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

Go to Solution.

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?

Yes. To use HERE Drive offline, tap Settings and choose Connection. You can then toggle between offline and online.
Search results might be limited in offline mode. To be able to navigate offline, you need to download a map to your phone.
What is the difference between HERE Maps and HERE Drive?
HERE Drive is an application for voice-guided turn-by-turn driving navigation. HERE Maps is a map application which shows your current position and interesting places around you. You can also plan routes in HERE Maps but the app will launch HERE Drive for turn-by-turn navigation
What's the difference between HERE Drive and HERE Drive+?
HERE Drive offers turn-by-turn navigation in a single country or area, depending on the country of your SIM. Worldwide navigation is possible by purchasing an upgrade.
HERE Drive+ is a premium app that comes with worldwide turn-by-turn navigation from the start. You can use it with or without a SIM.

If you're having trouble getting a route:
Make sure the date, time and time zone on your phone are set properly.
Check that you've got a data connection.
A point in your route might be in a region where no transport info is available.
The route is too long. HERE Transit is designed for use with local city public transport, not national or international transport.
Can I save routes in HERE Transit?
You can pin a journey from your current location as a tile to your Windows Phone start screen.
Select the options icon at the bottom of the screen, and then the pin icon.

Any plans to bring HERE maps/drive+ to android?

Hey guys
Does any1 know about bringing HERE maps/drive+ do android? It was avaliable early this year in the amazon store to download, but now there are no news anymore.
Hope nokia/MS will bring the app(s) to android - the community is huge and I think there would be many of them who will pay for this app.

Features missing in translation in Here maps/drive

I just came home from a road trip from sweden to kroatia. Through the trip I used my lumia 920 for maps and navigations. I have done similar trips with my Nokia N8 (symbian belle) before.
Sadly the old N8 did a better job. Don't get me wrong, the lumia also did a good job but there where a few missing features that were really annoying.
* Major miss: Here maps/drive cannot check alternative routes. This works on symbian, wehere you can add waypoints along the wanted route.
* Major miss: When on location I want to check for restaurants only or perhaps hotells only etc. Impossible in the Here maps/drive. I could only use the "places" function, that is utterly useless. I am not interrested in shops when looking to a place to eat, neither am I interested in police or hospitals when I looking for a place to sleep.etc. I could of course use the "search" but then I need to now the name of the restaurant and when I am in a new town this is not possible.
In Symbian you could show all available locations in a specific category that were within the maps zoom range.
Example hotel category, bank category etc.
* Minor miss: the setting for which kind of roads that Here Drive are allowed to use (toll roads, ferries, ...) is only avalible when selecting a place in Hera maps and the -> directions. This setting is not even available in Here Drive!! The app that actally needs it! You cannot reach this setting from the normal "settings" menu in either of Maps or Drive
Minor miss: Why two apps? Merge them
Minor miss: Option to always show specific categories on the map without needing to search for them.
Verrrry minor: Bring "Own voice" to windows phone. This is not usefull at all but extremly amusing. Especially when the kids have spoken all the messages.
Btw.. All mentioned missing features were available on the Nokia N8 but went missing when "upgrading" to a Lumia 920.

There is a feedback option in the application. You can utilize that to send information on what you think should be improved in the application.
The missing features from Symbian has been feedbacked in over one and a half year, with no result at all.

How to plot route or change route on HERE Maps on ...

My Nokia Lumia came with HERE Maps. I have the latest update.
So I decided I'd get directions to some place and HERE maps gave me those directions. Not bad.
Upon closer inspection, I realize the route given is not quite the one I wish to navigate so try changing it a little but.....there's no way to change the route?
Am I too stupid to figure this out (I hope this is indeed the case) or do I have to switch back to Google maps?
Thanks for your time.

There is no option to change the route manually at the moment. However, you can influence the route by changing the Route Optimisation settings. To do this, after specifying your destination and just before you tap the Start button, you will see a row of icons above the Start button. Tap this to change the settings.
Here Drive+ is still beta so things will still change before the final release. In the mean time, you can always use Google if it suits you better.

HERE maps and HERE drive for Universal app

Hi All,
Is Here Launcher supported in Win RT apps?
Our requirement is to show the following in the map both in phone as well as in tablet
1. user's location on the map with lat/long
2. multiple locations on the map with (lat/long collection)
3. directions on the map with (source lat/long, dest lat/long)
4. live traffic updates
5. show different types of pushpins on the map with (lat/long collection)
Right now I'm launching HERE maps and drive in phone using uri scheme, but it is not supporting point no. 2 and 5.
In Phone, is there any other way to launch HERE maps/drive other than uri scheme?
I'm not able to find HERE drive in windows store, is it not available yet?
In Phone, is it possible to go the HERE maps directly without hitting HERE splash screen? I know we are launching another application so we dont have control over splash screen, but is there any way to accomplish this?
Regards, Sivaraman

Hi Sivaraman,
>>Is Here Launcher supported in Win RT apps?
Based on the official
HERE Launchers API document, it looks like Here Launcher is not supported in Store app.
>>In Phone, is there any other way to launch HERE maps/drive other than uri scheme?
As far as I know, HERE Launchers API and Uri Schemes are the only way.
Quote from:
http://developer.nokia.com/resources/library/Lumia/change-history/archived-content/maps-and-navigation/here-launchers.html
The services provided by the HERE applications can be used in two ways:
1.By utilising the HERE Launchers API provided, or
2.by utilising the Uri Schemes implemented in HERE applications.
The related thread:

>>I'm not able to find HERE drive in windows store, is it not available yet?
Yes, I can only see Here Maps in Windows Store now, so I think it is not available yet.
>>In Phone, is it possible to go the HERE maps directly without hitting HERE splash screen?
I don't find any explanations to talk about this in the above API documents, so I think it's not possible yet using official way.

WRT610N - Storage - Password access to router's mapped drive with XP Home

Is there a way to bypass the Linksys login screen when clicking on the router's mapped drive in XP Home?

We might have two things being discussed here - 1) changing a password to a existing storage account and 2) the problem of windows storing the user/password for a mapped drive after a reboot.
I'm struggling with with windows storing the user /password for my mapped drive (the external hardrive plugged into the router's USB). If I can't figure this out...I might as well return the router?! I have the "reconnect button" checked and "connect using a different user name" filled out properly. So what's the deal? Maybe someone from Linksys should address this problem. It may seem trivial to login every time but it ruins the way iTunes works and I'm guessing other music/photo software applications. If itunes can't "see" the drive at login it deafults to your "My Document/My Music" directory so everytime you have to manual re-point the library. I hope I'm clear. Linksys please help!

Would you pay for Symbian Map Update?

-Yes i would invest up to 50Euro for a update!

As farby, I too have moved from Symbian. But, my old C6-01 is not dead at all, it's just dormant
As I have stated on this forum on several occasions on the past, I do miss some important features on HERE Drive on my Lumia 925. Despite the larger screen of the 925, despite the ease of use of HERE Maps & Drive on a Lumia, still the last version Nokia Maps & Drive available for Nokia Belle is way better when it comes to real world functionallity. For instance, If I want to take a trip to a foreign country, I'll definetely take my old C6-01 along. Multiple waypoints, ability to sync routes with HERE.com are features a traveller just cant live without.
So, I would probabily pay for an update of Symbian Map database. Just not sure if I'd pay 50 Euros for that...
Cheers.

Program running under UAC prompt hides mapped drives

I have a user on Windows 7 with a non-admin account who runs a program that pops up the UAC. She clicks yes and the program runs. However, since the UAC was involved, it is running with a different token than what she logged into the computer with.
This means that the program doesn't see her mapped drives when doing a File | Open. She has to navigate to the data folder on the server via Network. Needless to say this is cumbersome and inefficient.
What can I do so that the program sees her mapped drives? I don't know of a way to get rid of the UAC except to turn off UAC which I do not want to do.

Hi Jonathan,

Running Your App with Administrator Privileges
There are times that you may need administrator privileges for an application. You may write code that directly interacts with a piece of hardware or an app that sets machine-wide settings in HKLM. When possible, you should design your apps to limit the
need for admin privileges to narrow sections of code, or communicate to an application started with full administrator privileges. Aside from MSI-based elevation, there are two ways to create processes with a user's full administrator token. The Application
Information Service (AIS) will check during process creation and during the creation of a COM object using the CoCreateAsAdmin moniker to see if the
binaries require administrator privilege. It is important to note that the elevation occurs at the time of process creation. The process token never has privileges or group membership added during run time, only when it is
created.

HERE maps address search

Hi,
I have a lumia 620 and I'm experiencing the following problem since I bought the phone 1 year ago; the problem was not fixed by updates; I searched the forum and didn't find anything similar.
When I search for an address in HERE maps in offline mode (sometimes I'm also in flight mode, cellular off), after a couple of seconds that the search is ongoing I get a message dialog like "This may be taking a while..." so I press ok and the search stops. I have to repeat the search 2 or 3 times to finally get the results. It's like there is a timeout on the time the search takes, but a delay of some seconds is reasonable for such a big db search.
Same problem shows up in HERE drive+, especially if the address being searched is a remote street in a small town: I get the message "address not found search offline" or something similar then I press the search offline button and I get no results the same. As in the other case I have to repeat the search more times to get some results. This is very frustrating because it can happen that I don't know if the address is wrong or the search is broken, so I waste a lot of time repeating the search in the hope that something comes up (while I'm in the middle of the street). Is anyone experiencing the same problem ?
Thanks

hi, thanks for your reply.
yes I have downloaded maps for both Italy and UK. I'm a tech enthusiast so everything is updated
I have HERE maps, drive+ (I've read this is a premium app but I didn't pay for it ?), transit and city lens installed. Location is working even though sometimes I perform searches with location off but there is no difference in behaviour.
When I'll have some spare time, I'm gonna write down the steps to recreate the problem, but it happens almost every time I put an address. Don't you have the same problem ?
A way to minimize the problem is to wait sometime before hitting enter because the search is performed while you type...

GPO Drive mapping - drive not visible but mapped

Did you double check your policy and make sure you selected "Show this drive" for that mapped drive?

HiI've got a weird issue and Internet has yet to give me a solution.So I've created a GPO that maps drives to certain users inOU's.Users that do not yet have a profile ona workstation get the drive mapped as expected. But users that have previously logged on to the workstations do not see the drive.gpupdate /force does not seem to resolve the issue. I ran a gpresult /H result.html and saw that the GPO succeeded in applying the user settings. I checked the drive with "net use" and there I could see that the drive was mapped butjust not visible in Windows. The drive letter I'm using is not used by another device. The reconnect checkbox is ticked in the Drive Maps properties.When I type the drive letter in the addressbar in explorer ( N:\) it works flawlessly so it's not a permission issue.So to summarize: drive is accessible and mapped...

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.
