Here Drive+ Beta & My Commute

has there been any status on this? When will My Commute be avaible for Lumia 920 owners

I am in the USA. I bought my Lumia 920 through AT&T. I can confirm that my phone also has Nokia Drive+ beta (version 2.x) installed, and that is all that is available through the Store. Using the link provided in the QR code in the article, I was able to pull up the Store download page for Nokia Drive 3.0, but instead of an Install button, it has an exclamation mark with "This app uses features your phone doesn't have. Learn more." When tapping on that, it says "App not compatible... App only supports the following resolutions: - WVGA (480x800)."
So does this mean that people who bought the cheaper, and less capable phone get the newer version of Drive, while the flagship phone has the version that (a) drains the battery in no time flat, even with the charging cable plugged in while driving and (b) does not have a traffic feed so that it can route more intelligently? In Washington, DC, traffic capital of the US, this is truly a travesty that I can only hope will be fixed soon.

HERE Drive Beta with Traffic updates Lumia 920

Why can't i use Traffic updates in the HERE Drive + Beta..?? How can see the traffic info while using the navigation on my Lumia 920..?? i had this with my Nokia N8...

I recently got the update to Here Drive+ Beta and now have Here Drive+ with My Commutes. I think the possiblities are fantastic with the My Commutes feature but so far in the Dallas, TX area whenever I start My Commutes is always says "Couldn't update traffic" I have uninstalled and reinstalled the application but it will not show me any traffic updates during my communte.
I recently discovered that if I put the app in 2d mode it will show me traffic updates but as soon as I start My Commutes the traffic information disappears.
Is anyone else experiencing this same issue?

HERE Drive + Beta constantly crashes after upgrade...

After i upgraded to Here Drive + Beta on my Lumia 920, the app constantly crashes when i start it!
I have tried to restart the phone, uninstall the app, and reinstall....but it still crashes! The other Here-apps is ok, and works fine!
Didn't anyone at Nokia tested this properly before releasing the upgrade!!!???
I hope you guys at Nokia have an upgrade to fix this problem quickly because one of the main reasons that i bought a Nokia again was the Maps and Drive function with offline maps!!

Update!
Today i reset my Lumia 920 back to factory settings, and for a short while.... the Here Drive worked all fine....
But suddenly... the error came back, and Here Drive was starting to crash again!
And by the way... restoring the phone is a pretty big job!
Especially when this happens also:

Here Drive+ Beta & Here Maps do not activate on my...

Hi,
I have installed Here Drive + Beta and Here Maps on my Nokia 620, when I click on them to activate they just return to the app list. I have un-installed and re-installed several times over various days and it still does not load. Important to note, Here Transit and other navigation apps work but not Here Drive + Beta and Here Maps! It's very frustrating, can anyone suggest what's going on?
Thank you

In the end I gave up and proceeded to do a hard re-set back to initial factory settings – low and behold it now works fine, although I haven’t fully tested it on the road.

New Lumia 920 with Here Drive+Beta - no connection...

Hi!
I have two Lumias - 800 for my private use and brand new 920 for my business use. 800 has WP7.8 installed and Nokia Drive works flawlessly and I can download any maps I want.
But not so with 920 with WP8 and Here Drive+ Beta: phone informs all the time that there is no connection with map server - check your WiFi connection. But WiFi is working Ok with full speed - I have web pages like this opened without problems (data connection disabled for to be sure WiFi is functional).
Same message appears when I'm trying to download maps through Here Maps. My country, Finland, is of course in the list and as I said before, Nokia Drive works with Lumia 800 and maps can be downloaded.
What could be the problem? Location, GPS works, WiFi works. Nokia account active, WindowsLiveId active. Are map servers for Here Drive+Beta really out of operation right now?
Solved!

OK, everything is working now. Just waited 8 hrs and servers are up again. Problem solved. Odd although that my Lumia 800 was working at the same time.

Here drive and no commute function

i have just bought at nokia 520 specifically for nokia drive and commute function, very dissapointed to see nokia drive isn't there it is now "here drive" and has lost the commute function.
does anyone know if when "here drive" is out of beta the communte function will be added?
my store have no idea, I cant find any info on the net and nokia's auto phone switchboard just keep cutting me off so I cant ask the question! I'm about ready to give up on it and get a refund agggghhhhhh

I bought a Nokia Lumia 520 and bought the global navigation license / HERE Drive+ yesterday from within the HERE DRIVE app.
The funny thing is I can't find My Commute either among the other options listed such as SET DESTINATION, FAVORIITES, SAVE LOCATION, etc.
http://www.wpxbox.com/whats-new-in-here-drive/
Anyone know why this is the case and how I can make My Commute appear as one of the options? Thanks in advance.

Where does My Commutein HERE Drive get traffic info?
Traffic info comes from many sources:
Incident reports: ’Incidents’ can be anything from jams on motorways to planned roadworks. The reports often come from local authorities, such as the police or a traffic management agency.
Traffic sensors: Many metropolitan areas have traffic flow sensors that measure the current average speeds on motorways and major roads.
People like you: Incident reports are timely, but sensors focus mainly on major motorways. So we also rely on the wisdom of local people to help us get a picture of the traffic situation throughout the city. People who use HERE Drive or HERE Drive+ can also help by providing anonymous info about their current travel speed.
Historic info: If sensors aren’t giving us enough info, we can make relatively good assumptions about current traffic speeds based on historic info. Many city streets have very regular patterns, such as a traffic jam most mornings and fast-flowing traffic at night.
Modelling: In many cases, it’s possible to infer the overall traffic situation from partial info. If there’s a heavy jam on a major road, for example, the adjoining side roads are probably also crowded.

Here Drive + Beta (Navigation region issue)

Hi all.
Well, long story short , i had a Lumia 800 until march and recently bought a Lumia 920, so i gave the 800 to my sister, till now all is good except for the shocking news i discovered yesterday when tried to navigate to a destination and here drive told me politely that navigation isn't available for my country, but on the 800 i used Nokia drive not once and this was a big + for me when i chose nokia over others.
Well i live in Moldova, the map provided by Navteq is awfull, it has only the national and international roads( and some POI's) and this is all, and by the way city names are often incorrect written, but it was a lot easier to navigate from one region to another without getting lost, so i don't know who at Nokia had that "genius" idea to remove Moldova from the list of allowed countries for navigation but it was a bad move, so please update the list and on another note update the map too .
Good luck all ...

Hi Sparxx,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
Are you using Nokia Drive or Here Drive Plus Beta? Here Drive Plus Beta, if not yet pre-installed, can be downloaded from the Store.
Here Drive Plus Beta, provides you with voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation in all supported countries across the globe. For the list of navigable countries, see this link:

Planning a route for HERE Maps/Drive+ Beta

I would like to plan a route with multiple route points in advance and save the planned route to HERE Maps or HERE Drive+ Beta. Is that possible?
The route can be made with here.com webpage, but is it possible to import a route to my Lumia 920? When the route is saved to a collection in my nokia account, it is not shown in the mobile phone.
Phone: Lumia 920
Software: The newest
Solved!

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 Drive not working in Nigeria

Hi 4dipo,
Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
That's odd. As mentioned above, Lumia 920 supports Here Drive Beta Plus has a global license which enables you to use the service in any supported navigable countries. The error message you posted is usually seen with Here Drive. The error message is seen if either the start or end point of your navigation is in a country where Nokia does not support turn-by-turn navigation.
Can you provide us a screenshot of your Here Drive app settings? Under the Here Drive Beta Plus app, tap on the icon at the bottom right portion of the screen. Scroll until you find Settings and then locate the Navigation license on the list.

HUD display for Here Drive...

Garmin has announced a HUD for it's NAVGON applications:
https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the-road/apps/head-up-display-hud-/prod134348.html?utm_source=gar...
It would be TREMENDOUS if we could do something like this with our Lumias.. Even if it were an 'alternate' (i.e. mirrored) display whereby if we mounted the phone on the dash, it would reflect onto the windsheild in readable format.
A BT-enabled projector would be even better....

Hi everyone!
We are aware of this concern and currently working on this. Here's the official statement regarding the availability of Here Drive, Here Drive + and Here Transit on the Store:
"We are updating HERE Drive, HERE Drive+ and HERE Transit with new features like traffic information, My Commute and a much more intuitive UI. In some cases, the update process failed and we are working on a solution right now. HERE Drive, HERE Drive+ and HERE Transit will be available again for download soon."
For official updates on this, you can check our website or follow @Nokiahelps and @heremaps on Twitter.

Feature requests: Getting Here Drive to a baseline...

OK, Here Drive works reasonably well and stable with the feature set it has, but it still has a long way to go, just to be close to par with e.g. my Garmin Nuvi 350 bought 7 years ago, or even an old app like Mapopolis for Windows Mobile, also available 5-6 years ago (but now gone broke)... Is it possible to soon get at least get to a baseline that makes it usable also for longer international travel, e.g. going on summer vacation across Europe vs. just being useful for some local travel? This would require:
Search by categories of POIs rather than having to know it by name, e.g. find nearest hotels, gas station or place to eat (restaurants not even available today in the map overlays!) - sorted by distance
Find POIs along the route, e.g. within 2km of route rather than based on current location, again to know when you will pass e.g. the next gas station (super critical when driving on vacation across Europe)
At least 1 via point, so you can plan a stop over and still know your arrival at final destination.
Planning mode for routing by setting both a start and destination rather than all routes calculated must be from current position
Telling whether destination is on left or right side of road
That would bring Here Drive to at least the entry level of the cheapest dedicated navigation systems. Some additional features that would move it a little up the stack ranking includes:
Traffic information displayed and taken into account for route suggested (for a mobile unit with data traffic capability I would actually consider this a base requirement to just be minimally competitive with the cheapest navigation systems)
Speed camera alerts
Multiple via points
Offline planning of full route and save/import of routes
Street names spoken in more languages
Lane assist
Narrowing searches by country, city name or postal code
Voice recognition for some of the basic commands while traveling, e.g. nearest gas station
Finally - would it be possible to get the Danish speech updated? It's horribly incorrect from a grammatical perspective (sometimes bordering embarrassing) and the voice used is also not very good - it's a bit strained and shouting, rather than a calm soothing voice.
I hope some of this can be prioritized - that would allow be to finally get to just ONE device for everything in the car - music, navigating and obviously calling.
Sincerely,
Allan Hvass

Funny - after my testing out of Nokia Drive+ and realizing all the limitations listed compared to an OLD Garmin Nuvi AND no glimmer of hope or response for a month, I actually went out and bought a Nuvi 3490 instead. I'm currently not using my Nokia Drive for any navigation...
I could see myself start using it again if some of the features, incl. traffic information being part of routing decisions making it's way back. But for long haul navigation, everything needs to be there, and still the Nuvi 3490 wins hands down. And since that is now already paid for also with life time updates to maps and traffic info, it now requires a signficantly BETTER navigation app to bring me back.
One thing I would like to see though that will make Nokia my most used daily navigation tool is the Nokia Commute app for Copenhagen area. That apps approach for short haul routine routing is really attractive.
I originally went for the Nokia Lumia series over competing WP8 vendors due to the strong software add-ons with the mapping functionality being a key factor. There's still many other elemeents that just make Nokia a bit better, but the one I thought was the biggest turned out to not be enough, and that has now put aside as I got a better navigation system than any phone can currently offer - thus making the playing field a little bit more level across WP vendors. Nokia needs to work MUCH harder and faster, if they want to differentiate themselves on mapping / navigaiton. Granted there's other areas like photo quality, social apps, build quality, accessories, etc. I would like to put Nokia Music in there as well, but that has never launched in Denmark after 3 years...

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 DRIVE: MUST HAVE FIXES

Hey there,
This is my first post. I have loved my Lumia 920, but consistent issues with the Drive app has led me to post this.
Here are some things that NEED to change.
The upcoming road/highway is listed at the top of the screen. HOWEVER, it does not say what DIRECTION (E,W, N, S) you will take. This is crazy. I can't count how many times I've missed an exit because I couldn't get over in time.
Ability to view list of upcoming turns. Google supports this...come on...
The re-routing is horrible. I've had times it would try to take the same route over and over again, even after I had driven an alternate (proven) route for several miles.
Random gaps in the middle of the highway. Not sure what is going on here, but the directions will have small sections of gaps on the same road. Very annoying.
I really hope someone from Nokia gets this message. Number 1 should be the easiest to fix, and is ESSENTIAL.
Best,
Lee

Beta versions of Nokia Maps (for Symbian) used to be tried and discussed in Betalabs. Strange that Here Drive+ is not there.

Here Drive + Algorithm Problems?

I want to start this post with some praise for Here Drive +. Ten years ago, it would have cost €300. Now it comes for free with a Nokia Lumia, and in most cases does a better job than the old SatNav. But I have my doubts about its shortest route algorithm.
Yesterday I set off for a destination which was only about 5 miles away, but I'd never been there before and there is a maze of backroads around it. So I saved it in Here Maps and used Here Drive + to navigate there. Around halfway there I started to recognise some of the roads, and reckoned I was taking the long way around. It took me 5.2 miles to get to my destination. On the way back, I ran Here Drive but took my own route. Just as my route diverged from the Here Drive route, my estimated time of arrival was 19:03. A few seconds later, after it had recalculated for the new route, my time of arrival was 19:02. To get to the parking space I had originally left took me 4.9 miles on the way back.
I always keep Here Drive + set to 'Faster Route', but from my example above, it's not finding either the shorter or faster route. At least, not consistently. And yes, obviously 0.3 miles and 1 minute is no big deal. But if it's not getting the shortest/fastest route over a five-mile drive where available routes are limited, then it's certainly not getting it for the longer drives where options are multiplied.

If Here is anything like Nokia Drive, it has the worst routing algorithms out there. Count yourself lucky if it didn't have you going in circles, as Drive frequently attempts to make me do. There is simply no way that this is even a passable substitute for a stand-alone GPS.

Here Drive + freezes on Lumia 1020

Hi. I have a Lumia 1020. Version 4.0 of Here Drive + is unusable since it freezes periodically. Versions 3.0X on my 920 are ok. I,have tried to disable traffic info, map info, nothing works.

Hi, ewgoforth.
Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
Are you only experiencing this issue when using HERE Drive+ app? How about another HERE apps or any app that you have on the phone? What exactly are you doing on the phone before it freezes? You can try un-installing the app and then install it back as a basic troubleshooting. This can also help us further isolate the issue.
Thank you for reachin out to us about this. We appreciate it a lot as product quality and customer satisfaction are really important for us. Products like HERE Drive evolve over lifetime and we work hard to bring new features, functions and fixes to make HERE Drive even better. For this, your feedback is essential.
We hope to hear from you soon.
