Big update for the start of Summer.
As more and more albergues are adopting rest days of their own, I have improved the notice that appears.  It will now warn you if the albergue is closed today or tomorrow.

Last Winter update.
Minor changes to content, only a few albergues have changed critical information.
Minor bug fixes: outgoing url links have been fixed, and the "WhatsApp Helper" works again!

The first major update of the year, this version includes updated pricing and opening seasons.

Under the hood are several performance changes, with a thorough rewrite of the code to make sure that all devices are working properly.

AND it introduces a new feature which allows pilgrims to inform 'El Sabio, the Wise Pilgrim Bot' about the status of albergues, so you can help your fellow pilgrims to know what albergues are full.

Big update in anticipation of the upcoming year.
Commenting fixed, thank you everyone for submitting bug reports, it was invaluable to getting this fixed.

Content updates and bug fixes.

In this update, the last major one of the season, I have improved the way to navigate between adjacent towns along the way.

I have also fixed some map-related bugs, thanks to all of you who have written to help me diagnose them.

MAJOR BUG FIX

Minor bug fixes, including a few albergues which did not appear on the map view.

This update does two things at the same time.
It introduces the ability to send updates 'Over the air' meaning that if there is a change in telephone number, or price, or opening hours of your accommodation I can get them to you faster.  The is important at the moment since the hiking season is beginning and many albergues are making last minute changes.
New routes will still be delivered via app store updates.
-and-
It eliminates a minor bug that annoyed me greatly.

Everything else remains as awesome as always.

New feature shows whether an albergue is CURRENTLY open, closed, or about to open/close. Handy for pilgrims walking in the shoulder season and winter.

Updated content.
Bug fixes here and there.
New elevation profiles!

This release introduces a dark mode for lights out albergue users.  And it greatly cleans up the UX to make more content more visible.
There are a few new photos from a recent camino, and minor changes to prices and availability.

Thank you everyone for all of the comments you leave within the app!

Content Update:  Updated opened/closed, as well as prices.

Better maps: Now with the option to turn off map markers and a better selector for map types.

Feature Update: Introducing the WhatsApp Message Maker:  A simple tool to help you initiate a conversation with the albergue or hotel owner to check for availability and request a reservation.  It automatically translates what you need into a short request, and from their you can finish the deal directly with the property owner.

Many changes to the content, updated pricing etc.

Introducing better communication tools: It is now much easier to initiate calls to accommodation via landline, mobile, WhatsApp, and email.

Accommodations linked to maps app, for turn by turn directions if necessary.

Bug fix: A bug crept into the last version, causing the app to crash when you tried to search the albergue directory or leave a comment. That bug is no more!
Bigger bug fix: The distance calculator is back!

Updated content for the 2022 pilgrims. These include many uncertain closures and reopening and new prices as well as updated contact information.

1. notched devices.
2. a bug in the elevation profiles, which are now capable of estimating your location.
3. reading and writing comments to the new wisepilgrim.com website.

2021 SPRING UPDATE

I have undone some of the changes made during last Spring's pandemic update. Rather than maintain an evershifting list of openings and closings, I have included all accommodation that have not been confirmed as permanently closed. There are some new albergues, and several more have changed ownership.

Some minor stuff too:
Better visibility of private accommodation prices.
Updated content.

Hot on the heels of the big Spring 2020 update, comes this minor bug fix.
This update fixes a small mapping bug which caused the map to fail along some stretches of the Camino.

Big code update, and some significant changes to how the maps are accessed.  The map icon in the upper-right now opens the map to that location, and the compass in the upper-right zooms to your location.
The app is finally rotatable, which has been requested by a few pilgrims along the way.

What's New in This Version Describe what's new in this version of your app, such as new features, improvements, and bug fixes.
Much ado about maps!
1. Two more types: Apple Maps and Apple Satellite view.
2. Better map markers: Not quite perfect, but getting closer. They load a bit faster now and use less memory.
3. Improved offline map downloader, now with the ability to delete offline maps to get back space.
Plus a smattering of little adjustments here and there.
