You’ve planned your trip, your bike is all set, and there’s just one thing left: knowing exactly where you’re going and what you’ll encounter along the way. That\u2019s why we created the bicigrino Camino de Santiago by Bike app. You\u2019ll use it in two situations\u2014at home, in front of your computer, to plan your trip; and on the Camino, with your phone mounted on the handlebars, to follow the route\u2014and in this guide, we\u2019ll show you how to get the most out of both. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The bicigrino app is a GPS planner and navigator designed from the ground up for cycling<\/em> the Camino de Santiago. It\u2019s not a tool for hikers that\u2019s been shoehorned into the role: it identifies the type of surface on each section, shows you repair shops along the route, alerts you to elevation changes before you encounter them, and\u2014most importantly\u2014keeps working even where there\u2019s no cell service. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a single app that adapts to your screen. On your computer, you have plenty of space to plan at your own pace; on your phone, you have the route version\u2014lightweight and ready to navigate with one hand. And since it\u2019s a web app, you don\u2019t need to install anything to get started: just go to planificador.bicigrino.mobi<\/a>, and you\u2019re all set. <\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at the entire journey, from the living room to the handlebars.<\/p>\n

Part One: At Home, on the Computer<\/h2>\n

The best time to plan is before you head out, when you have plenty of time and a cup of coffee by your side. On the computer, you can view the map in full size, compare different routes, and adjust your stops without feeling rushed. That’s the way to do it. <\/p>\n

\"Welcome
As soon as you open the app, it welcomes you with a quick guide to help you set up your plan in just a few minutes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
