Used when I'm in the field alone. I mostly have service at this site, so losing tracking offline isn't a problem for long. I haven't figured out how to select my actual work location as the destination, so I use a nearby town. All in all, it's unclear to me whether offline and custom destinations are options, but I haven't watched tutorials.
