Read full descriptionHide full description
CaminoMate is the companion that walks with you to Santiago: beautiful, fast, and built to work even with no signal. 15 ROUTES Camino Francés (full and from Sarria), Portuguese Central and Coastal, Norte, Primitivo, Inglés, Vía de la Plata, Fisterra-Muxía, Invierno, Aragonés, Baztanés, Lebaniego, Olvidado and the Via Adresca (Le Grand-Lemps – Le Puy-en-Velay), waymarked by Compostelle en Rhône-Alpes. All with their real map and elevation profile. A GPS THAT THINKS LIKE A PILGRIM Your live position on the real trail, the km left to Santiago, your arrival time at your own pace, automatic detection of the stage you're walking, and a spoken alert if you leave the Camino. EVERY STAGE, TOWN BY TOWN Elevation and what each village has: bar, shop, pharmacy, fountain and where to sleep. ALBERGUES, WITH EVERYTHING Over 3,000 geolocated places to stay with beds, price, opening season and services (washing machine, kitchen, wifi, breakfast…), including the Xunta's public albergues. Reviews from other pilgrims, and a heads-up when someone marks an albergue as full today. ULTREIA, THE CAMINO COMMUNITY Share photos and moments, see how many pilgrims are on your stage today and, if you'd like company, say hi: when you both say hi, a chat opens. PILGRIM ALERTS Dry fountain? Detour for roadworks? Loose dog? Pin it on the map and other pilgrims see it right away. No account, no sign-up. AND ALSO • Water fountains on every stage, sorted by km • Weather for your stage • Bed planner with your estimated arrival time • Apple Watch: live heart rate while you walk, and your walks in Health • SOS with useful phrases in 6 languages • In English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese CAMINO PASS Routes, stages, map, albergues, walking mode, alerts and Ultreia are free.
