Nokia Drive+ Beta for Lumia 920 - WP8

Hi,
I have some questions regarding the use of Nokia Drive (sorry, I came back to WP after several years on Android so too used to using Google Maps).
My questions are:
1. Is there a way to route around what the 'default' route comes up with? For example, I do not want to drive through NYC and would rather drive around it using specific highways that I'm used to using. I know it's further, but it avoid GW Bridge which can be several hours in traffic if not timed properly.
2. Is there any website where I can plan/setup the various trips/routes and then just have it sync back to the phone (this is typically what I do with all my Google's map usage).
Thanks.

I "try" google maps offline on my Galaxy S 2 and Galaxy Nexus regularly when i am abroad, just as a backup to my N9 which I use as my main navigation device. First problem with google maps is the map data. You can only download a few tiles. The search function and routing dont work very well offline either. Of course there are better paid options but Nokia Maps isn't all that bad for a free solution. The avtual Nokia Maps package is better then the current experience with Maps on the Lumia devices. This is because WP is a new OS for Nokia and they had to start Maps from scratch for this OS and they are still.playing catchup. I was fortunate enough to have a chat with a member of the Lumia Maps team who promised me that the intention is for users to have the same nav experience as other Nokia devices. With the latest beta iteration, they are almost there. Hope they will be there with the final release.

Drive beta cause lumia 920 to hang and get hot to ...

I recently downloaded drive beta to get me to the Fenway ballpark in Boston. The stopped navigating. I had to stop the app and restart many times. Hung on navigation. Left open on last attempt to see if it would figure things out. It ended up getting hot enough to almost burn my hand. Did someone forget to test this on a real handset?

Unfortunately with ATT firmware there do appear to be some anomalies.

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 soft gel cases for Lumia 920

When is the Nokia soft gel case for Lumia 920 going to come out? The ones that came out for the Lumia 900 (Soft Cover CC-1037) are excellent. They are thin but provided excellent protection. The non-Nokia ones available on eBay or Amazon are thicker.

Sadly Nokia has yet to show or even announce any official cases for the Lumia 920. All we can really do is wait and see as they won't confirm anything about them through this forum. I've purchased a nice think black hard case from ebay for now.

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 Traffic rerouting option not app...

Hi
I have a Lumia 920 with Nokia Drive+ Beta. Ive been told that it has traffic rerouting but dont see any traffic options in there. Ive looked through all the menus, including route settings and route optimisation but no traffic related options.
I live in reading, UK and travel towards and around London a lot so this would be very useful. Is it just not supported in London yet?

Hi,
Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing the application? Try to check as well if the application is updated. You may also take a look for related information here.

Why no stereo recording for Lumia 920 ?

i have read at Nokia developers website that Lumia 920 have 3 High Dynamic Range Microphones. But during video recording , it does only mono recording despite of having 3 microphones (all knows stereo recording is better than mono) whereas the newly launched Lumia1020 does stereo recording and have only 2 High Dynamic Range Microphones...
My question is : Why no stereo recording in Lumia 92x pureview devices ? or is it coming in future updates(or amber update have it?) .
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The notion stereo recording is better is a false one. As the spacing for mics on the 920 is limited resoring in stereo is more a gimmick really. You would probably get similar results if you ran your recordings through a decent audio editor with a plugin creating a stereo illusion with reverb processing.

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.

Nokia Drive+ Beta maps - please make East Street i...

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!

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.
