Offline Use

OMN is designed to work fully offline once you've downloaded your maps. This is essential for outdoor use where mobile signal is often unreliable or non-existent.

Preparing for Offline Use

Before heading out:

1. Download your maps: Use the My Maps screen to download the areas you'll be visiting
2. Sync your routes: Open the GPX Manager and press Sync to ensure all your planned routes are on your device
3. Test offline: Enable Airplane Mode and verify everything works

What Works Offline

Once set up, you can use these features without an internet connection:

• View downloaded maps
• Follow your planned routes
• Record GPS tracklogs
• Add waypoints
• Use the Find feature (with offline place name data)
• View statistics and route profiles

What Requires Internet

Some features require an internet connection:

• Map streaming (viewing maps you haven't downloaded)
• Syncing routes and tracklogs to the cloud
• Purchasing new maps or subscriptions
• Some search features

Tips for Reliable Offline Use

1. Download generously: Include areas around your planned route in case you need to detour
2. Update before you go: Sync your routes and update your maps while you have WiFi
3. Check storage: Ensure your device has enough space for your downloaded maps
4. Test at home: Always verify your offline setup before heading out
