Is it possible to transfer a route/gpx-file from my smartphone to the Karoo (aka Karoo 3) WITHOUT a internet connection?

The dashboard synchronization works pretty well, BUT if I am somewhere in the mountains without mobile network available, I see no way to transfer a route to the Karoo

  Hi Michael, yes you can via Bluetooth on Phone and Karoo. Its described on the article here: https://support.hammerhead.io/hc/en-us/articles/25476943333275-Companion-App-Uploads-and-Syncing

  You need companion app on your phone to work with this.

  Hi Ali

  Thank you for the fast response, didn't knew that feature, just tried it: the transfer per android companion app works nicely, BUT only when there is a internet connection.

  If the phone is connected via bluetooth to the Karoo an the phone has internet access
  ==> OK

  If the phone is connected via bluetooth to the Karoo an the phone has NO internet access
  ==> ERROR: "Transfer failed please check your phone's internet connection"
