Quality of India map in Here Drive

Hi,
I just wanted to know the quality of the maps of Here Drive from users in India. I currently use a MapMyIndia device to navigate while driving. Are the Here Drive maps as detailed as the maps of MapMyIndia? In other words, once i buy the Nokia Lumia 820, will i be able to substitute my current navigation device with the Here Drive app of Nokia for regulat navigation.
More importantly, how often are the maps in Here Drive updaed? MapMyIndia updates it maps every 6 months.
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
Thank you for replying. Can you help me with answering the following additional questions:
1. Is there deep integration between Contact and Here Drive i.e. If i have the complete address of one of my business contacts in my phone book and i want to drive to that place, is there an option in the Contact card itself which does something to the efect of "Navigate to this address". In other words, if i have to drive to some contact's place, will i have to manually enter the destination or can it be picked up from the Contacts address details?
2. Is there deep integration between address mentioned in Calendar and Here Drive i.e.If i have the complete address of one of my business contacts in the body of an Calendar entry and i want to drive to that place, then can the address be picked up by Here Drive automatically.
3. If i use multiple applications simultaneously such as Navigation (Here Drive) and listening to music (Bluetooth connection - via the car's AUX system) and the phone rings, then do things work absolutely smooth and fine or are there problems of the phone hanging.
Thank you.

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.

>>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.

Nokia Lumina 630 ~ Navigation & Here Drive+ / Emai...

Hi
New to this and a bit of a newbi to Smartphones and Windows so hope someone can help this old Dinosaur! I had a Nokia N8 which had Ovi maps and navigation which was simple and easy to use. I really don't like the maps and Here Drive+ and wondered if I can put Ovi on my Lumina 630.
I also have a problem with my email account, which I hope you don't mind me posting this here too. My emails were coming through okay but now they don't and I really have no idea what to do. Thank you.

No, but create a new thread for each issue is the standard on Nokia Support Discussion. Actually, we are a solution based discussion board, every problem gets one solution. And therefore, we prefer two thread for two isolated issue.

Who is your E-mail service provider?
Do you get any error message or is the Inbox just not getting updated?
MysticSeaport wrote:

Because it is not possible to have the old Nokia Maps in Windows Phone, anything specific which does not work as intended? Perhaps we find a workaround together for that.

Hi there! Last week or so we upgraded my wife's Lumia 625 to Windows #8.1. A few days later she went to use the HERE Drive, HERE Maps and HERE Transit apps and they no longer work! They still appear on the apps listing, but when you select the app to start it - all she geta is a splash screen and nothing, it returns to the app listing - except for HERE Transit; it actually starts but after a few seconds it dies too and we end up back at the apps listing!
Anybody know what's going on?????

I have maps,don't have any update but Mostly the problem is with Drive+; I can select a destination, but as soon as I select 'start' the app closes! I've not found anything official from HERE/Nokia/Microsoft!
Did you try uninstall - reinstall of the HERE Maps and HERE Drive+ applications ?
Also delete any maps data .. and reinstall fresh maps ..

Has anyone else had trouble with HERE Drive+ for the last few days? It crashes on me (without providing an error message) if I don't interact with it for around 2 minutes or it crashes immediately if I attempt to navigate to a favourite.
The only theory is that I think it started since I upgraded HERE Maps and downloaded the new HERE Explore last week and began to play with Collections. This version of Drive+ predates the new version of Maps and collections. Anyone know when a new version of Drive+ is due out?
I'm running version 3.0.4121.0 of Drive+ on a Lumia 925 with OS version 8.0.10328.78
So far I have tried the following but they made no difference:
Uninstalling and reinstalling Drive+
Turning on and off the phone
Soft restart of the phone
Anyone got any ideas?
Many thanks

I moved my favorites out of the collections in Here Maps and removed the empty collections, but I still have the problem.
When "connection" is turn off in the settings, that seems ok. To be confirmed
It's better than nothing

Hi,
I have installed Here Drive + Beta and Here Maps on my Nokia 620, when I click on them to activate they just return to the app list. I have un-installed and re-installed several times over various days and it still does not load. Important to note, Here Transit and other navigation apps work but not Here Drive + Beta and Here Maps! It's very frustrating, can anyone suggest what's going on?
Thank you

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.

HERE Drive+, HERE Maps, access point won't install

These three apps are stuck in my download list. They all say: attention required. Tap here.
When i do, I'm given the option to retry. That downloads the app again, then the install immediately fails and I'm back to the same position.
I've tried a soft reset. And cancelling and redownloading the apps again. But it makes no difference.
Please help, i bought a Nokia Phone specifically intending to use HERE Drive+ so much this is really frustrating.
Thanks,
Scott

Whilst you tried the first part of holding on each of the stuck downloads and deleting them one at a time, did you try going back to the home screen and then into the Store? Does it show "n" downloads waiting, but this time it will show you which ones > tap on the first > go to it's Update page > Update > Repeat?

I can't map a network drive from Windows 7, using the exact same settings that work fine with Vista or XP

I have Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium,and I can't map a network drive. I use a Cisco VPN client to connect to my University network, and then when I go to map the drive I get a message that it can't be found. I have done web research it seems that I am unable to edit the local security settings (apparently you can do this in Ultimate and Professional versions), and that this may be the culprit. Does Microsoft make some patch available? My IT people, and the tech help at HP are baffled by this. If Windows 7 Home Premium does not allow for mapping of network drives, then I'm dumping it and returning to Vista. Has anybody had similar problems?

Day 2 of trying to map a drive in Windows 7 Professional:
My journey to ____..
Begins:
I purchased Windows 7 Home 3xuser license pack for ~140 US I kep hearing friend sayhow much faster it was than Vista 32bit so I thought hey let’s “upgrade”
.. I looked up the definition of the word “upgrade” the following is what I found:
1.
To exchange a possession for one of greater value or quality; trade up.
2.
Computer Science
To replace software or hardware with an upgrade.
3.
Computer Science
a.
To replace (a software program) with a more recently released, enhanced version.
b.
To replace (a hardware device) with one that provides better performance.
So we,re all clear on what an upgrade is suppose to be. I wanted tomake sure I understood before I proceeded.
I installed a copy on my latptop Toshiba Centrino 1.83 Ghz/3 G Ram decent computer for all intent and purposes. It’s been working fine
on Vista but running slow. So I went through MS “requirements checking” to determine if my computer passed the MS test and worth of such the honor and also get MS’s blessing before I moved forward with the “upgrade”.
I proceeded with the upgrade went relatively smoothly had to uninstall a few programs but I figure that’s such a
small price to pay for such great enhancement that I will receive from my “upgrade”. Approximately 4 to 5 hours later after minimal reboots I was all set to go with my new upgraded OS. It was working as prescribed faster than Vista cleaner
interface sorta, helpful little taskbar gadgets. I was stoked that night I went to be thinking I will go to work and be a rock star on my brand newly “upgraded” computer.
Oh and by the way, I was so thrilled about Windows 7 I even upgrade my home computer as well.
I go into work and I have a very big user migration that night, I am an network engineer and I use my laptop for work I use Visio, Wireshark
and others, all the tools that help us do our job efficiently and effectively.
I sit down turn on my computer it boots faster than Vista and I’m just chomping at the bit to get going have lots of work to do. So let
go back for a minute an look at the definition of “upgrade”
“3.
Computer Science
a.
To replace (a software program) with a more recently released,
enhanced version.
b.
To replace (a hardware device) with one that provides
better performance.”
So were good on what upgrade is?
I have my computer up I have logged in (locally) not on a domain as I was not when I was on Vista OS. I wanted to attach the server to get some
files so I go to map a drive………………. Hmmmph ….. that’s weird I cannot map a drive …… let’s try this again……… hmmmph…. what this domain thing going here I
never need that before in the lesser product Vista but ok I’ll add my
\\servername\folder and my domain.org\username..... hit enter and hmmmmmph …. It ask me for my password again.. well I could have fat gingered it so I’ll type it in reallllllllly slow.. hmmmmmmph ….. again no such luck…
So I decide consult a colleague of mine who recommended I “upgrade” to Windows 7. After speaking with me he tells me oh! You need
Windows 7 Professional to do the same things you did in Vista home … I’m perplexed by this but let’s once more take a look at the word “upgrade” to “enhance
and/or make better
”. So now I’m a little perturbed by this little bit of information but I suck it up and decide I’ll drop another ~100.00 US on an “upgrade” to Professional small price to pay for such a great product.. I mean have
you seen those commercial WOW!
I make my purchase download and once “upgrade” to new “upgrade” with even more improvement over Vista and XP I mean
with those two OS’s it took me all of 5 second to map a drive SURELY Windows 7 Professional will map a drive like no one business.
After
few reboots my computer has been fully “upgraded” and ‘upgrade” again to W7 Pro and I’m off to the races ready to get to work cause my migration will be starting in a few hours and I want to be prepared. Sytsem reboots quickly
I’m logged and ready to start getting my information I so desperately need. I go to map my drive I figure I’ll help W7Pro out I’ll be proactive and use “domain.org\username” that way W7Pro
will like me and think oh! this man is brilliant. I hit enter with my correct password that I type realllllly slow. …… waited it’s thinking for sure this is it .. the anticipation is killing me the excitement is overwhelming …….
THUD my world just came crashing down ..no luck .. no login ..no mapping drives…I’m now on hour 6 of this ridiculous journey to the “upgrade” to “upgrade” ____. So now I’m left to forum because MS surely does not
think I am going to pay them $275.00 and hour for support on something that should have work right out of the box.
So I’m on day to I have tried everything on this forum page to get my mapped drive to work with nothing working for me. It appears that
if I want to use my computer I will have to rolled back to the lesser (Vista).
Just in case you’re wondering how I made it through the user migration. I had my co-worker bring me my XP computer worked like it’s
was suppose to.

Here Drive + freezes on Lumia 1020

Hi. I have a Lumia 1020. Version 4.0 of Here Drive + is unusable since it freezes periodically. Versions 3.0X on my 920 are ok. I,have tried to disable traffic info, map info, nothing works.

Hi, ewgoforth.
Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
Are you only experiencing this issue when using HERE Drive+ app? How about another HERE apps or any app that you have on the phone? What exactly are you doing on the phone before it freezes? You can try un-installing the app and then install it back as a basic troubleshooting. This can also help us further isolate the issue.
Thank you for reachin out to us about this. We appreciate it a lot as product quality and customer satisfaction are really important for us. Products like HERE Drive evolve over lifetime and we work hard to bring new features, functions and fixes to make HERE Drive even better. For this, your feedback is essential.
We hope to hear from you soon.

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...
Sincerely
Allan Hvass

Requirement is to run CMD.EXE under the Local System Account. So that we can map a network drive to be used by a windows service, which will be created by command: - net use z: \\servername\sharedfolder /persistent:yes

Environment:
OS: Windows 7 32/64 bit, Windows 2008 Server 64
bit/ Windows 2012 Server 64 bit
Priority:
- Critical
Requirement: - Since
the Windows Service is running under the Local System Account, we would like to emulate this same behaviour.
Basically, we would like to run CMD.EXE under the Local System Account. So that we can map a network drive to be used by a service using following
command
net use z: \\servername\sharedfolder /persistent:yes.
Already Attempt:
We tried to launch the CMD.exe using the DOS Task Scheduler AT command. Here’s a sample command:
AT 10:36 /interactive cmd.exe
But I received a warning that “due
to security enhancements, this task will run at the time excepted but not interactively.”
It turns out that this approach will work for XP, 2000 and Server 2003 but due to session isolation
Interactive services no longer work on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and above.
2. We
tried to create a secondary Windows Service via the Service Control (sc.exe) which merely launches CMD.exe.
<Drive>:\sc create RunCMDAsLSA binpath= "cmd" type=own type=interact <Drive>:\sc
start RunCMDAsLSA
In this case the service fails to start and results it the following error message:
FAILED 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
3. One
suggestion, we found to launch CMD.exe via a Scheduled Task, but
it is not giving any option to launch CMD.exe in interactive mode; so that I can map network drive using net command.
4. I read an article, which
demonstrates the use of PSTools from SysInternals. I launched the command line and executed following command
psexec -i -s cmd.exe
PSTools worked fine, but It seems that in scope of Sysinternals Software License
Terms. You may not "use the software for commercial software hosting services."
Application will deploy on client, which will be like commercial,
so we are not able to use PSTools.
Kindly assist us for achieving the requirement. We have tried all the ways, but nothing is working for us. Kindly suggest.
I will be really thankful.

Hi Sir,
Nothing worked from above for us. You can see our remarks on posted query.
That’s why, we posted on forum.
And there will not be any vulnerability, because, if we will use "net
use ..."
in network domain; definitely,
we will provide username and password of mapped drive system.
And, that system, itself is given by client; so that, there must not be any vulnerability; they are ready to provide user name and password.
We need a way; by which we can complete the requirement. Kindly assist.
Regards,
S. P. Singh

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

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.
