Yes. I would need Mobile Priority to get in-motion $250
You shouldn’t need priority data to use in motion on land (below 100mph at least) yes the TOS says otherwise, but using daily in motion and no issues. 100-250mph requires priority data. Be careful though, mounted in oem configuration will destroy your antenna motors at speed.
No. An internet connection isn't needed to navigate off road. I use a purpose-built system using specialized pre-loaded maps that provide more detailed information, route planning, way-points, recording, etc.
This looks very good especially if you put a universal ball mount atop the extender! A tap to unpause SL subscription sounds awesome!
What system is that?
I subscribed to GaiaGPS ($59.90/year) and downloaded their app to my iPad Mini 5 with GPS receiver. The subscription gives me access to all kinds of map overlays on top of a (free) base road and trail map. There are overlays for topography (contour lines), cell coverage for various carriers, campsites, satellite view, public and private lands, USFS roads, trails and recreation sites, the location of forest fires, air quality, snow depth, precipitation forecast, native lands, light pollution, historic sites, and many others. I download the maps for the area I'm interested in plus any overlays. You don't need an internet connection or cellphone coverage to navigate. I mounted the iPad on the dash to make it easier to follow my preplanned travel route.

Unpausing Starlink is instant. I do it all the time. Whenever I go on an overlanding trip, I wait until I really need the Starlink connection to activate it. It takes me as long as it takes to make the request through the app.
Sweet!
I use the mobile service a lot and I'll keep it paused. When I unpause it, it is pretty instantaneous. They charge you for the month so once you unpause it, you paid for the month and pausing it doesn't refund any money so you might as well use that month. However if you choose to unpause it for a weekend and then pause it again, other service will stop right away but when you unpause it say because you realize you made it by mistake, it will resume almost immediately without charging you a second time for that month.
