Map scales range, designed to maximize space efficiently per page. These maps are a combination of GIS contour data, GPS recordings of the path itself, and added detail as relevant. The stage maps provided in our guidebook should be more than enough to provide accurate navigation, amenities, and points of interest. Most camino hikers do not carry detailed maps, as the route is very well marked. The increased distance most people record while walking is due to the culmination of slight detours into cafes or points of interest, geolocation noise while not moving, and the varied accuracy of individual GPS units which decreases in areas without an unobstructed view of the sky (like tall city buildings). Please note that the distances you record while walking with your GPS app may be longer than the actual distance of the route listed in the guidebook and its GPX tracks, which have been carefully edited to measure the length of the camino along a straight line beginning and ending at the town’s primary albergue.
