Live tracking without internet connection is IMHO possible only as police-like phone tracking via cell tower location and tower signal strength . In rare tower region as rural Mongolia it may be very inaccurate. I am not sure about legal any technical availability of the solution.Also, I am

.internet caffes? Not so many, honestly, few of them. More likely 'hotels' where we will sleep. I was just interested if the Osmand app could give me the option of live tracking for my family while I'm away so I could have 3 in one device: phone, GPS and live tracking. I would have to carry less

Sorry guys, maybe it's a stupid question but for me it's still not clear if our families can follow us on live tracking (real time) if we haven't got the internet connection but just using the GPS? Something like the SPOT Thx sg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the G
