How to ride and read the roadbook

Poor or no internet connection?
Updated
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.
During the ride, 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.
If you do not see your results or replay, please make sure you have synced the data with the servers.

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:
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.
During the ride, 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.
If you do not see your results or replay, please make sure you have synced the data with the servers.
- Open the RBR app and navigate to the home screen
- Ensure that the ride data is sent (there is no red text saying "Sending ride data...")
