Using Nomu without signal

Last updated on

What Nomu can do without a connection, and what still needs one.

Nomu is built to stay useful offline after you have used it online: what you have already opened is kept on your device, so a plane, a tunnel or a foreign SIM does not empty the app.

What usually works

  • Opening the app and reading trips and places you have already loaded.
  • Anything already on the device from your last online session.

What still needs a connection

  • Map tiles you have not looked at yet.
  • Searching for new places, which asks the server.
  • A fresh install with no online session yet—there is nothing stored to read.

If the app looks empty offline

Get back online for a moment and open your trips list once, so the app has something current to keep. Then try again without signal.
