hopefully ordering one will be as simple as making a donation to the forum.

 

[peregrina2000]

I just pulled out my trusty IGN (Instituto de Geografía Nacional, I think) map to answer a question about crossing over from the Camino de Madrid to the Levante, and it occurred to me to check to see if Ivar is still selling it, because it is one of my best camino purchases EVER!

And wow, the map is on sale! Especially for new members who may not have seen this map, or who never knew that there are at least 48 caminos on the Iberian peninsula, you should take a look. It is an absolute must-have for camino dreamers. You can get it at the store here.

I just pulled out my trusty IGN (Instituto de Geografía Nacional, I think) map to answer a question about crossing over from the Camino de Madrid to the Levante, and it occurred to me to check to see if Ivar is still selling it, because it is one of my best camino purchases EVER!

Hey, Peregrina2000, I am curious to know how many routes you have notched in your belt since you first posted your love of this map in 2017--you had mentioned you didn't think you had enough years to do so many. My thinking, too! I had thought a small group could divvy up the routes and then total the completed routes together!

I read this and somehow the idea of Camino relay teams popped into my head. The person who walks the final stage has the fun of selling the concept to the pilgrim office....

That's one thought of doing it, especially useful if folks have only a short time to be there!

The late 1980s French IGN map is still the best one of the historic Western European routes, though the Spanish map discussed in this thread is most decent for the major and secondary waymarked official ones currently in use by typical pilgrims.

I find it to be quite scandalous that the French one has been so very long out of print.

Though just a reprint of it wouldn't be enough, as it would need a huge revision to at the very least incorporate all of the Via Romea routes, which it's quite bad with.

Ever trace out your camino routes with a red highlighter? Some Appalachian Mountain Club members mark their successfully completed trails that way. The most zealous are called redliners.

The lead from an article*:

Redlining the White Mountains

“Redlining” in this context means to hike all of the trails described in the AMC’s White Mountain Guidebook. That’s 1440.4 miles based on the book’s 29th Edition, but since the most basic out-and-back trail requires two trips — out and back — it adds up to a whole lot of hiking and exploring when it’s all said and done.

Redlining is a novel, rewarding pursuit that takes its participants all over the region’s White Mountain National Forest and more, and exposes them to some real hidden gems.

* Probably of interest only to those who hike the Whites.

Five years ago a shared a trail with a redliner. But only for an hour. Steep means nothing to them.
