There are two types: Family at home: the people who love you follow your progress day by day from back home in the free All Caminos app. You just walk. Camino family: pilgrims you befriend share and everyone sees each other on the map, so you find your friends at the next albergue. Leave a photo on the trail and it opens for them when they reach the spot, a digital breadcrumb of sorts. Circles are private and strict: invitations are by single use codes, and you need to verify each join. All positions and photos are encrypted on your phone, Wise Pilgrim can't see them. Only your latest spot is kept, never a trail. Sharing ends on its own when you set a timer, or you can pause and resume with one tap.
