--- In-depth Reference Information ---
TrailSmart's ‘Trekopedia’ is packed with extensive reference information on each trail. Everything can be searched and filtered, viewed on a map, notes can be added (anything from a simple reservation number to a copy-and-pasted blurb from a website), and more.

--- Interactive Offline Maps ---
Powerful, flexible maps that display your current location on your route along with pins showing all the locations included in the Trekopedia (just touch a pin to open its related Trekopedia entry). Filter and do searches. Detailed, high-quality offline maps are also available via in-app purchase, so you have full access to maps even without an Internet connection. When you do have an Internet connection, great online maps are also available.

--- Intelligent Compass ---
Just follow the yellow arrow! TrailSmart's intelligent compass points you in the right direction based on your current location and your selected route, and updates dynamically as you move. It takes into consideration all the twists and turns in your route and can even point you back in the right direction when off-route exploring towns. Never get lost again!

--- Pre-Departure Planning & Preparation ---
TrailSmart makes it easy to plan your route (including configuring the sections you want to follow), organize it into stages, and review distances and elevations (including a handy interactive Elevation Profile Chart). Comes pre-defined with popular routes (full and partial) plus you can create your own or edit ours. Review and rank hotels / guesthouses, flag locations of interest, add your own notes, and more.

--- Up-To-Date Content ---
TrailSmart's content is regularly updated and expanded based on the latest information available to us. You can check for content updates (including entirely new trail datasets) directly inside TrailSmart and download content whenever it is convenient for you (even on the trail), without having to connect to the App Store. Always be up-to-date!

--- No Internet Connection Required ---
All of TrailSmart's content is stored directly on your phone, including our detailed offline maps (once initially downloaded). No Internet connection is required!

Indispensable app for Camino Primitivo

I have used the app constantly while walking the Camino Primitivo in May 2022. It has all the info you will need, starting from viewing the “Elevation Profile” for your next daily stages (that you can screenshot and save in photos or file for quick access) to the “Waypoints and Highlights” identifying landmarks (such as medieval ruins etc) and highlighting not-to miss needed stops for snacks/refreshments or water fountains, well tagged with miles-to-go so you can pace yourself and recharge, all the necessary data to make you better prepared for your Camino. My preferred tool is the Compass that will guide you to follow the yellow star and keep you on track without fail. The albergues listing and live links including their specific offerings (cost per night in dormitories or single rooms) come in very handy when you decide to call it a day and find your refuge for the night. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the attention and quick support provided by the developer Eugene. Thanks for your detailed research and well designed app.

Best Camino Francés app

Hands down the best app out there if you’re new to the Camino. You don’t need the maps, this app lets you know every turn and albergue. I just did my first Camino and i have to say, i used this app every day and just threw away the book i had. The albergue list is perhaps the best feature. If you’re new to the Camino and are worried about how it will be, trust in yourself that you’ll be fine and use this app, everyone I met on the Camino switched to it once I showed them, and it’s free. You’ll see when you get out there what I mean

Developer Response ,

Thank you for that great review! Made my day. :-) I'm happy to hear that the app helped you on your Camino. If you have any suggestions on how we can keep improving TrailSmart, please send an email. And we're always looking for recommendations on Camino routes or other long-distance trails you think we should cover.

Camino Francés

I found TrailSmart invaluable while walking the Camino Francés, especially the interactive map. I introduced it to a British couple met along the Way who later said “you saved our life by telling us about TrailSmart”. That’s a bit overkill, but it helped them when they got off the beaten path. I especially like the offline capability of the interactive map as being from the States data can be expensive overseas. It is loaded with information. I’d give it 5 stars except that I found the user interface a bit cumbersome, but once you become familiar with the app and its capabilities, it is extremely useful. For trails supported, there is no need for a handheld Garmin or the likes. I hope they continue to add more trails.
