The app is functional even without an internet connection. The connection to the internet (WiFi or 3G/4G) is
only required for the initial download of the tracks (roadbooks) and is not necessary to navigate the
roadbook.
You will be able to download the track (roadbook) to the RBR Roadbook Reader app for
offline use confirmed by a green YES, as illustrated in the screenshot below.
*GPX trails in offline mode are missing the background map if you haven't previously opened and zoomed in
to cache it locally. (We are working on fully automatic offline map support.)
Caching online maps for GPX tracks:
The app automatically saves recently viewed map images in your cache, making them accessible for offline
use. To ensure maps are available offline, follow these steps:
-
Open a track (so the map screen loads) and move the map to the specific area you plan to ride in the RBR
app.
- While connected to the internet, zoom in to the desired level of detail. By doing this, the RBR app will
save the map images at the zoom levels visible on the screen, allowing you to access them offline.
, the app will make ongoing efforts to synchronize competitor GPS data with
the servers (and
recalculate leaderboard results & penalties). In instances where an internet connection is unavailable, the
app will
gather data and hold it until a connection is re-established for synchronization.
