New navigation app from Garmin, awful business model. Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere. A $0.99 app that will cost up to $100 if all in-app purchases go with it. All for a service some provide (near) free.

I just have wifi, and am still trying to get it to work offline, is there a secret?or do you need 3G?

Viago
@ewayne1941 ...ViaGO works just fine offline if you have purchased the "Maps to go" add on. Without the maps, you would need a live connection (wifi or 3G) for it to be useful.

I started the new threads as shown below
It may be time to start two different Garmin Viago threads, one for android and one for Apple. That way it would be easier to track updates and workarounds and fixes related to a specific operating system.
We could possibly title them:
"Viago for Android updates and tweaks"
"Viago for Apple updates and tweaks"
I will look for them after you start the threads.

I have Wifi to download the maps.
The downloaded maps worked great for me when I turn the wifi off.
Any of them should have worked.
Is there a check mark by yours in your download manager?

Wifi
Yes, the check mark shows it is installed

The only time
The only time mine tells me no internet connection is if I try to use something that needs internet, or it needs to download something.
Have you tried to redownload your map to go that you are trying to use?

Viago Trip Planner Article
I read on another forum that there's a post on the Garmin Blog explaining how to use Viago to plan multistop trips (iOS and Android)
