good morning @Con-Hennekens
I told you I would report my findings following tests.
it would appear I was mistaken, although the anomaly I reported had happened a number of times, perhaps it was bug within my tablet.
my tablet had no internet connection, wifi or otherwise during these tests. this is to imagine I was in the middle of nowhere with no connection.
tests as follows;
airplane mode and offline nav enabled>power off>power on>choose favourite destination>could not navigate route>10 seconds later>navigation possible.
and the ability to search for an address and navigate to that address i.e. A-B route.
also possible to load and navigate a downloaded route including the ability to continue from a different waypoint other than the start point.
airplane mode>offline navigation disabled>power off>power on> choose different favourite>short delay>navigation possible.
point to note, offline navigation had enabled automatically.
@Con you are probably aware of the above, but maybe this will help others understand the offline nav and no internet problem.
this is why I always use offline navigation and my tablet in airplane mode, this also helps battery life.
TBF I don't need traffic reports when on my motorbike, it would be different if I was in my campervan of course.
