Gps and nokia drive

Hi, i have the new Nokia lumia why is necessary to have data connection to use Nokia drive? I this phone have a god why doesn't work with it. I had a Nokia x6 and Nokia maps it worked perfectly.could you make that Nokia drive works only with god and no with data transfer?
Thanks

With the Lumia 800, even though you can pre-download map data, you can only search online for the moment. I am told this is still work in progress and full offline navigation should be available soon in future updates.

  • Using Nokia 5800 GPS and accepting a call

    Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to answer calls while the GPS is on on my Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition.  Currently, when I use the GPS and someone calls, I tap the answer button, but I get a message that says not allowed.  I was looking around in the settings, but can't find anything.  I was hoping there would be a way to answer the call and turn on the speakerphone so I can drive and talk at the same time.  Anyway know if this is possible?
    Thanks!

     Getting my first call during active turn-by-turn navigation, I wondered about this strange behaviour too. As it is I dont see any green phone icon on the navigation screen. With the terminal placed in the included windscreen fixture, it is hardly traffic safe to have to press many buttons to get the handsfree activated! Nokia could consider another option on the main screen when a call is waiting to be accepted, for going directly to speakerphone-mode, or at least a configurable option within the maps application. As of now it jumps back to the maps app, which induces the added (two) press of the application switch button. I suppose buying a separate handsfree kit might 'solve' this basic issue, but that should really not be needed out-of-the-box with a dedicated navigation edition. If someone figures a setting that I have overlooked, I would be pleased to get a hint, thx.

  • Nokia drive and other apps for other windows phone...

    i saw on the net abt the pirated versions of nokia s best gps app being used on other windows phones and with partnership of microsoft will there be nokia apps available officially on the marketplace ..? and m confused between nokia 710 and samsung omnia w.. both priced the same and omnia with front cam but i need the gps navigation for sure more than frnt cam..now the point is if nokia makes their apps available for other devices then no point in buyin any phone in intrest .. i got this doubt coz i read nokia maps coming to other devices and also the EA games ???? pls suggest

    I would not bother getting a nokia at the moment.....
    If you can live without nokia drive for now then i would hold back for atleast 6 months and see what happens.
    Nokia have slipped down the chain a bit and are not as almighty as they use to be.
    There are loads of probs with the Lumia 800 and the 710 is not all that good compared to nokia's of old.
    I got the 710 because of nokia drive and it is no where near as good as the old Ovi navigation...
    In fact the whole phone is a let down....with poor camara, poor sat nav, poor speaker and poor battery...
    The Actual phone is a nice design and the screen is not bad...WP7.5 looks interesting but still needs a lot of work to catch up with the others.
    Not sure what the Omnia is like...but if i knew then what i know now about the 710 i would of gone for the HTC Radar and just used my N8 for Sat Nav.

  • An appeal to Nokia - GPS and time

    This is an appeal to Nokia to create products that make use of the fact that GPS receivers can give accurate time.
    I'm an amateur astronomer, and GPS and Java-enabled mobile phones are an absolute godsend - I can whip out my phone and, with a built-in GPS and the right software, it will figure out where I am and hence what is visible in the sky.
    EXCEPT that what is visible in the sky is also dependent on the time. And sometimes, having access to accurate time can make all the difference.
    For instance, I am currently working on updating software I wrote to calculate the circumstances of total solar eclipses - something that a GPS-enabled mobile phone is perfect for. And a couple of seconds error in the phone's clock can make all the difference.
    So please please Nokia make use of the fact that GPSes can give (astonishingly) accurate time.

    To sync to GPS time on your Nokia phone, you need either Free TimeSync or FreeTimeBox, 
    These are free ware apps which allow you to sync to GPS time.
    here's a link to Free TimeBox 
    http://nucellphone.com/freetimebox-v1-06-for-nokia-s60v5
    Its the newest version compatible for s60v5, but AFAIK it should work on non touch phones as well.

  • Nokia Drive 3.0 Commute Live Tile

    The Nokia Drive live tile does not update at commute time. I have to open app then exit to start screen at which time the live tile updates. When I open the app the second time it will the ask if I want to begin the commute. The live tile should automatically change near the specified commute time.

    Nokia ovi maps was a good software with some minor flaws which i had hoped would be solved in the wonderful 'nokia drive' software. Thus i bought a lumia800. Obviously Nokia Drive was only designed so Nokia could claim they have a free navigation software. I think, they hope that after 10 seconds every user will realize, that it is useless and buy 'Navigation Europe' (45€) (which is still not as good as ovi maps used to be.)
    You cannot chose fastest/shortest/optimised route, so nokia drive basically always goes for the next motorway, even if it is a major detour and/or takes longer.
    If you leave the route it keeps trying to get back on the route, even if your destination is 50 meters straight ahead
    destination input is awkward and lacks the option to pick a destination on the map
    You cannot chose to avoid toll roads
    You can only add a favorite on your current position
    You can only add maps country by country
    Voice commands with street names are not availablea
    Offline search for the simplest things like 'gas station' does not yield useful results - a poi database (like in ovi maps) is not available
    And i do not expect that any of the next updates will solve any of these issues, else nobody would buy the navigation europe software.
    so as things are now i would recommend to buy any other phone with gps and buy some navi-software. 'free nokia navigation' is not an argument for anything.
    So disappointing!

    When will Nokia Drive 3.0 come out? the new version will supported offline favorite right? Can you make it with online Windows Live account supported? I means can sync with Windows Live account or Nokia account.

  • [Nokia Drive + Beta] Gas station

    Hi,
    I think it would be fine to add in Nokia Drive a feature to search for gas station. For instance, my car uses E85 bioethanol, and so if I have to do a long trip, I would like to be able to plan my trip according to E85 gas stations as well.
    An idea would be to be able to add how many kilometers we can do with one tank, and so when we plan a trip with the GPS, the GPS will have an option to go from gas station to gas station if needed...
    Thanks

    Do not see any harm in e-mailing thru' other country's site ..e.g.here as final aim is to put it thru' to Nokia ...Just try and see for any responce ..

  • Nokia Drive Beta Feedback

    So coming from an Android phone with Google Navigation, now I have a Nokia Lumia 822 with Nokia Drive. There are a lot of things that I really miss but here are the top things needed to make this app useable.
    1) Traffic Information - The route must show traffic information on the route I'm on plus those around it. Otherwise it is useless in high traffic areas like southern california.
    2) Compare Route - The app should allow you to see what are the optional routes and how long it thinks each one will take (and this must take traffic information into account). This is my favorite feature in Google Navigation and it helps me feel that I've made the best choice on which route I'm taking. 
    3) Pessimestic Estimations - Please don't be like Garmin GPS devices and tell me I'll be somewhere sooner than is actually possible. I like the Google Navigation tends to be pessimistic about it's estimates so usually I can beat the estimated time of arrival. Beating that time feels like winning whereas with the Garmin I always felt frustrated that it took so much longer. 
    Please consider adding these features!
    If any of them already exist, then please do a better job of documenting the application and how it works. Right now I have no idea if the time you estimate includes traffic time or not. I don't know if you'll reroute me if a freeway closes. I don't know anything about the app since I don't know where to find it.
    Thanks!

    Things I noted when traveling from Seattle and the Oregon coast:
    1. High gps use and battery drain. I had to buy a 2 amp iPad car charger to keep the battery from draining.
    2. Excellent as long as good gps signal.
    3. Loses sanity rapidly when gps signal poor. Does not warn you --told us to turn at weird points where there was no road. Then it would tell us randomly every few miles 'keep left', keep right, 'enter the motorway'. We were laughing so hard it kept us awake. Had to exit the app to fix it.
    4. Rather than telling you to turnaround, it tries to micromanage a turnaround. Since this usually happens when there is a poor gps signal, you can get really confused--as the app is also really confused. Doesn't help in the dark on HWY 101.
    5.Tells me a turn is coming in 300 yards, when its really about 200-300 feet. The 3/4 mile warning is also off.
    Items 3, 4, & 5 really need improvement.

  • Nokia Drive + beta "Drive to" doesn't work on Lumi...

    Hi,
    Seems like Nokia Drive + beta doesn't work on my Lumia 920. I'm currently in Macedonia and trying to get directions from one location in Skopje to another always gives me the message: "Sorry , can't find your route. Navigation is not yet available in your country. Please go back."
    I have the Macedonia map downloaded, and I have checked the list of supported countries, where Macedonia does appear. Nokia Maps seems to have no problem finding a route between the same two locations, but Nokia Drive + beta keeps giving me that message.
    http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Maps-Navigation-an​d-GPS/In-which-countries-can-I-use-navigation-with​... Nokia list here also shows Macedonia is supported.
    Nokia Drive version: 2.1.0.1451, map 8.0.48.113 (info from Nokia Drive + beta about screen)
    Any ideas?

    For me it doesn't work even if the location is only 2.2km away. lol @ fuel company shares
    I wonder if we can get someone in tech support at Nokia to read this. I've tried contacting their support chat but we didn't get far (or anywhere for that matter). I'd like to know whether this issue is known or not, and whether a fix is planned. If it's an isolated case, what can I do to make it right? I'm willing to work with someone in order to get this resolved.

  • Nokia Drive missing

    My wife received her black HTC 8X yesterday and I am still waiting for my blue one.  One thing I noticed right away is that Nokia Drive is missing from the phone.  Was this on purpose?  I was under the impression this was bundled with Windows 8 phones free.  I really hope this wasn't Verizon's idea so they can charge for VZ navigation.

    Below is the response I received from HTC.  I'm thinking its either back to Android or get the Nokia 822 (which is not my first choice).
    Thanks for contacting HTC!
    Nokia said that Nokia Drive will be available for all Windows 8 phones, this however is up to the manufacturer, we are currently reviewing the possibility of bringing Nokia Drive in our future releases and as an update. Meanwhile, you may try some applications on the Windows marketplace that have voice GPS navigation such as Garmin Streetpilot.
    Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us through http://www.htc.com/us/support/email-support or call us at +1-866-449-8358 from 6AM to 1AM EST, 7 days a week.

  • Nokia Drive 3.0: Inaccurate Distances & Drive Time...

    Whenever I create a route it shows a much longer drive time than is realistic: for example, my daily commute takes typically 20 minutes, yet the app will forecast 35 minutes! It is only within the last few minutes/miles that the time to go becomes more realistic.
    Whereas creating the same route with, say, the AA or RAC route planners, these come up with accurate times.
    When a route is saved as a favourite, the distance shown is much less than that shown when the route is actually created & being followed, for example, my daily commute is approx 12 miles in each direction, which is correctly shown when driving the route. However, when I view this route in 'favourites' it shows approx 9 miles which I am guessing is a straight line distance.
    Can you please update the accuracy in both cases?

  • Lumia 920 Nokia Drive + Beta My Location Freezing

    Hi, first post, be gentle.
    I am getting issues while using Nokia Drive + Beta, my position isn't moving when driving or taking 5 - 10 seconds to update then just freezes again.
    it seems that i set destination, it finds me and my destination fine, i click start, it gives the first direction fine, i start driving and nothing, "my position" on the display doesn't move, the only way i can update it is "stop navigation" then "set destination" again where it picks up my new location.
    i've ensured location services are on, location within the app is turned on, i've checked my connection is "online"...are there any other settings i should be aware of?
    speed alert is off,
    landmarks is off,
    map colours automatic
    updated maps
    navigation licence is global
    i am using it in a windscreen mount that grips the top and bottom of the phone with little "arms", i've tried in both landscape and portrait orientation.
    bluetooth is on and hoping to be playing music at the same time eventually.
    i have been having the general "freeze out" issue recently with the phone where i lock it and then it doesn't come back on without a button reset, 2 times since friday
    any advice appreciated
    Solved!

    I too had a similar issue, it was slow to update the other night when I needed GPS to find me a place my family and I were supposed to go to. I've had intermittent issues like that on my old N8 as well but I believe that was due to the network, rather than my phone.
    However, now that you have mentioned that you have had to reset the device a couple of times, I suggest that you backup all your personal data first to your PC or other device, and then perform a hard reset. Ensure that you have the latest Nokia updates as well that are being pushed through the Store.
    Failing that, you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for them to inspect, as it may be a deeper problem. To locate nearest Nokia Care: http://nokia.com/support

  • Nokia Drive lacks Serbia map

    Hi,
    I am using Lumia since launch, and one of functions I wanted is a good navigation application. Then I got a Nokia Drive, but there is no map for my country (well there is, only two main highways are mapped...)? All other navigation companies have very detailed maps of Serbia(iGo, Garmin, Navigon). It's even more ridicoluos that many of them use Navteq maps... Almost any other European country have detailed maps. Anybody can give a reasonable explanation for this? I can't understand that

    There's no reasonable explanation man

  • Routing issue with Nokia Drive on Lumia 900

    So I finally tried to use Nokia Drive on a real trip (in New Jersey, USA) and I've noticed that the software often seems stuck on returning you to the originally plotted route when you deviate from it, instead of finding the best remaining route based on the new location. I'll give details for my particular trip in case this is a local issue.
    We decided to take the NJ Turnpike to route 18 to River Road to Interstate 287 instead of 295 to 206 to 287 as Nokia Drive recommended (the routes are roughly equivalent in travel time, so I don't fault this initial route selection). When we entered the Turnpike, the new route kept trying to get us to 295 until we passed Exit 7 (In reality, past Exit 5 there isa considerable penalty to getting off the turnpike and onto I 295).
    Finally, after Exit 7 it decided we should stay on the turnpike and get to 287 directly using Exit 10 (This too is roughly equivalent in travel time, so it was a reasonable suggestion). Once we took Exit 9 to route 18 instead it picked a different route than the one we are familiar with and this is where the biggest problem occurred. The route it suggested would enter 287 North at Exit 7, while the route we took entered 287 at Exit 9. It kept insisting we get back on its rout and get on at exit 7 to the point that when we were about to enter 287 at exit 9, it told us to get onto 287 *south* and take it to exit 7 where we would exit the highway and immediately re-enter it northbound. This is rediculous and should never have been suggested.
    Am I right in my assessment that the software tries to stick to the original route instead of calculating a new one on the spot? What possible advantage can there be in doing it this way?
    Thanks in advance,
    Boris

    Here is a quite stupid example on route recalculation and how it tries to return to the route originally suggested. The recalculated route suggests that I turn right, drive a few meters and then make a U-turn. The error is not in map data itself. The other picture shows that turning left is not forbidden.
