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!

  • 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.

  • Nokia Drive questions on Lumia 800.

    I bought a Lumia 800 over the weekend as my last phone was about to drive me around the twist. I've been very impressed with the Windows interface and the phone over all.
    One of the reasons I went for the Lumia was the Nokia Drive app. I work in field sales and travel the length a breadth of this country so I need a reliable sat nav. Previously I've used CoPilot live on an Android which worked well for me.
    This morning I did my first trip with the Nokia Drive app and it worked ok up until a point.
    I received a call, no problems answered fine through bluetooth not an issue. HOWEVER when the call ended the Nokia Drive app did not resume/return to main screen. instead I got the lock screen with a very garbled background image.
    Hoping the Nokia drive app was running in the background I kept driving but after a few turns it was planly clear that the app had closed. I therefore had to pull over to restart the app. Once I unlocked the screen the app did resume. I was just glad I was making a trip I was familiar with and testing the app functionality.
    I take/make a lot of calls while travelling I need a nav app that I do not have to re-setup everytime I hang up a call. Can this be addressed in Nokia drive or can someone suggest an alternative app to use instead?

  • Nokia Drive on Windows Phone- the future. What can...

    Hi Everyone,
    The question is obviously pointed towards Nokia representatives here, but we're all probably interested in, more or less. So:
    What can we expect from Nokia Drive (and Maps...) in future? Are we gonna be given back at least the basic functionality of what there was/is in Symbian Maps version?
    Precisely, I mean:
    - Destination selection basing on tapping the screen + FAVORITES
    - Route calculation customization (fast, short etc.)
    - Advanced planning, including multiple points on the route
    - POI handling in an up-to-date manner (menus and lists of POIs) 
    - ... integration with ovi.com web service
    I'm still hesitating between new Lumias and Android phones and, to be honest, Nokia Drive seems to be the deal breaker for me.
    Another reason for asking is that, while we have a lot of info about Nokia Drive 3.0 featuring live traffic and all the magic stuff, that info still doesn't say anything about re-introducting the very basic functions of navi system.
    I can imagine that maanny people think the same way and aren't happy with the navigation functionality drop with the WP introduction to Nokia.
    Thanks!
    Michael

    @jamiekt
    No reason to assume that they won't get updated 3 - 4 times a year as Nokia Maps upon Symbian OS devices do currently.

  • Nokia Drive offline

    Hi All,
    I'm using Nokia Drive on my N8 for the first time today, when I opened the application it asked me if I wanted Online or Offline mode. I chose Online. Now I realise that I should have chosen Offline, however it seems I can't change the setting in Nokia Drive now. There is no "Connection" option or similar in the Settings menu. How do I switch Nokia Drive to default to Offline mode now, or am I stuck with Online mode for ever? Thanks for any help!
    Note; moved post to separate thread as it was posted in wrong forum. Edited title to reflect new thread.

    Well, I have the latest version that's actually a suite of multiple apps... you set them up opening the "Maps" app, go to general settings, you'll find the online/offline setting there.
    That should affect the "Drive" App as well.
    hope this helps...
    cheers

  • 805a01f4 error with updating nokia drive

    Hello, I have bought a new windows 8 phone from Nokia. Every feature which is default with the phone is great and I have no issues with any of them. But when am trying to open the Windows Store to update Nokia drive, am getting the error code with the message "Error Code : 805a01f4 The Store is not available at the moment please try again." I tried to open it many times but all the time I get the same message. I havn't had any problems with every other application update, only with Nokia drive.
    If the microsoft has provided any fix in advance for this error, please let me know about it completely. Thank you.

    That's nor the issue neither the point: It's just the Drive+-app which is causing trouble to update; the other Apps & the store in general are working just fine.
    The point is that Nokia is making big fame on their website by stating that the Drive+-app is a major improvement over other smartphones as they off a complete SatNav-solution for free.
    Customers like me who have fallen for this, are being cheated, because in the end the App doesn't deliver & can't be updated.
    The errorcode doesn't seem to have anything to do with the store, just with the availability of the update. Strange however that we are been presented with the same 'general' error.
    Patience? When I just bought a brandnew car, I guess it won't be considered normal to return to the dealer with complains about the functionality of the steering wheel, & just get the answer: "Yeah, we know, have some patience, we will fix it in the near future. Perhaps...".

    There's no "home" setting in Here Drive, but you can rename a saved destination to "Home" and use it.

  • 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?

  • 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.

    Hi Ankit07,
    Thank you for your first post and welcome to the Nokia discussion forums.
    To answer your questions:
    1. The maps application are updated quite frequently throughout the year but I wouldn't be able to give you any specifics on the exact amount.
    2.  Again I wouldn't be able to give you an exact answer but when you do decide to download a specific map it tells you the size of the map data.
    3. Currently Nokia Drive has navigation maps for 90 countries although this is likely to change. Please keep an eye out for future updates.
    Thank you for your questions.

  • Nokia drive speed cameras

    I first used Nokia Drive in the UK and there it supported speed cameras.
    Now when I'm in Sweden there is no support for speed cameras.
    Will Nokia drive support speed cameras in Sweden?

    Hi Snubben,
    Thank you for your first post and welcome to the forums!
    The reason why you don't get speed camera alerts in some countries is because some do legislate against it and also it isn't a current feature in the Swedish region although you do receive warnings about speed limits even when not navigating.
    The information provided for "Traffic and Safety" availability is:
    Traffic info & Safety cameras: Austria, Belgium, Finland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, United Kingdom
    Traffic info only: Denmark, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Sweden
    Safety cameras only: Andorra, Northern Ireland, Poland, Romania, 
    We currently don't have any information whether this is feature is planned to be added or not.
    Also I have attached a link to the Swedish version of Drive with a user guide and current supported features:

    Nokia Drive+Beta maps, don't know that East Street in Bristol UK, is pedestrianised, until Dean Street junction
    Bing maps and Google maps know this - do a search.
    Please could Nokia maps be updated to reflect - Drive+ Beta keeps routing me down East Street
    Thanks guys

    Also David, it seems like you know of this particular traffic arrangement. Wouldn't it just be simpler to use that knowledge? I have a hard time using navigation in the city in which I live; I tend to actually know directions and routes better than it. But that, of course, is just me. All the best to you, mate!
