How do I get my tracking to work without any GPS or wifi connection

Is this a trick question?
Buy a Pidgeon.
Hire an Aboriginal Tracker.
Leave stones on the ground.
Buy a Theodolite and accurate watch and learn how to use it.
Keep a diary of waypoints you see along the way.
Use a Pen and a paper map.
All of these methods work and were in common use till around 2000.
Other than that I am not sure what you are asking.

I save our GPS tracks (from a HN7) which I can then display on maps on the lap top via OziExplorer, off line.
OziExplorer can also replay the tracks in real time or accelerated. Speed and altitude is all available to review.
These tracks can be displayed at any scale that you have maps for.

Tracks at 1: 100,000
EDIT:
Keep those tracks as long as you want :)

Tracks 2003-2019

Ok I'll try to explain it as simply as possible.
A GPS gets your location (ie. lat/long data) from satellites so doesn't use phone signal.
Our app (
ExplorOz Traveller) will use that data when you are offline to show your position on an offline map. To see the map offline is easy - you just download it into the app before you go (there's a button to do that and its Australia wide).
When you buy our app -
ExplorOz Traveller you download it into your phone, tablet or computer and it works offline or online depending on the available service you have. You can use it completely offline if you prefer, or let it automatically switch between online/offline. You just have to buy it and download it from the app store first (Playstore, App Store, or Windows Store - depends what device you are using).
When offline - you'll see the maps you have downloaded and your position comes from the GPS and will be shown where you are on the map as you travel... SIMPLES ; )
TIP: all phones these days have inbuilt GPS receivers as do most tablets but if your's doesn't, you can always buy a portable GPS receiver designed for the job. eg. Garmin Glo2 or BadElf.
The idea is you can buy and download our
ExplorOz Traveller app and the
EOTopo maps for only $110 into any phone, tablet or iPad and you're good to go.
