I just received email (below) from someone looking for "gps track" to
Santiago (ESP) from St Jean Pied de Porte (FR)
I will reply off list but haven't got anything useful to suggest. Can
anyone help?

may be you can help me :
I've waist a lot of time searching for gps track for my garmin etrex vista c for cammino de santiago
for pedons pilgrims, I've found only a gps track for bikers , that start from St Jean from main street
to Roncesvalles, the same street of cars; many files in the net can't be opened by my garmin ,
some .gpx where opened some others not , I 've seen a jungle in different files, could you help me ?

I think he found me via my page "With GPS to Santiago de Compostela"

But we are still walking (eta 2009)

Hi together

I am myself a fanatic of GPS. Also I am working as professional with
GPS. I have done some parts of the Camino: In France Le Puy en Velay
to Longeac (about 250 km), In France/Spain from Saint Jean le pied en
port to Burgos (about 300km).
I would recommend you not to use a GPS. The reason not to use GPS
could be:
- The path is well flagged
- You can use (and believe in) your intuition
- It is a good feeling to walk and to find yourself the right way
- Without an electronic device like GPS you find easier contact to
other human on the way
- take your time .....

Buon Camino
