The ONLY way to stop the internet connection request is to remove the sim card . If anybody finds out some better way, PLEASE POST!

To use the search function for route, you need to be connected. However, you can search for your destination when online, and save it on the map. And then when OFF line in a car or on the street, you can make route connection from point A to point B as long as you have the saved destination on map. Correct, you need the internet for search, you DO NOT need the internet to use route. I have route to guide me many times.

I know it is a little bit tricky, well, still better than not there.
