No voice Guidance in Here Drive

An update to my earlier complaint of no voice guidance following the initial instruction at start of journey - Lumia 520.
I am not sure whether it was pure coincidence but I downloaded an update (Wifi and audio) then the following day tried once again to navigate with my 520 with no radio turned on. Full voice guidance was available for the first time since I bought the phone last November. However, as soon as I turned on the radio, the voice guidance was no longer there. Turn the radio off and the voice comes back.
Is there is Bluetooth incompatibility here I wonder. My Garmin sat nav works OK with the radio on even if I am using the phone via Bluetooth.
Comments please Nokia

Does this help?

Problem in voice guidance in navigation

Hi everybody on nokia forum.
I have a small navigation problem I have latest phone software (v20.0.012) and updated everything i can with PC Suite and I have Full Ireland & UK GPS function for 90-days with voice guidance but here is the problem
When I download maps it is ok, i download Latvian voice guidance go to mobile where you select your guidance voice language but there is no Latvian voice, I check if the voice is in mobile - it is and voice is working! but I cannot select the voice cause there is no Latvian voice from where i select the voice language.
I re downloaded voice about 100 times but it is the same. Even tried to delete everything and install all the maps and voice but the same..
and P.S. i bought the mobile in Northern Ireland
Can anybody please help me? Thanks!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

A small number of languages can't be selected offline, Baltic state languages are amongst them. All you need to do is let the Maps app go online briefly (Options>Tools>Go online in Maps 2.0) then do the selection of language. The phone will ask for permission to go online to update the database of languages, then do a search, and when you see the list of available languages, your Latvian will be one of a number of 'new entries'.

New Indian Turn by Turn Voice Guidance Maps with o...

Dear Friends,
MapmyIndia.com offers Sygic mobile maps (http://inav.mapmyindia.com/product/sygic/sygic_mobile_maps.html) claims to have intuitive design, easy to read as you drive, crystal-clear spoken voice instructions and route guidance with map coverage of 401 cities all over India. What is also claimed is MapmyIndia Sygic mobile maps, once installed, are stored on your phone/SD card. This means that you do not require a GPRS or data connection to get them working. What's more, there are no subscription or recurring charges. The one time cost is 55 US Dollars which would be a great saving as I often use the map while in Indian roads. This provides me a better option compared to Nokia Maps which I like but is expensive and Google Maps which doesnt yet come with turn by turn voice guidance for Sybian 5 platforms (only available in Android 2).
The customer care of MapmyIndia mentioned that it is totally compatible with my new Nokia N97. However, I would like to find out if any of you have used this service and if it affects the performance of the phone (speed, memory, crashing etc) in any way. How does Nokia looks at such third party alternatives?
Many thanks for your help and for sharing your experience.

Dear cjlim, Thanks for the input. Well, in terms of updated maps, the google can't be matched. However, Nokia map updates do not necessarily cover all the rapid changes thats taking place all over India. As per your suggestion I had a chat with the customer service rep of mapmyIndia and the response are as following which says the update is every six months and it could be downloaded free.
team_mapmyindia2 [3:09:09 PM]: Welcome to our real-time support chat. How can I help you today?
[3:09:16 PM]: good afternoon
N97 user [3:09:35 PM]: Hello-I am planning to buy the MapmyIndia Sygic mobile maps for Nokia N97
team_mapmyindia2 [3:09:47 PM]: May I know your name, contact no. and your current location to assist you better ………
N97 user [3:10:04 PM]: Could you please suggest how often I can download the latest maps and how much additional would the downloading maps would cost
[3:10:56 PM]: we update every 6 months.
[3:11:18 PM]: Is it free to download the updates?
team_mapmyindia2
[3:11:41 PM]: yes.
N97 user [3:11:55 PM]: Thanks for your help

N97 user [3:12:11 PM]: Yes, thats what I found from the web
team_mapmyindia2 [3:12:12 PM]: so when are you planning to buy?
N97 user [3:12:31 PM]: Do you get any report of Nokia phones crashing after loading the maps
team_mapmyindia2 [3:12:41 PM]: nope.
N97 user [3:12:48 PM]: Thanks

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:

Lumia 920... Backup maps, voice guidance, and apps

How can I backup apps and maps/voice guidance before a hard reset process?? Making backup copies of photos/vidoes is simple... But I have some 8 GB of apps/maps/voice guidance and I really need most of them... Is there any way to back these up?
Thanks in advance

not sure why you want to back those up.
after you reformat, you can just reinstall them very easily.
that is, if you are talking about the nokia maps/drive
if it is another 3rd party application, then you may want to specify

Here drive for iran

It is written that because of international laws and sanctions here drive plus is not available for Iran if so why is Nokia ovi maps voice guided navigation on Nokia Symbian devices available for Iran by the way there is no limitations for the companies to offer free software.please reply and do something for your customers in Iran we pay the same as other people all over the world for your products. Most of the people tend to buy them for navigation apps.
. Thanks in advance

[Feature request] Here Drive+ - possibility to cho...

It's one of the features that it lacks most. Righ now I need to open Here Maps. Long tap on location then choose navigate and select which app to use. It would be great if I could do the same in Here Drive+. Just long tap on a map and from context menu select "Navigate" or "Add to Favorites".
Second feature that should be one of a basics is to add waypoints on a route. For example I'm driving from Town A to Town B but I also have to pick up my friend from Town C which lies near the road to Town B. Righ now I have to start navigation from A to C then after I reach my destination I need to start it again from C to B. Instead of just set navigate me from A to B via C. I would like to prepare my route at home and then just launch Here Drive+ and drive. Right now after reachning my waypoint I have to find some place to park a car and set next point on a route.
Third and last feature would be adding radars and voice nottification to POI.

Hi R420R,
That's a good suggestions. You can try to suggest it here: http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions/category/18997-applications?quer...

E6 - Ovi Maps Voice guidance over BT Car Music Sys...

OK everyone has been screaming out a lot on this issue, I had the same problem while using E71 before while using the Ovi Maps. (Refer my earlier post)
/t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/No-Voice-Guidance-under-Bluetooth/m-p/665637#M21482
It seems Nokia have partly answered to this problem, but still there is big OPEN FAULT.
Got my Nokia E6 y'day and Tried the Map's Voice guidance while connected to my same Car System's BT (Blaupunk Hamburg MP68 - refer my earlier post ), here are the changes I noticed.
1) While playing music through CD/USB, Nokia E6 gives out Voice guidance while navigating through its "own" LoudSpeaker. THIS IS A GOOD CORRECTION to the previously noticed problem and the guidance is not lost.
2) Now comes the issue. While navigating, when there is a incoming or outgoing phone call, music stops and the phone voice conversation are routed to the BT music system properly (This is something the basic functionaly and it works as it as properly). But the Voice guidance is totally lost in this scenario!!! THERE IS NO VOICE GUIDANCE EITHER ON THE PHONE'S OWN LOUDSPEAKER OR THE BT MUSIC SYSTEM.
Nokia, expecting u to fix this bug sooner...
A Nokia Loyalist :-)

Looks like this fault will stay for ever...
Here's reply from Nokia Careline when complained this problem.
======
Thank you for contacting Nokia Careline.
We understand that Voice guidance of your Nokia E6 Ovi Maps gets lost when there is an incoming or outgoing phone call.
We value the importance of your feedback and we are here to assist you.
In response to your email, we would inform you that we can not comment on compatibility of Nokia E6-00 with non Nokia device (in this case, Blaupunkt Hamburg MP68). However, we have taken this as a valuable feedback and we have forwarded the same to the Consumer Feedback Division for their due consideration.

N97 mini voice guidance doesn't always work

I have just upgraded to a N97 Mini with the free voice guidance.
I am finding that the voice guidance will only work sometimes. This happens with both drive and walk guidance.
Is there a setting I am missing of have I not activated something.
Cheers
John

Can you elaborate, what you mean by 'sometimes'..???
The voice guidence will prompt you only when you have to take a turn (i.e. when your set rout is diverting from the main course...) or some destination is nearing..
What I have experienced sometimes is it depends on your speed too.. meaning if you are at a higher speed approaching the turn, the prompt will be at relatively earlier place (say 500meters away from the turn) than being at a slower speed..(where the prompt may be when you are 300 meters away..)

Here Drive (navigation) problem

I'm from Sri Lanka. and I'm using Lumia 925. With my all symbian phones(N8, X6), the drive app works perfectly with voice, but in Lumia its not. When I click drive it, it says Your route runs through a country where navigation is not support. I downloded Sri Lankan map and its up to date. So is it mean with Lumia we cannot use here drive ?

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...

Problem with HERE drive on Lumia 720 in India

I had the preinstalled HERE drive app on my Lumia which was working fine. Yesterday store was showing updates and it also had an update for HERE drive. When I updated it through WiFi the app didn't open and kept returning to home screen. This is really irritating because before the update app was working fine but now after the update it isn't working and also after uninstalling it and trying to reinstall its not published on the store. Please Nokia sort this issue out as its very irritating and hassling. At least make previous app available or clear this mess.

No Voice Guidance under Bluetooth

The "No Voice Guidance under Bluetooth" problem seems to be well documented on this board as well as elsewhere on the web, and can be sumarize like this:
In-Car bluetooth connections that work fine for phonecalls will not relay voice directions from Maps, and the phone itself stays mute. In effect, no voice directions are heard at all.
The reason seems clear as well: The bluetooth standard allows for several different kinds of sound-streams for priority purposes etc. Most In-Car bluetooth devices however (including several NOKIA-ones), accept only actual phonecalls. Hence, all oher sound is muted while connected to the car.
The rather obvious solution would be to have a setup-item in Ovi-Maps that forces all sound from the program to use the phones integrated speakers instead of an operative Bluetooth connection. (Use Bluetooth connection for Voice directions On/Off).
However, over all the posts, NO NOKIA STAFF have responded to aknowledge the problem or comment on it's possible solution or workaround. (And I have not found any third party app that adresses the issue.)
One might speculate that the reason would be the design of the operating system, choosing to handle all sound in a similar way, which undoubtedly is a good thing ... in most cases, but in this case dissalows usage of the free navigation in the one situation it is of the highest value - IN THE CAR.
NOW - as FREE NAVIGATION becomes a major selling point and the aplication can't work in a modern car while maintaining legal phone connectivity, NOKIA needs to accept this reality, and make Ovi-maps useable for these users as well - even if that means defying a design principle. An actual response from someone informed, would be greatly appreciated.
For reference, I use version 3.03 10wk01 b05 of Ovi-maps on my NOKIA N97 mini with a factory fitted Alfa Romeo "Blue&Me" bluetooth kit, developed by Microsoft Automotive.

I don't have this issue. But then I don't have a BT system built-in to the car.
What I do have is a Sony BT Radio / CD / AUX which I fitted myself.
The Sony has 2 "channels" for BT input - "Music" and "Phone". I can connect my N97 using both of these channels,or only one. The SatNav function on the phone uses the Music channel, and the phone uses the Phone channel.
I also have an Archos 5 IT, which has GPS and BT. So I can connect my Archos for the Satnav, and the N97 for the phone, and the radio controls which output is muted, at the touch of one button.
I mention this to show that the Nokia N97 has all the technology and flexibility to perform all these functions perfectly, co-operating fully with other devices.
Can you say the same for the devices fitted in your cars? How long ago were these devices fitted? How long ago did you buy these cars? When was the firmware last updated? What standards did the in-car devices conform to in the first place.
Just a thought.

Lumia 520 cant install HERE DRIVE...

When i click HERE DRIVE it link to store and the Apps show ! This app is not available for your device. Tab for more info.

As previously answered on this forum hundreds of times in the last few days, an update for Here Drive + was released a recently. Unfortunately there was a problem with the update and it has been temporarily pulled pending a fix.

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.

Clearly Nokia doesn't want this to be Nokia helpdesk, but I would be very surprised if they didn't read this discussion both to learn of problems and to hear what features people long for.
