Home Location Nokia Drive +

Hello
I have recently purchased Nokia Lumia 925. How can i setup Home Location in Nokia Drive +.
Thanks
Pavan

There's no "home" setting in Here Drive, but you can rename a saved destination to "Home" and use it.
I guess the following articles will be helpful to understand here drive basics

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

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 3.0 unable to sync favorites

Is there a way to sync Drive3.0 Favorites to Nokia account? If not how can I transfer favourites from Nokia Maps ?

It might be me, but if Nokia maps is installed on my Lumia 800 and the favourites are synced and stored on my phone, I would have thought Nokia Maps & Nokia Drive (both by Nokia) apps could access these synced favourites, after all what is the point on having to enter every destination for 'drive' when it's already stored by you in the 'maps' app. This does to things: 1. Annoys people having to enter things twice. 2. Wastes storage space on the phone (even though it might only be a small ammount). Also Nokia maps on my C6 seems more accurate, as I live at number 9 and my C6 says either 11 or 13, but Nokia Drive says number 24. Which is on the other side of the street and 5 houses away. Even my Garmin says number 11. It's. A pitty that all Satnav units and apps could not allow the user to calibrate then to there exact position. E.G. while outside our home, use a calibration option and press cursors until it shows the exact location. From then on everything should be correctly displayed.

Nokia Drive fault - set destination crashing

Yesterday I tried to use the set destination function as usual but when pressing it, the phone returns to the home screen as is if I have pressed the windows home button. I am using a Nokia Lumia 800 with Windows 7.8 software. Can anyone help troubleshooting this? Turning it off and on again doesn't work...

Is the behavior the same with the other location-based apps you have installed on the phone? Are there apps running on the background aside from this?
If the behavior is only being observed on the phone Nokia Drive, we suggest uninstalling and then re-installing the app from Store.

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.

Home Location Problem in OVI MAP

Hi,
I have set the home location to a non-street point near a road to check if it can route to it. As this was not a valid street name so I choose my current location from map.
When I ask to go DRIVE HOME, it say no route found. I try to chane the HOME LOCATION, as soon as I click on HOME LOCATION, program crash.
Is there any other way to set HOME LOCATION ? or to reset MAPs setting only ?
Regards,
Zeeshan.

Well, what you can do is to go to Menu>Applications>Location>Landmarks, delete your Home location, recreate it and redefine.
If it still does not work, delete your the cities folder and qf files in your phone and memory card, then reopen the maps. You may lose all your locations in this way, so I suggest you write down all your favorites. Avoid restoration in this case.
In case the above does not work, delete the cities and qf files again, uninstall maps and reinstall.

Using Nokia Drive Offline

We've just bought two Lumias (920 & 620), our first Nokias since 2002, and have been delighted with them.
However, I have a concern about Nokia Drive. For a "free" App still in Beta it is excellent but it does seem unusable offline, being unable to find many major roads even in London. Allowing online search is essential to plan a route almost anywhere.
For home country use this is not an issue for most people who have data allowances in their contracts and PAYG top-ups but searching while roaming (and this is when you most often *really* need SatNav) could generate unwanted and unpredictable charges.
I'm travelling to Spain this summer and don't want to get to get stuck somewhere that has no network coverage. My questions are:
* Why is the offline data so poor (yet downloaded maps appear quite detailed)
* Will this problem be addressed any time soon
Might have to dust off the crabby old HTC Kaiser with TomTom this summer.

OK so I agree that you can get the basic street layout in airplane mode.
But I want to be able to get all the data - at very least the street names, and ideally landmark pins - which I don't currently get. Is there any way to control what level of detail is downloaded?

Editing Favourites in Nokia Drive 3.0

Can anyone please tell me how to edit favourites, i.e. How to delete or change name. As an example, when saving your position it seems that the name used on the favourite is taken from the map and if the map is not updated with the correct adress I need to change this (this is a fact with my home adress). Further more I cannot find avway to delete a saved favourie. Am I missing something here? As far as I can see nothing much new with this version of Nokia Drive.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just as the answer above.
To access the favourites, you first have to "Set destination" and from there choose the favourite list.
Also mind that the favourite list in Nokia Drive is totally separated from the favourite list in Nokia Maps...

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-and-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+ Beta: Stops navigating without warnin...

My Lumia 822 is rock solid and the Windows 8 Phone platform trumps my Android and BlackBerry experiences by far. That said, the Nokia Drive+ Beta app has providing some frustration, although I do expect some of that with a beta app. I connect to Bluetooth in in the vehicle, plug in a destination, set the phone in the console, and we're off to the races. Unfortunately, several times now, after receiving multiple prompts and heading into my trip, I will notice it has been longer than expected since I've received a voice prompt. I pick up the phone, only to find that the Drive+ app has ended navigation without warning and dropped back to the main screen where the app simply shows your location on the map, but is not actually navigating at all. Thankfully, I haven't gone too far out of my way yet, but I have missed a few exits and wasted some time.
Is anyone else experiencing this, and is there a fix in the works?

@pluciorx
Not feasible due to Microsoft OS restriction where only media or application .XAP can be placed upon memory card, whereas map data goes behind protected partition upon phone memory.

Network home location

I have my macbook air (10.6.7) bound to Active Directory. I have the Use UNC path from Active Directory to dervie network home location chosen, but my documents folder is not redirected to the smb share.

I've never tried this, but you may be able to use Carbon Copy Cloner (http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html) and backup everything to a USB/Firewire drive. Then put in your 500GB drives and restore the backup to the new drives. You then wouldn't have to create new sharepoints, everything would still be the same, just with more storage. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this though....

[Microsoft Store][Profile][Billing] How Do I Change Country/Residence for Microsoft Account? Editing Your Microsoft Account Profile for Microsoft Store. SOLVED: Change Home Location

Hello,
I am experiencing problems with using my Microsoft Account for billing and purchasing apps in Windows store.
I am using my old WLID that I've created several years ago, and I have obsolete information including my country residence there. Now when I go to
https://billing.microsoft.com, I see that I have 2 profiles:
Personal profile: US
Business profile: Russia.
Now the problem is that I want my personal profile be changed to Russia as well. Having US in the profile makes it impossible to make purchases from Microsoft Store because Store does not allow for changing country when making purchases via PayPal.
Currently I have this information:
I need the Country/Residence information to be changed to Russia. How do I do that?
I am stuck.
How do I change country for my Microsoft Account?
If it's not possible, would I be able to continue using my Microsoft Account with old residence/country information while making purchases through a new Microsoft account where I have specified my current residence?
Or is it the same as with Windows Phone 7:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2692008
If yes, do I understand that I have to start all my 'virtual living' from scratch to use Microsoft Store? In other words, do I have to sign-in into Windows 8 with a new Microsoft Account that will have Russia specified as a Country/Region to purchase apps
from Microsoft Store?
If yes, can I use this new account only for purchasing apps while continuing to use my old account or all purchased apps are strictly tied to this new Microsoft Account I will use for purchasing?
Thank you.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Hello,
Thanks to
this post @ Microsoft Answers, I was able to make Microsoft Store use correct information of my current country residence.
//The drawback in my case was that I lost the possibility to pay with Paypal, although Paypal supports payments in Russia, and, most importantly, I lost access to US marketplace, all comments/reviews are now in Russian. What a bummer! Honestly, I'd
like to have access to US store... Seems like the only workaround it to switch Home location for the time I purchase an app and change back when the app is purchased.
To change the Country/region data used for Payment and Billing in Microsoft Store,
Press WindowsKey+W to show Start screen and focus on searching in
Settings.
Type 'region' (without quotes) and open Region dialog box when found.
In the Region dialog switch to Location tab and change the country of choice in the
Home location drop-down list.
Click OK to apply changes and make them effective.
Open Store and press WindowsKey+I to show settings charms then choose
Your account.
In the Your account screen click Add payment method to configure your payment settings that will be used for purchasing apps from Windows Store.
Notice Country/region value has changed.
This country will be specified in Country/residence within Payment and Billing in Microsoft Store app.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

A lot of my music is on an external Hard Drive, currently "H" drive. When I try to play a song in the Library in Itunes I get the message that it can't find the music. Info says it's in a different location "G" Drive. But it's not. it's in "H" Drive.

A lot of my music is on an external Hard Drive, currently "H" drive. When I try to play a song in the Library in Itunes I get the message that it can't find the music. Info says it's in a different location "G" Drive. But it's not. it's in "H" Drive. How do I tell it where to go?

What if you take this same topic of an external hard drive with music but instead of directly attached to the computer the music is on a Network Attached hard drive(NAS)? Will I be able to add music to my ipod without any problem? Step that up a notch, will the two computers on my network be able to recognize the music on the NAS? Will the two users be able to create their own playlists and update their ipods independently? Now step up that up one more notch, will I be able to do this with one PC running XP and my macbook with OS X?
Before I run out and buy a NAS I want to be certain. I also would like to convert my DVD library in the future and put it on the network available to an AppleTV or other UpNp media player in the future, because I love having power at my finger tips.

Use UNC path from Active Directory to derive network home location

Good Morning
I am trying to get my Macbooks to conenct to a Windows Server 2003 home directory. I have followed the steps in the following article with no luck:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=serveradmin/10.4/en/c7od49.html
I can bind to the Microsoft Active Directory with no problems and I can connect to the file share on the server that I want to make the network home location, but I can't get it to work automatically as I would expect it to.
We will have hundreds of users connecting that will need their home folders redirected to the network folder location.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I forgot to mention that before upgrading to 10.8.4 the login item below was present:
Item: SMB://network path
Kind: Unknown
After the upgrade:
Item: Unknown
Kind: Unknown
After restart it disappears and never returns (again, this only occurs for admins)
