Can the GLO2 GPS receiver connect with my iPad mini (A17 Pro) without 4G with iOS 26 in order to use a saved "Komoot" route for offline use ?

On an iPad mini (A17 Pro) Wi-Fi only running iPadOS 26, a Garmin GLO 2 can connect over Bluetooth and provide GPS position without any 4G/cellular. The GLO 2 is specifically designed to send GPS/GLONASS location data to Bluetooth devices like iPads.


For komoot offline navigation, the key is: download the Tour and the required map regions in komoot before you leave coverage; then komoot can navigate using GPS even when you’re offline (no data).
