Mavic 3 with RC controller Does it need internet connection?

Unless you want to
1) download maps
2) log in/out of the app
3) apply for permission to fly in a restricted zone
then I believe the answer is no.
The same thing applies to an app on a phone.

I live in Nevada and I have driven 50 miles out in the desert to catch a sunrise only to have my controller tell me I am not connected to the DJI fly app and my pro controller limits my flight to a 50 meter box. I cannot seem to override this and do not have normal control/flight ability until I get home and connect controller to internet to connect to DJI fly.
My solution, I power up the controllers at home, connect to DJI fly app, turn them off and drive out to whatever site I am going to.
Honestly, if I were to camp in Utah or northern Nevada for a few days I think I would be screwed without internet
Wish I could figure this out.

I think it's a 30 day thing. As long as that drone was turned on somewhere with wifi in the last month it'll work normally anywhere without a connection.
