I installed Wise Pilgrim and downloaded Primitivo map.
Can't open or view it. I only get to online Google maps at my current Home location. Can't click on Offline maps.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

You can send a private message to @wisepilgrim - just click on his name and then "start conversation.". Or he will probably be along to weigh in on this thread.
 
Give back to the Camino. Join us from Logroño to Burgos May 30 to June 8.
Download offline tiles from the download page in the app. Once they are done and unpacked, switch to any page that has a map. On the bottom is a toggle button to switch between map types. Remember that offline maps only cover the area immediately surrounding the Camino.
 
Another option is to download an app that allows you to spoof your location. I used Fake GPS when testing the great Camino Ninja. Just checked Android and Apple app stores and there are many options. Buen Camino!

On the iPhone, going to maps defaults to my current location as you would want it to when walking. Sitting at home, however, I zoom out to continent level and can see the red/green map dots in northern Spain. Zoom in and the detail appears.

You don’t really need to spoof your location. The app will zoom in to the Camino and the maps work perfectly fine without knowing where you are. Spoofing for the sake of seeing your fake location on the map feels like a lot of work.

I’m the blue dot in hit Arizona and you can see the Camino in Spain on the picture. Just enlarge that part and you can see all of the download of Camino Frances. It only took me about 3 years to finally figure it out.
 
Fail to prepare? reduce your risk by buying this book full of practical info.
2nd ed.
To check what I have available offline, I find it helpful to turn off wifi and switch to airplane mode. When you open the app, you'll need to navigate from your current location to the Camino.

There is no need to navigate to the Camino on the map page if you open the map from a city or an accommodation on the Camino, both of those map buttons specifically open to the place selected.
