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.

Lots of new content; and lots of changed content. The camino has changed quite a bit in the last 12 months and this update captures much of those changes.
Some style changes.
Lots of behind the scenes stuff that would bore you as much as it bores me.

I hope these release notes find all of you safe at home and healthy with your family, no doubt looking forward to brighter days on the camino.
This update hopes to make those days a bit easier to navigate. Here in Santiago we are all home bound so I have made the best of the situation by coding some long desired changes to the apps.
Design Changes, Functionality Additions, and a bit of bed bug fumigation:
• A completely redesigned 'region' view. This was to accommodate a new feature which allows you to set a place as your starting point, and because of that all of the distances had to be reconsidered for the best readability. It should be rather intuitive, and it is better described in the legend page. These changes also allow for the page to be a lot more readable, and of course planning your day just got a lot easier.
• Better accommodation sorting. Accommodation in a city is now better sorted, with albergues grouped by type at the top and with private accommodation options grouped by type below. No more funny business where albergues were scattered randomly throughout the list.
• Better comment sorting. In the past comments didn’t always sort by date. In the now they do.
• Better visualization for exactly how far away from the camino some of those alternate routes take you.
• A bug which caused to guide to crash if there was a comment which was empty has been fumigated.
• Most users will now see the correct decimal separator for distances, with periods and commas appearing where they ought to.
• Generally better typography. Some missing characters were fixed, sizes were adjusted, that kind of thing.
Stay safe, and I hope to see you all later this year.
4.0.4
2020-03-11
Two bugs squashed:
The menu is not so massive for the newest iPad users.

4.0.3
2020-03-06
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.
4.0.2
2020-02-29
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.
3.0.5
2020-01-22
This is the big 2020 update. The app will continue to get bi-monthly updates during the year but this is the biggest one, and it brings the apps up to date with the 2020 printed guidebook which was just published.
Thanks again for all of the great support!
3.0.3
2012-06-21
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.
