"Favorites" in Maps and Drive+

Using Nokia 920: As if it is not bad enough that Maps and Drive+ are two separate apps, even though they are sharing the same map files (thank God!), I am wondering why they are also not sharing the same set of Favorites? If I have added a favorite to Drive+ since I drive there frequently, and then find myself needing to take public transportation or walk to the same place, why do I need to search & find that place AGAIN in Maps?? And, vice versa: If I added a favorite in Maps, why can I not use it directly in Drive+ as opposed to using Maps to get directions and have it dump me into Drive+? Just convoluted user interface...
Using Nokia 920 running on Windows Phone 8

I have the same question. It's CRAZY that Favorite places and Collections aren't shared between these two apps. (In fact, it's also not clear why they're not combined into a single app.)

  • Nokia Map and Drive+ Beta on Lumina 920 Feedback

    So I took my new phone down to MD/DC area in the last few days and here are a few things that I would like to post as my feedback on what would be nice to have, fixes, etc.  [I used both my new Lumia 920 and my wife's Samsung Galaxy Note 2 as comparsion).
    1. Highest priority for me is that the routes from Here.net need to be able to sync down to the phone.  Nothing more is more important then this because when you have a custom route that you want to use (for example, to route around high traffic or potential high traffic areas).
    2. Extremely disappointed that a new road in MD (MD 200) was not used by the Drive+ and didn't even show up on the map on my Lumia 920 while it was used and did show up on Google map.  This road is a toll road and is over a year old already.  [And yes, I have enabled toll road in the navigation as well as selected 'faster route' as the routing to use under smart routing].  I cannot stressed how disappointed I am to not see Nokia Map have this route at all.
    3. Allow route changes on the Nokia Drive+ app.  As good as pre-planned trip and using Here.net, there are just tmes that it's much better to allow us to change the route based on latest condition.
    4. Never once did I see ANY traffic updates at all on both the Map and Drive+ Beta.  When it does shows on my wife's Google's Map/Navigation.
    5. I love that under Drive+, it tells you which lane to get into ahead of when you need to make a turn or merge onto another way. However, the flip side of that is that there's no way to know which road you're currently on.  This is probably more important for when you're in an area with a lot of highway/local way intersections.  Also, it would be great if it also will display the next major 'road' that you will be getting onto.
    So far I'm happy with some of the functionality and disappointed in some of Nokia Map and Drive+ and I have about a week left to decide to either stay with WP9 and Nokia or do I want to switch back to Android and Google Map.

  • 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.

    >>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.

  • Active Directory Integration and Drive mapping

    We currently have a lab with 20 Mac Pro machines, and an Xserve.. all running 10.5+. We are looking at integrating the existing users, through AD, into the Xserve. We have been able to do simple authentication and drive mapping to the windows share easily enough. However what we would like to be able to do is mount a share from the Xserve for only the Macs for the students that will be in there, while keeping the Home directory from AD intact and still being mounted.
    Is that possible or I am going outside of what I am able to do?
    Thank you

    If I understand what you are asking, then you will need to bind the Xserve to AD, then promote it to an OD master. This will allow you to manage the AD groups without schema modification to AD, basically allowing the storage of Apple MCX attributes. You can then create a group in OD and add the AD group to it. Then, manage the OD group and set login preferences to automount a share. Check the box to allow unique user credentials to be sent. Since you are in a Kerberos/Single sign on environment, you will be able to pull this off very easily.
    During the workstation bind, make sure the UNC home path option is select and that you are choosing the correct protocol (SMB or AFP). That will allow the AD defined windows home folder to mount. Then follow the OD MCX stuff above to handle the mount of the share. You might also want to look into augmented records if you need to get management to the user level. I've had no need for this yet so I've not used it. Manage by nest AD group has always been enough because everyone gets the same stuff.
    Hope this helps

  • Maps Walk and Drive - 21 Day License free?

    Hi there,
    I was just giving Nokia Maps a whirl for the first time and stumbled across Walk and Drive and I added a 21 day license by mistake.
    It's due to expire on 25th Feb , is this some sort of free trial? Or would it have charged my mobile account?
    Also, does it renew itself automatically? I don't want this to happen as im not sure when ill be using it.
    Any help much appreciated.
    - D -
    Nokia 5800... probably the best Nokia I have ever owned.

    Haven't heard of this free trial and you can buy a 21day license either. Shortest duration is 1 month. A 1 month license for a single region is usually around €8.99.

  • Problems with Maps 2.0, favorites look-up and adre...

    I have the latest version of Nokia Maps (v2.0 wk26 b02) installed on my N82 some days ago. But now i have problems with adress search. I often notice that adresses that i try to search for, returns no results. This problem appears even if i can see the see the adress on the map, and even if i am connected to a network.
    And if i sometimes find an adress, and try to the function "show location on map", nothing happens...
    This also apply to some of the favorites that i saved earlier. For instance i have saved several places where my family live, but only one of two them can is now working as they did before. When i try the same function "show location on map", nothing happens...
    I even try to save new locations but the problem is still there. When i try to show the locations on map nothing happens.
    Is it only me that have this problem? Is there anyone that have an solution to this problem, or is it a bug that comes with the latest version og Nokia Maps?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi again.
    After a long time with trying and failing with solving this problem, and installed the latest maps 2.0 application all over again, and even installing the 1.0 application nothing helped.
    I even updated the firmware on the phone, but nothing helped. Nothing helped at all.
    But suddenly, with all these mapsproblems something else happened to. You know the multimediabutton on the front, (the one that is a little higher than the others) suddenly wouldn't work at all. If i pushed it the dislplay only "blinked" for a second, and then returned to the normal display again.
    So to solve all problems i decided to use the *#7370# function to reset the phone completely (after i backed up my data of course). Suddenly everything is working again.
    After this i upgraded to the maps 2.0 latest, and installed all my applicatons again. I can now search adresses again and see them on the map, i can save favourites and view them on the map....
    And now my multimediabutton is back to normal again aswell.
    So the problem is now solved :-)

  • GPP Drive map and logon impact

    Hello,
    GPP drive mapping requires synchronous processing which cause slower logon time. But it seems after reading this article here http://blogs.technet.com/b/grouppolicy/archive/2013/05/23/group-policy-and-logon-impact.aspx  that if you
    don't modify the GPP drive mapping after it has been applied, for every other logon, policies will be process asynchronously resulting faster logon. This is not what I experiment, even if I don't modify the GPP, every two logon, policies are
    process synchronously
    Here another way to improve logon time when using GPP drive map :
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/12221.troubleshooting-the-drive-maps-preference-extension-in-group-policy-replace-mode-only-maps-the-drive-every-other-logon.aspx?wa=wsignin1.0
    ... The reconnect option is the same as mapping a drive using the /PERSISTENT attribute. This allows the state of the mapped drive to be saved between user logon sessions.  In this solution, use Create action to map a drive that persists between user
    logons. This would allow for faster logons because
    Group Policy wouldn’t be forced to run synchronously every logon cycle.
    Same here, even if I set the persistence attribute, every two logon, policies are processed synchronously.
    Are those both articles given wrong information or do I miss something?
    Thank you for your help.
    Chris

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/grouppolicy/archive/2013/05/23/group-policy-and-logon-impact.aspx
    This article is misleading in terms of foreground/background/sync/async.
    I tend to say we have two processing modes only: sync and async. sync
    can only occur at startup/logon, and it only occurs if several other
    conditions are met (these conditions are correct in the above blog
    post). sync in my terms is identical to foreground, and async is
    identical to background :)
    So the question still is: Do you have any policy settings in place that
    might force the next processing to be sync?

  • N8 and Drive App Problems

    So heres my problem
    Downloaded maps - Great!
    Created Route and added to favorite - Great
    Sync and transfer - Great
    Set up to Drive Offline - Great
    Get in car select drive app and route, wait a couple of minites for it to settle down and then it all starts to go wrong.
    Instantly trys to send me the wrong way out of my road and carries on like this for a few miles until finally picks up the route. Okay you say! Not on your life. On motorways trys to take me off and on slip roads, A roads sends me in circles?
    Luckily only tried it on routes I know , and yes the route is the same as saved to favorites, wouldn't trust it to get me to somewhere I didn't know.
    So why is it doing this? Surely the whole point of putting a route in YOU want to follow is just that!!!!!!!

    @discobandit
    Not clear whether you are trying to use N8 without Assisted GPS being able to access data connection or not here. Whilst GPS antenna size/position compromise is not brilliant upon N8, there can be like with any GPS device problems using within vehicles with Athermic, or UV Coated windscreens.

  • Enable Recycle Bin on mapped network drives

    A few years ago I discovered how redirected user profile folders in Windows get Recycle Bin protection, even when the folders are redirected to a network location. This was a huge find for me, and I used this feature to add Recycle Bin coverage to some of
    my mapped network drives. I shared this information on another forum here:
    http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/16974-Tip-Network-Recycle-bin
    Today I figured out a better way to achieve the same goal that doesn't rely on user profile folder redirection, and am sharing that information for other users to try out. You might want to take a look at these forum topics for additional information:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787939(v=ws.10).aspx
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2012/07/16/managing-the-recycle-bin-with-redirected-folders-with-vista-or-windows-7.aspx
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb882665.aspx
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/10bfcfb9-14f3-434e-9ffa-0289b8b32e01/folder-redirection-recycle-bin
    The standard disclaimer applies - this might break stuff. I've only tested in Windows 8, and my testing is limited. Try this at your own risk.
    This is what I've learned (or think I've learned - I might be wrong):
    Windows Vista and later store the configuration settings for the Recycle Bin for redirected user profile folders in this registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket\KnownFolder
    Under this key are separate keys for each redirected folder that is protected by the Recycle Bin. The keys contain the configuration information for each protected folder, and are named to match the GUIDs for "Known Folders." A list of the Known
    Folder to GUID mappings is available in one of the links above.
    The registry also contains a list of "known folders" at this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions
    So, I reasoned that if I could create my own custom "known folder," I could add that to the list of folders that were protected by the Recycle Bin and protect any mapped network drive I wanted. So I looked at the list of existing "known folders"
    and created a key that was similar to the Documents key. I then fiddled with the values in the key until I narrowed it down to the minimum number needed to make the recycle bin work.
    This .reg file will protect a mapped X: drive with a ~50GB recycle bin. You should modify the file to fit your needs:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{9147E464-33A6-48E2-A3C9-361EFD417DEF}]
    "RelativePath"="X:\\"
    "Category"=dword:00000004
    "Name"="XDrive"
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket\KnownFolder\{9147E464-33A6-48E2-A3C9-361EFD417DEF}]
    "MaxCapacity"=dword:0000c7eb
    "NukeOnDelete"=dword:00000000
    A few things of note:
    The GUID in the above .reg file {9147E464-33A6-48E2-A3C9-361EFD417DEF} came from this PowerShell command: "{"+[guid]::NewGUID().ToString().ToUpper()+"}"
    Each "known folder"/Recycle Bin combination requires a unique GUID. If you don't want to use PowerShell to generate a GUID, you can use an online GUID generator.
    I don't know what the "Category" value does, but the key I copied had it set to 4, and that works, so I didn't test any other values.
    The "Name" value is required, but is not the name that will be shown if you right-click on the Recycle Bin and select properties. (At least not in my environment.) In my environment, the name that is shown is the name of the network drive.
    Making this change adds a "Location" tab to the properties page of your mapped network drives. I suspect this could be removed by changing the "Category" value, but didn't bother to find out.
    I only tested with mapped network drives. I suspect this would work with UNC paths as well, but I didn't bother testing.
    I hope you're as excited to find this as I was to figure it out. Let me know if this works for you. I now plan to deploy the registry keys with Group Policy Preferences and will update this forum post with any information I discover.
    Best regards
    --Russel
    Update: I am now using Group Policy Preferences to deploy the needed registry keys, and all my mapped network drives are now protected by the recycle bin.
    Update 2: I have tested now with UNC paths, and this works fine. I still use mapped network drives, but if your environment requires UNC paths instead, you can use them. Note however that if you have a mapped network drive that points to a UNC path, and
    you protect the UNC path with a registry change, if a user deletes a file from the mapped network drive that points to that UNC path, the file will be permanently deleted. See below for more details.

    FANTASTIC work Russel !

  • How can I get a Powershell script which maps network drives to execute at logon to any workstation in my domain

    I want to map network drives for each user when they logon to any workstation in the network.  I have created and tested the PS1 script which works fine where the drives attach and used persistent parameter.  I have updated the Windows 7 Professional
    64-bit workstation to the latest PS 4.0 code.  I have created the GPO and believe everything is assigned properly.  I made changes to allow execution of local and remote signed scripts.  I have forced the changes on a workstation using GPUPDATE
    /force, but the drives do not connect.  The GPRESULT is as follows which shows the policies are in place as shown below.

    First: Only one of all current answers points in the right direction.
    You picked the local sysvol path on the DC which does not exist on
    clients, of course...
    The Path to the script MUST be an UNC path starting like
    \\mrc.net\sysvol\mrc.net\Policies\...
    Second: You CANNOT execute PS1 directly (unless you change the .ps1 file
    extension configuration). The "Name" MUST be "powershell.exe", and the
    script itself goes into "Parameters".

  • Mapped network drive appears empty for all users on one computer

    We have several network drives mapped via a batch file at log in.  On one particular Windows 7 computer one of these drives maps but appears empty.  Manually mapping to the drive and assigning a different drive letter makes no difference but manually
    mapping by entering the IP address allows viewing and accessing the contents.  
    The malfunctioning network drive is also using Hosted BranchCache.  The following settings are set in local group policy:
    (\Network\BranchCache)
    Turn on BrancheCache - Enabled
    Set BranchCache Hosted Cache Mode - Enabled - <servername>
    Configure BranchCache for network files - Enabled - 0
    The servers involved are running Windows Server 2012.
    I am at a loss here and will appreciate any suggestions. 
    ~JuniorG33k "Why is this thus? What is the reason for this thusness?"

    With Offline Files disabled the contents of the mapped drive are visible and accessible.  Unfortunately, Offline Files must be enabled for BranchCache to work.  
    Looking in the Event Viewer at “Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\OfflineFiles\Operational” I can see that the mapped network drive transitioned to slow link during high latency but has never transitioned back.

  • How can I map a drive to Azue file shares without user intervention or having a user logged on?

    I have the file share created, and can manually map the drive. I have even created a batch file that will create the drive mapping.  One step further, I used the following regedit to create the mapped drive:
    Regedit:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    add new string value:
    value name:  MapS
    value data:  c:\azurefileshare.bat
    I have a scheduled task running a batch file running the net use command, and the drive is available, and I can create/delete files, so access is not an issue.
    All works fine if I log onto the server, however, what I am trying to accomplish, is to have that drive mapped upon reboot without having a user log on.   Checking the log file running the net use command when no one is logged on, I get the following:
    Status       Local     Remote                    Network
    Unavailable  S:        path of file share
    Microsoft Windows Network
    The command completed successfully.
    New connections will be remembered.
    Is there a way to accomplish this?  Thanks in advance.

    Hello wdick,
    Thank you for your response and getting back on this issue. I am sorry that the blog that I referred to was not available. I pretty much thought that you must be referring to the ‘File Services’ which is in preview yet. I recently had another user with a similar
    question but currently, the users can access the files using only 'Interactive logon'. You can refer to this link: 
     http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1f1fa9b5-a81d-4067-9d90-2c7c47667732/azure-file-services-authentication-without-prompt-passthrough?forum=windowsazuredata 
    Thanks.

  • Map a drive to the Remote Web Access - Shared Folders

    All companies love Remote Web Access. No need for VPN for access to remote desktop and the "private skydrive" Shared Folders.
    Is there anyway to map a drive to these "private skydrive" Shared Folders? you can map a drive to the real skydrive and to Sharepoint so surely it is possible?

    The trick that I found was to upgrade my file server to server 2012 R2 and configure iSCSI Target for the resource I wanted to access by RWA. On my RWA Server I then used the iSCSI initiator to connect to that Target. This makes the shared drive appear
    as if it is a native drive on the RWA server. Once this was done I configured that drive, or a folder within that drive for access with RWA. It has worked perfectly ever since.
    Trust but verify!

  • Location is not available to mapped network drive in Windows 8 using Synology NAS

    Original Thread:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-files/location-is-not-available-to-mapped-network-drive/ca7eac5c-0e3d-494b-b488-e245978e4db9
    I have recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 standard edition. I have come across a problem when using the option for mapped network drives. Under Windows 7 I would normally map a network drive (Synology NAS) and I could access all files, copy and paste, install
    apps, and link media, all from within the mapped network drive. However, under Windows 8.1 I have come across a couple of problems.
    1. When I try to copy a file from my "Mapped Network Drive" to the C:\Drive (OS Boot Drive), I get the following error,
    "E:\ is unavailable. If the location is on this PC, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted, and then try again. if the location is on a network, make sure you're connected to the network or internet, and then try again. If the
    location still can't be found, it might have been moved or deleted."
    However, if I copy a file from the "NETWORK/Network Location" the file copies just fine with no problems. And, If I also copy a file from a "Added Network Location" the file also copies just fine with no problems. And, if I copy a file from
    my "Mapped Network Drive" to my D:\Drive (non OS Drive), the file copies just fine with no problems.
    2. When I try to install apps from my "Mapped Network Drive" they will sometimes install and sometimes not (I am also choosing the option to run the programs as Administrator). Again if I try to install using either the "NETWORK/Network Location"
    or an "Added Network Location" the apps install just fine with no problems.
    3. When I link media (music or videos) from my "Mapped Network Drive" they will work but once I reboot they no longer work as if they have lost the file path or link of the original source location.
    4. When I use FireFox (browser) and I set my default download dir to my "Mapped Network Drive" it will work once originally set it but after I reboot, it no longer works. However, again if I set the default download dir to either the "NETWORK/Network
    Location" or an "Added Network Location" the default download dir works fine even after reboot.
    While I am able to access my network drive using any of the three options, "Mapped Network Drive", "NETWORK/Network Location", and "Added Network Location" but only "NETWORK/Network Location", and "Added Network
    Location"appear to be reliable. Tbh I would prefer to be able to use my "Mapped Network Drive" in Windows 8 as I have been able to under Windows 7.
    More info:
    I currently have UAC set to "Never Notify".
    I also have Windows 8.1 installed on three different systems and all of them give me the same exact problems. One of the systems is a completely clean install with no 3rd party apps installed.
    Just so its clear I am able to access the "Mapped Network Drive" but unfortunately this method of access appears to be unreliable in Windows 8 but in Windows 7 it works flawlessly.
    If I map a network drive from another pc running windows 7 or 8, I can access and use the mapped drive with no problems. This problem appears to be related to the Synology NAS devices and I have researched the Synology forums but only found one thread about
    the problem, here:
    http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=76687
    I have searched several forums and attempted to pick the brains of my local computer shops for any incite on this problem but I have been unable to find a solution/fix.
    Any help resolving this is greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Based on your description, we can temporarily disable the firewall to see whether the issue persists.
    For this issue seems related to the Synology NAS devices, in order to get professional help regarding the product, we can contact the vendor support to see whether the issue
    can be fixed.
    Best regards,
