   This is a simple technical question, which only needs technical answers.   
      
   I have been working deeply on Adobe Illustrator and five other projects, so   
   I haven't fully tested yet how Google Maps knows where we are and how   
   Google Maps routes without either cellular or GPS being available.   
      
   One thing I tested quickly though is the following, which needs to be   
   confirmed on the road, since I was at home at the time of testing this   
   where each test is started after rebooting the iPad.   
      
   1. Location could not be determined   
      Routing appears to not work (reporting "offline - touch to retry")   
      Route Preview appears to work just fine   
      a. Wi-Fi = off   
      b. Bluetooth = off   
      c. Airplane mode = on   
      d. GPS does not exist   
      e. Cellular does not exist   
      f. Settings > Google Maps > Location > While Using the App = checked   
      g. Settings > Google Maps > Notifications > Allow Notification = on   
      h. Settings > Google Maps > Background App Refresh = on   
      i. Google offline maps already previously downloaded using "OK MAPS"   
      
   2. Location could not be determined   
      Routing appears to not work (reporting "offline - touch to retry")   
      Route Preview appears to work just fine   
      a. Wi-Fi = off   
      b. Bluetooth = off   
      c. Airplane mode = off  <=== this is the only change from above   
      d. GPS does not exist   
      e. Cellular does not exist   
      f. Settings > Google Maps > Location > While Using the App = checked   
      g. Settings > Google Maps > Notifications > Allow Notification = on   
      h. Settings > Google Maps > Background App Refresh = on   
      i. Google offline maps already previously downloaded using "OK MAPS"   
      
   3. Location could not be determined   
      Routing appears to not work (reporting "offline - touch to retry")   
      Route Preview appears to work just fine   
      a. Wi-Fi = off   
      b. Bluetooth = on <=== this is the only change from above   
      c. Airplane mode = off   
      d. GPS does not exist   
      e. Cellular does not exist   
      f. Settings > Google Maps > Location > While Using the App = checked   
      g. Settings > Google Maps > Notifications > Allow Notification = on   
      h. Settings > Google Maps > Background App Refresh = on   
      i. Google offline maps already previously downloaded using "OK MAPS"   
      
   4. Location was extremely accurate   
      Routing appears to work just fine   
      Route Preview appears to work just fine   
      a. Wi-Fi = on  <=== this is the only change from above   
      b. Bluetooth = on   
      c. Airplane mode = off   
      d. GPS does not exist   
      e. Cellular does not exist   
      f. Settings > Google Maps > Location > While Using the App = checked   
      g. Settings > Google Maps > Notifications > Allow Notification = on   
      h. Settings > Google Maps > Background App Refresh = on   
      i. Google offline maps already previously downloaded using "OK MAPS"   
      
   I need to test this on the road, so consider these preliminary results.
