From planning your first stage to arriving in Santiago, Camino Amigo walks with you. The Camino Francés, the Portuguese Way, the Camino del Norte… every Camino follows a different path. Camino Amigo brings 6 major routes and their key variants into one place, with offline maps, GPS progress, pilgrim services, and a personal record of your journey. ■ GPS tracking & off-route alerts See your location, today’s distance, walked path, and the distance to your next town. Recognized alternative paths are included, and you can choose Strict, Balanced, or Relaxed off-route sensitivity. With background location permission, you can keep recording with the screen off and receive alerts if you stray from the route. ■ Offline maps Download the map around your current location before you leave and continue using GPS with no signal. Camino Forever also lets you download an entire selected route at once. ■ Personalized trip & stage planning Set your departure date, follow the departure countdown, and receive a reminder before you leave. Choose a daily distance goal and walking speed to see recommended overnight stops and estimated walking times, then plan towns, rest days, and albergues for each stage. ■ Albergues & pilgrim services Browse more than 1,500 albergues, including donativo stays, plus other lodging, pharmacies, ATMs, restaurants, supermarkets, hospitals, and more. Check locations, prices, bed counts, facilities, and contact details where available. ■ Family Safety Links Share city-level progress with family through a private link. It can show your last known city, next city, route, total distance, and last active time—never your exact coordinates. Create or revoke a link whenever you choose. ■ Digital pilgrim passport, stamps & stickers Collect commemorative city stamps and landmark stickers as you walk. Your stamps and walking record build a personal passport for each journey. ■ Pilgrimage journal & share cards Capture each day with photos and notes saved to a map location. Organize memories by date and place, and create customizable daily route cards with photos, maps, distance, and notes. ■ Journey completion record When an eligible journey reaches Santiago, create an unofficial commemorative digital Camino certificate with your route, distance, dates, and stamps. Full-resolution PDF export requires Camino Forever or a Completion Record Pack. This does not replace the official Compostela issued by the Pilgrim’s Office. ■ Essential Spanish phrases Keep useful phrases for albergues, restaurants, transport, shopping, emergencies, and everyday pilgrim conversations close at hand. ■ More tools for the Way Explore section elevation profiles, walking statistics and achievements, calculate your pack weight, connect to luggage transport services, and browse a detailed Camino FAQ. ■ Available in 9 languages Korean · English · Spanish · French · Italian · Portuguese · German · Dutch · Japanese ■ 6 major routes French Way · Portuguese Way · Northern Way · English Way · Primitive Way · Vía de la Plata Every pilgrim walks their own Camino, but no one has to feel alone.
