Do Tracklogs require a Data connection to follow them?

[Lynchy67]

I am planning to ride the TET UK Segment 19 as a Tracklog with MyRoute-app.
Do Tracklogs require a data connection or is it just "Follow the line"?

@Lynchy67 As far as I know, all navigation (track or route, turn-by-turn or follow the line) can happen without a data connection when you have both the route or track as well as the necessary offline maps downloaded beforehand.

Thanks for the clarification.

I believe this is not entirely true. To be able to start (turn by turn) navigation of a track, you need an active internet connection. I think after having it started you can disable the internet connection, but as soon as you deviate and a recalculation is being made, you probably need an active internet connection again. For follow the line navigation an active internet connection is not needed.

These are Tracklogs which I believe do not offer "Turn by Turn".
As far as I know it is just "Follow the Line".

Happy to be corrected however?

@Lynchy67, Yes, it does not make a lot of sense to navigate TET tracks turn by turn indeed. But my reply above is about tracks in general.
