Yes, when there is no Internet the sync should timeout immediately or maybe not even attempt it. Also with extremely poor connection, it might make sense to just fail the sync. Anyway, my aim is to start tracking the location fast when I am hurrying to a boat...

It would also be nice to know, what has been synced to the cloud or possibly when the last sync occurred successfully.

BTW what does the cloud symbol indicate in some of the dives?
