The purpose of Offline Mode on OpenRunner is to allow access to your maps and routes without an internet connection. This feature is essential for preserving battery life and exploring areas with limited network coverage, ensuring reliable navigation.
Activating Offline Mode
You must first download a map. Then, offline mode is automatically activated when you are without network coverage or in areas with a slow connection. There is no specific activation button, which provides responsiveness and ease of use.

The benefits of using Offline Mode
- Reliability: your maps and routes remain accessible while hiking, cycling, or in remote areas, even without a network signal.
- Battery life: reduces the use of mobile data and network connections. To optimise battery life, activate airplane mode, turn off Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, close unused apps, dim the screen brightness, and pause recording during breaks.
- Display speed: downloaded maps appear instantly, without interruptions.
- Safety: downloaded maps ensure your orientation without relying on network access.
In summary, OpenRunner's Offline Mode is a practical solution for staying oriented, safe, and connected to your surroundings, regardless of network availability.
