Do I need to take my phone with me to see my gps route and if so do I need to have a WiFi connection?

Yes, your tracker uses the phones GPS. 

As for WiFi, I don't see how the phone would stay connected to your homes WiFi when our for a walk, so yes you may turn this off.

Thank you @Rich_Laue. So I don’t need any kind of internet or data?

[Rich_Laue]

In theory no. There are a few reports of a few phone models require a network connection for the gps to get connected. After which it may be disconnected.. 

I jave never experienced this.

If I have my phone with me do I need data and do I need to push track to let me see my gps route afterwards

How do I track my workouts with my Fitbit device?

No phone needs data a few phones want data enabled to setup the start of the data.
