Pilgrim Paths Navigo vs Via Francigena

The Pilgrim Paths Navigo app allows you to use your smartphone so you can set aside your worries about getting lost on the great pilgrimage trails of Europe and the U.S. Just open the app while you have a cell or WiFi signal, choose your route, and the map and route automatically download to your smartphone. Once you’re on the trail, no cell signal is required since the app needs only the GPS signal from your phone. Click on the location icon to find your position and keep your location on the route line. The app senses your location and you follow the route. That’s all there is to it! Navigo focuses on pilgrimage trails that are served by the trusted and respected guidebooks of Pilgrim Paths founder, Sanford “Sandy” Brown, whose guidebooks cover pilgrim trails in Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, and the U.S.

Discover the Via Francigena and enjoy the journey in a simple and well-organized way. The app guides you along the entire route, helping you plan each stage and find your way even when you’re offline. View the stages, explore points of interest, find useful services along the way, and access up-to-date information. Thanks to the offline mode, you’ll always have maps at your disposal, even while you’re on the trail.
