After loading the route, you can start the route, use in-app navigation to navigate to route stops, collect proof of visit, delivery, or service, etc. When the app detects that you have poor or no internet connection, it will show a red warning sign in the top left corner of the screen. Accordingly, when you lose the internet connection, you can keep navigating and completing the route.
