@cvlmtg said in New update! (4.3.6) - offroad waypoints:

just curious: why do you need to be online to navigate a track? what's the "optimal" experience?

@Corjan-Meijerink already explained. I'd just like to add that the availability of an internet connection is mostly important at the start of your route-as-track, especially if recalculation is disabled. The track that matches your route gets fetched from the online platform. If that is not possible, the app imitates a track based on your route, but that is less precise, and you can see the track cutting edges sometimes.

I assume that when once the track is fetched online, losing internet connection is no big deal. So most often, hopefully hotel wifi will be good enough at the start of the route. If I am completely mistaken, hopefully @Corjan-Meijerink will correct me πŸ˜‰
