Bug (?): Here maps application minimizes, cannot be used

I have the Here Maps program (a store app).  After the installation of the tech preview the Here Maps application is unusable.  The application loads and shows the current map for about 5 seconds, then the application minimizes to the task
bar and cannot be opened or shown on the screen.  Any attempts to maximize the app yields the same results, 5 seconds and the app is again minimized.
It worked before the installation of the Technical Preview.

Hi,
I have tested on my 2 test machine with Windows 10 tech preview installed, one is clean installation, and another is upgrade installation from Windows 8.1.
There is no such issue on my Maps app. We can't say that it's a bug.
Regarding current information, this issue can be caused by corrupted register information or user profile.
I recommend you run following commands as administrator to re-register this app:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register  'C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.BingMaps_2.1.3230.2048_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxManifest.xml'
Let’s see what’s going on.
Also, considering that the corrupted user profile will cause this issue, please test in new user account to see if it can work fine.
If the issue still persists, please post back the saved event log under
Event Viewer>Applications and Services Logs>Microsoft>Windows>Apps
for our research.

  • HERE maps offline on WP8

    Hi!
    I have the Nokia 920 with version the  "Black" operating system. Version 8.0.10517.150
    When using the HERE maps (NOT the HERE Drive+) - I get really weird behavior when trying to use HERE maps in offline mode. (This is typical when you travel abroad.) 
    My config:
    Data connection: Off  (this is yet too expensive when not being "home")
    3G/4G: On (that you can make calls and send text messages)
    Maps: I have alread Downloaded the correct maps for the region I´m visiting. This is stored in the phone
    When I reach my new destination - the HERE maps application cannot find my new localization. (if it says anything it still pretends I´m back home). Only when I get hooked up to the internet via the first wi/fi connection - I can get the right position and map.
    Also, when I leave the Hotel for instance (not being logged on to the internet via wi/fi ) The Here Maps keep telling me I´m in a position back home. It lloses the right the position I had just minutes ago when I was at the Hotel and connected to the Internet via wi/fi.
    This cannot be the correct offline behaviour - right?
    How do I do to fix this issue?
    Solved!

    Here maps is a real disspointment. Why should I need navigation or recommendation to shopping, restaurants etc when I am at my hometown. I am  not a tourist in  my own country. I only need navigation when I am overseas. Nokia could have done better if they continued to provide AGPS in older phones like X7. Who can afford data roaming in another country. If that's the case, I might as well buy a local Gps for pennies. Nokia your thinking is really warped....... No more nokia, perhaps an old nokia.
    Not sure whats dissapointed you ? There are many users who are not fully conversant with all the areas of their home town ..Atleast I am not in the city of M'mbai..so I use Navigation as well as other features even locally .
    ..and get almost instanteneous GPS lock even with Mobile data 'OFF' and with 'Offline' maps..even while roaming ..

  • Error in Dutch translation in HERE Maps

    Hi,
    This has been bugging me for a while now There is a pretty serious Dutch language error in the HERE Maps application for Windows Phone 8.1. I could not find anywhere to report a bug to the HERE developers so I'm trying this place.
    When the compass needs to be calibrated, there is a message displayed on the screen that contains the following sentence:
    Er is iets dat uw kompas verstoord.
    This is very much incorrect, and should read:
    Er is iets dat uw kompas verstoort.
    Maybe this can be fixed in a future release.

  • Top Questions for HERE Maps & Drive & Transit

    This thread is to share some of the common issues that are being raised in relation to the HERE Maps, HERE Drive and HERE Transit releases. 
    Currently split in to the following sections:
    HERE Maps for Windows Phone
    HERE Drive for Windows Phone
    HERE Transit for Windows Phone
    Nokia Maps & Drive for Symbian
    HERE Maps for Windows Phone
    Can I sync my Maps favourites from my Symbian phone to my Windows Phone?
    Yes. Just sync the favourites on your Symbian phone with here.com. See the user guide of your Symbian phone for info on how to do this.
    Your favourites in here.com are automatically synced with your Windows Phone, if you're signed in to your Nokia account with your phone.
    Does HERE Maps work offline?
    Yes, on Windows Phone 8 devices HERE Maps can be used also in offline mode.
    With Nokia Maps on the Windows Phone 7 devices you need an online connection. In these devices the map data is streamed on as needed basis and it is not cached.
    Can I start Drive navigation from HERE Maps in my Nokia Lumia phone?
    Yes, on Windows Phone 8 devices you can start drive navigation from HERE Maps.
    On Windows Phone 7 devices you need to go to the Nokia Drive application to start the navigation.
    Why can't HERE Maps find my location?
    Check that you've allowed HERE Maps and your phone to find your location.
    In HERE Maps
    Go to Settings in the HERE Maps app and turn on Use your location
    In your phone settings
    In your phone's main menu, tap Settings > location > on.
    Things that can affect your GPS signal may include: being indoors, tall buildings, poor weather and some car windscreens. You'll also get a better fix on your location if you've got a data connection.
    HERE Drive for Windows Phone
    Can I use HERE Drive without a data connection?
    Yes. To use HERE Drive offline, tap Settings and choose Connection. You can then toggle between offline and online.
    Search results might be limited in offline mode. To be able to navigate offline, you need to download a map to your phone.
    What is the difference between HERE Maps and HERE Drive?
    HERE Drive is an application for voice-guided turn-by-turn driving navigation. HERE Maps is a map application which shows your current position and interesting places around you. You can also plan routes in HERE Maps but the app will launch HERE Drive for turn-by-turn navigation
    What's the difference between HERE Drive and HERE Drive+?
    HERE Drive offers turn-by-turn navigation in a single country or area, depending on the country of your SIM. Worldwide navigation is possible by purchasing an upgrade.
    HERE Drive+ is a premium app that comes with worldwide turn-by-turn navigation from the start. You can use it with or without a SIM.
    Users of HERE Drive can buy an upgrade to HERE Drive+ through the Windows Phone Store.
    HERE Transit for Windows Phone
    How do I install the HERE Transit application in my Windows Phone?
    Download and install HERE Transit from Microsoft Store. Start Store in your phone and search for HERE Transit or browse in Nokia collection.
    In Windows Phone 7 devices the corresponding app is Nokia Transport and it can be installed from Marketplace.
    Why can't HERE Transit find my route?
    If you're having trouble getting a route:
    Make sure the date, time and time zone on your phone are set properly.
    Check that you've got a data connection.
    A point in your route might be in a region where no transport info is available.
    The route is too long. HERE Transit is designed for use with local city public transport, not national or international transport.
    Can I save routes in HERE Transit?
    You can pin a journey from your current location as a tile to your Windows Phone start screen.
    Select the options icon at the bottom of the screen, and then the pin icon.

    How do I know if there is an update available for the map data in Nokia Maps 3.x?
    You can check if your device has the latest compatible Map data simply by connecting your device to a PC running Nokia Suite and selecting View > Go To > Maps.
    If you are using Mac, download Map Loader for Mac and then check if there's an available update for Map data (applies only for Maps 3.04 and older, version 3.06 and later not supporting Map Loader for Mac).
    With Maps 3.06 and later you can check the availability of map data updates and do the update over Wi-Fi (WLAN) connection by selecting:
    Maps 3.06: Update > Check for updates.
    Maps 3.08 and later: Map Loader > Check for updates.
    How can I start Drive navigation in Maps 3.08 (and later)?
    There is an icon for the Drive application available on your phone's home screen.
    You can also start drive navigation from Maps:
    1. Search for the destination.
    2. Select the place on the map and its information area at the top of the screen.
    3. Select Navigate, and Drive here.

    Got a Maps query? Check our Maps FAQ's

    Sorry, I'd like to unresolve this. The workaround mentioned is not a solution.
    I travel to loads of places by motorcycle, and going off the beaten track is wonderful. Since I upgraded My E6-00 and C7-00 to a Lumia 920, I'm back to allowing the SatNav (phone) to decide where I go. Boring dual carriageways and bypasses are now my natural habitat - bah humbug. Afterall, the phone is in my pocket (safe from weather), headphones in my helmet - I can't constantly look at a map. Having multiple 'favourites' and planning from one to the next isn't workable. Fair enough the Lumia 920 is usable with gloves on (major plus for a biker, come on you marketing people!) but I don't fancy re-routing all the time by the side of a road.
    I'm also planning a charity cycle ride over 100s of miles this Summer, and while that can be done in BikeRouteToaster, Google Maps etc, there is no import function into 'HERE' that I can see. It's impossible to plan a route on the device itself. Yes it can route walker (I can't seem to get turn by turn working for that, but nevermind), public transport and car, I have an option to avoid motorways etc, but cycle route planning needs consideration for height metres, unpaved/paved roads (Google StreetView etc used a lot to find a Sustrans route is actually unfit for road bikes) etc. So.. Importing a route planned elsewhere (gpx, kml or something) would be a real alternative, or a workaround. Asking the device to do its own planning from one point to another really isn't workable.
    Please make the Nokia's USP an actual USP again?

  • HERE maps and HERE drive for Universal app

    Hi All,
    Is Here Launcher supported in Win RT apps?
    Our requirement is to show the following in the map both in phone as well as in tablet
    1. user's location on the map with lat/long
    2. multiple locations on the map with (lat/long collection)
    3. directions on the map with (source lat/long, dest lat/long)
    4. live traffic updates
    5. show different types of pushpins on the map with (lat/long collection)
    Right now I'm launching HERE maps and drive in phone using uri scheme, but it is not supporting point no. 2 and 5.
    In Phone, is there any other way to launch HERE maps/drive other than uri scheme?
    I'm not able to find HERE drive in windows store, is it not available yet?
    In Phone, is it possible to go the HERE maps directly without hitting HERE splash screen? I know we are launching another application so we dont have control over splash screen, but is there any way to accomplish this?
    Regards, Sivaraman

    Hi Sivaraman,
    >>Is Here Launcher supported in Win RT apps?
    Based on the official
    HERE Launchers API document, it looks like Here Launcher is not supported in Store app.
    >>In Phone, is there any other way to launch HERE maps/drive other than uri scheme?
    As far as I know, HERE Launchers API and Uri Schemes are the only way.
    Quote from:
    http://developer.nokia.com/resources/library/Lumia/change-history/archived-content/maps-and-navigation/here-launchers.html
    The services provided by the HERE applications can be used in two ways:
    1.By utilising the HERE Launchers API provided, or
    2.by utilising the Uri Schemes implemented in HERE applications.
    The related thread:

    >>I'm not able to find HERE drive in windows store, is it not available yet?
    Yes, I can only see Here Maps in Windows Store now, so I think it is not available yet.
    >>In Phone, is it possible to go the HERE maps directly without hitting HERE splash screen?
    I don't find any explanations to talk about this in the above API documents, so I think it's not possible yet using official way.

  • No here maps in Pakistan.

    There are no here maps of Pakistan. Neither for viewing online nor for download to view in offline mode. Many apps such as here drive, Nokia transit etc depend on here maps and routes. Please provide here maps of Pakistan as this will prove to be a great feature for Pakistani consumers of Nokia/Microsoft. This will also be helpful in future integration of here maps with Cortana and Microsoft Band when they are released in Pakistan. The map download feature of here maps will attract more smartphone uses towards Windows Phone.

  • Cannot login into Here Maps on my Surface 2, but c...

    OK,
    here's the thing.
    With the latest updates for the HERE apps, I created a HERE account. This went without problems, and on my phone all HERE/travel related apps can login and work without a problem.
    I can sync and such, no issues there. Never used the Nokia account for that anyway, so no losses here ;-)
    I reinstalled HERE Maps (problem with updating maps gave me a blanc screen after restarting the app) on my Surface 2, and added the maps I want again.
    The app itself works, but I cannot login from within the HERE Maps app on my Surface 2. Eveytime I get the 'cannot login...' error.
    The login/passwork combo does work, as I can see on my WP8.1 Lumia phone. So I'm a bit baffled why it doesn't work on my tablet. And no.... logging in with a Facebook account doesn't fly. The MS account might, but that isn't an option here.
    thanks for any thoughts,

  • Help - "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed."

    Hello,
    I searched this site and google for this error terminology and come up dry.  I support a user who has been for years using Acrobat 5 (yes, I know...) to read files in a client DB program, as well as other PDF files on their PC.  In the last week or so, they have started gatting this error "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed." any time they attempt to open a PDF file attached to an email (via Outlook).
    It is my understanding that they cannot upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat because of limitations of their client software, but had not previously had any issues viewing PDF notes from the DB, and PDF attachments in their email.
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, as well as tried using Adobe Reader 7 & 9 in conjunction with Acrobat to try to get around this issue, but have not been successful.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jesse

    I don't have an answer to your technical problem. The product I assume is Acrobat that you are talking about (based on the post title), Adobe is the company name. This is a good place to ask questions on Acrobat if folks can figure out what you are talking about. They will ask for the product version number (like AA9.3.3), operating system, and other applications if appropriate. Also, just what you are doing that generates the message.
    As for Adobe, you are not likely to get an answer from them here in the user forum. You will be lucky if you can get an answer if you can contact them and not be on hold for more than an hour (sorry, this is why a lot of folks end up in the forum).
    So, to help others try to answer your question, what are the products and versions involved? What OS? What are you doing when the message comes up.

    I currently use parameters, and they are passed from the form to the report. Report is then generated based on a function returning ‘strongly typed’ cursor. The ‘strongly typed’ cursor in my case returns a record consisting of an orderly collection of fields.
    This collection of fields is returned by another function that relies on the IF … THEN logic.
    However, the number of IF ... THEN statements is quite large (currently 64 covering all possible combinations of 6 parameters available in the form).
    I would like to avoid the large number of IF … THEN statements, and hope that there is a way of passing a string to a query, where the Dynamic SQL would in Select close and Where close reflect parameters passed by the form.
    In addition to this I would like to avoid creating and populating a table or a view dedicated to the report, because this may lead to a conflict in case of multiple users concurrently generating reports with different choice of parameters.

  • Install error : disk cannot be used to start up your computer [or] MediaKit reports partition (Map) too small

    Greetings,
    I am aware that this problem has been discussed, but in long and vague discussions that I had to sift deeply to find an answer. Therefore I am posting a clear message, as this problem can be very troublesome for someone who just received a Mac OS installation disk and cannot install it.
    Situation : you cannot install/update your new system because the installer does not consider your volume.
    Error message : this disk cannot be used to start up your computer.
    Version française : Ce disque ne peut pas être configuré pour démarrer votre ordinateur.
    Also discussed below error: "MediaKit reports partition (Map) too small"
    Note : although this occurred with a Snow Leopard (10.6) install DVD, it can alo occur with Lion (10.7) according to discussions on Apple web site.
    IF YOUR CONDITIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS :
    - You are using an official Apple installation DVD of Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) [or 10.7 Lion] or an official download/upgrade of those systems.
    - Your main Mac partition scheme is in GUID as it should be (check with Disk Utility). That partition contains a Mac system that can start-up.
    - Your volume format is: Mac OS Extended (journaled) [the format should not be Case Sensitive.]
    - You have the hardware requirements to install Mac OS 10.6 (Intel processor; internal or external DVD drive or a linked DVD drive; 1 GB of RAM; a screen controlled by your computer graphics card; at least 5 GB space on the hard disk or 7 GB if you install all components).
    - Using Disk Utility, you of course tried the disk Repair Tool and the Repair Permissions tool.
    - Your hard disk does not have a file called Backups.backupdb (if it does, this means Time Machine has once used this hard disk for its back-ups). Anyhow, if it were the case, the installation would give a different error message (with the word TimeMachine). This file may block the installation: Apple Support suggest to place it in the garbage, *without* deleting it, and placing it back on the disk later. Mind you, if you do not use this hard disk as such to save your Time Machine back-ups, you can simply delete this file.
    HOW TO FIX :
    1. Boot with the 10.6 install DVD (Tip: you can either select Mac 10.6 as the boot DVD in your Start-up Preferences or simply press down c during the start-up).
    2. Above the install screen, you have a Utilities tab from where you can run Disk Utility. Select your hard disk and select the Partition tab. Resize the primary Mac partition (don't add a new one) by decreasing it by about 5 GB.
    It will look like this http://i.imgur.com/jHTbr.jpg
    ( That image shows only one partition, but the same principle applies even if you have two or more partitions on your disk.)
    Also see the official Apple how to: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3926
    Version française: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3926?viewlocale=fr_FR
    3. Commit the change by hitting "Apply"
    3.b. If you get the error "MediaKit reports partition (Map) too small", this is a rare error where the partition that follows (for example Bootcamp) is slightly overlapping your main Mac partition. You will need to reduce that other following partition. Once you have reduced the other partition, you will probably need to return to step 2 and 3 and try again.
    [ For example, in my case, I had resized my Bootcamp with CampTune software and it would seem that the file system ended-up somehow larger than the actual partition container. I simply asked CampTune to reduce the partition a bit (barely 2 GB) and that fixed it.]
    4. Reboot, again into the 10.6 install DVD.
    5. You can then install 10.6.
    6. Once 10.6 is installed, use the Disk Utility on the desktop (you can boot into the primary HD at this point) to resize the primary partition back to its original or maximum size.

    When I click on the icon for this drive, the warning message below states "Mac OS X cannot be installed on 'iMac HD', because this disk cannot be used to start up your computer." Obviously that's not true, since that's where the OS is installed.
    How did you partition this drive, if you did that? Does it contain start up or utility partitions for any other OS (for instance Linux)? There have been reports that the "cannot be used to start up your computer" message will appear if a third party utility was used to create a 'triple boot' system or such, apparently because SL is picky about the format GUID partition scheme table info & how partitions are allocated space on the drive by other formatting/partition methods.
    For some users with these partitions, the fix has been as simple as "tickling" (slightly changing) the partition size of some partition with Disk Utility, which apparently updates the GUID partition scheme table info so that the SL installer accepts it as safe to use with SL.( In this sense, the message may be trying to say the installer thinks the disk can't be used to reliably start up your computer with SL, not in general.)

    During installation of the Application server 10g3(Full install) a database is needed (for orabpel schema etc), but the installer checks if the version of the database is higher than 9i2 . This check fails and installation cannot continue. I think this is because the check is not really if it is higher than 9i but it is looking for a predefined range of versions from V$VERSION and 11 is not within that range
    Is there a possibility to overcome this? This is not a prerequisite check from OUI, but another check later on during install

  • E61: Cannot install nokia maps application

    I used to have Nokia Maps application installed in my E61 SD card, together with the maps. Then I had to re-format the card, loosing all information.
    Once I try again to install Nokia Maps application in my handset, there is an "update error", and the application is not install. My guess: there is somewhere a registry that lists nokia maps application as already installed, and will not allow to re-install again.
    I will appreciate your help.
    Thanks!

    Nokia have recently released a new version of Nokia Maps as well as MapLoader.
    I would recommend that you download these (you can find them at http://www.nokia.com/maps) and try again.
    First download the MapLoader program and try to delete any kind of previously stored map information on your phone, then download the appropriate Map program for your phone, and finally re-load MapLoader to load the relevant maps for your country on the E61.
    Regards,
    Edward

  • Using map-application with dataroaming "off"

    hello,
    does the map-application require internet- or wifi-access or uses it only gps-data? when not logged in to my provider with setting "dataroaming OFF" can I use maps-app and will get actual information?

    The iPhone includes A-GPS or assisted GPS to speed up the tracking process.
    The iPhone's GPS radio is functional by itself, but maps data must be downloaded to the iPhone via an available wi-fi network that you have access to, or via a cellular data/internet connection.
    If you are roaming internationally with data roaming off, no maps data will be downloaded/available. Maps data is not stored locally on the iPhone.
