Does PaddlePal use my phones data?

Short answer: Very little — and it works great even with no signal.

PaddlePal is designed for paddlers who venture off the grid. Whether you’re in a remote bay, on a long-distance SUP adventure, or just want to conserve data, PaddlePal continues tracking your session using your phone’s built-in GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) — no mobile signal required.

✅ Paddle Without a Signal

• No Signal? No Problem: PaddlePal tracks your route using satellite signals (GPS/GNSS), not your mobile network.
• Offline-Friendly: You can record your entire paddle session without an internet connection.
• Map Display Requires Data: Viewing your route over map tiles does require a data connection to download maps — but tracking works without it.

📍 Logging the End of Your Session

• We recommend having an internet connection at the end of your session to sync the final location and upload stats.
• If you’re offline, no worries — your session is still saved locally. You can update or sync details later when you’re back online.

📉 How Much Data Does PaddlePal Use?

PaddlePal is built to use minimal mobile data:

• It sends and receives small amounts of data only when needed — for things like syncing workouts, weather updates, and loading maps.
• No constant background uploads, and no surprise data drains.

🧭 Summary

You can rely on PaddlePal to track your SUP or kayak session without worrying about mobile data or signal strength.It’s perfect for remote paddles, long excursions, and data-conscious adventurers.
