Wise Pilgrim Finisterre — version history

Today's walk is now a tap away on the Yellow X page: how far you've come, how far to tonight's stop, and the Yellow X follows your itinerary. New on the Dashboard: the Pilgrim Roads wall map, and luggage storage and shipping in Santiago. The pronunciation guide now tells you when new places are ready. Preparation for new features for winter pilgrims. And fresh data on every route. Buen Camino!

This update is about seeing your plan on the map. The bed you have chosen now shows where it belongs. Your booked accommodation appears on the map with a colored dot: green when it is confirmed, amber when you have asked, red when you have picked it but not booked yet. Favorites you have saved sit alongside it in gray. Once you have chosen where to sleep in a town, the other options there fade back, and so does every town you are not stopping in. What stands out is your own walk. Every accommodation now tells you where it actually is: how far from the Camino, which side of the trail it sits on and in which direction, and how far from the center of town, before or after it as you walk. Also fixed: importing an itinerary from the website no longer clears the accommodation you had chosen on your other routes. Buen Camino.

You can now share your Camino with other pilgrims — send your itinerary and notes by QR code or file, and import theirs just as easily. You can also back up your plan and notes to a file, so they're safe if you change phones. Thanks for walking with Wise Pilgrim. Buen Camino!

A big update this time around. New on the map: a 6th style — 3D — to help you get your bearings in the bigger cities. And every map style now responds to a two-finger tilt, so you can lean the map back and look off into the distance to see what's ahead. If you plan with the itinerary, there's a lot here for you: - Dates are now supported, including multi-night stays in the same town. - The stage banners at the start and end of each day tell you far more now. - Notes you add in the online planner come along for the ride — they import straight into the app. - City pages now show what you've booked, whether it's confirmed, and how you booked it. - The map can walk you through your itinerary one stage at a time. And the route page handles those long lists better — it trims itself at your starting point, with an easy tap to bring the earlier places back whenever you want them.

New — weather forecasts for every town and your itinerary stages. A new Wildfire Map. Tap the Layers button and switch on Wildfires to see active fires across Spain and Portugal — updated daily from the EU's Copernicus fire service — plus this season's burnt areas along your route. I've also refreshed the route tracks with cleaner elevation profiles and a few corrections, updated a number of albergues with the latest information I have, and fixed a few bugs along the way. Buen Camino.

Some of you opened the offline map and found... an empty world. The markers had wandered off on certain devices. I rounded them up, gave them a stern talking-to, and pinned them back where they belong. Your offline map is properly populated again. Plus a fix for pilgrims counting in miles — distances now read right across all screens.
