GPS works without cell service. Here is how to map confidently off-grid and sync the moment you reconnect.
A common myth: no bars means no GPS. In reality your device reads satellites directly — cell signal only matters for downloading maps and syncing.
Download tiles ahead of time
Before you head out, cache the map area you will work. Satellite, terrain and topo layers all store offline.
Capture freely offline
Every measurement, boundary and note is saved locally and queued for sync.
Sync on reconnect
The moment you regain signal, edits merge automatically — no manual import. FieldTeam even reconciles edits from multiple offline devices conflict-free.
