Indicates you're connected to a WiFi device, but not making a connection beyond that.
What are you using for a WiFi hotspot? If it's your phone, be sure that your provider has enabled tethering on your plan. Have you tried alternate WiFi sources?

Perform the below steps and it should resolve the issue:
a) First, fully charge the device through a wall charger.
b) Make sure the device is NOT connected to a computer.
c) Kindly go outside where there is a clear view of the sky and let the device connect to the GPS signal. Let the device boot completely and wait till the navigation arrow on the map screen turns Blue (which indicates that the device has a valid GPS signal).
d) Once done, then try to connect to Wi-Fi and test. NOTE: The GPS unit should not be connected to a computer. You can connect to a wall charger.
e) Please do not connect to the Wi-Fi networks mentioned below:
Public Wi-Fi
Guest Wi-Fi
Office Wi-Fi
Restricted Wi-Fi.

Be SURE that you've got your laptop's power mode set up such that it does NOT go to sleep after X minutes of 'inactivity'. It's stupid, but download activity isn't considered 'activity' by most laptops. You'll need to restart the map download with the laptop set up such that it does not time out.
