This thread is to share some of the common issues that are being raised in relation to the HERE Maps, HERE Drive and HERE Transit releases. 
Currently split in to the following sections:
HERE Maps for Windows Phone
HERE Drive for Windows Phone
HERE Transit for Windows Phone
Nokia Maps & Drive for Symbian
HERE Maps for Windows Phone
Can I sync my Maps favourites from my Symbian phone to my Windows Phone?
Yes. Just sync the favourites on your Symbian phone with here.com. See the user guide of your Symbian phone for info on how to do this.
Your favourites in here.com are automatically synced with your Windows Phone, if you're signed in to your Nokia account with your phone.
Does HERE Maps work offline?
Yes, on Windows Phone 8 devices HERE Maps can be used also in offline mode.
With Nokia Maps on the Windows Phone 7 devices you need an online connection. In these devices the map data is streamed on as needed basis and it is not cached.
Can I start Drive navigation from HERE Maps in my Nokia Lumia phone?
Yes, on Windows Phone 8 devices you can start drive navigation from HERE Maps.
On Windows Phone 7 devices you need to go to the Nokia Drive application to start the navigation.
Why can't HERE Maps find my location?
Check that you've allowed HERE Maps and your phone to find your location.
In HERE Maps
Go to Settings in the HERE Maps app and turn on Use your location
In your phone settings
In your phone's main menu, tap Settings > location > on.
Things that can affect your GPS signal may include: being indoors, tall buildings, poor weather and some car windscreens. You'll also get a better fix on your location if you've got a data connection.
HERE Drive for Windows Phone
Can I use HERE Drive without a data connection?
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.
Users of HERE Drive can buy an upgrade to HERE Drive+ through the Windows Phone Store.
HERE Transit for Windows Phone
How do I install the HERE Transit application in my Windows Phone?
Download and install HERE Transit from Microsoft Store. Start Store in your phone and search for HERE Transit or browse in Nokia collection.
In Windows Phone 7 devices the corresponding app is Nokia Transport and it can be installed from Marketplace.
Why can't HERE Transit find my route?
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.

Got a Maps query? Check our Maps FAQ's

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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • TOP questions for Eseries devices - not so new!

    Just noticed that the thread titled:
    TOP questions for Eseries devices - start here [new]
    Really isn't so new dated 30-Cot-2007 11:48 AM - last edited on 30-Oct-2007 11:48 AM
    The post suggests that the first thing to do is update to the latest version of software.
    Alas the last update for E72 was 27 October 2010 which is flawed!  I know as my phone has misbehaved since installing it and I see other users reporting similar if not the same issues here.
    *#0000# reports version 052.005.217.11
    Question - How does one down grade to previous version?
    The post then suggests "If you still experience problems, you can try if formatting your Eseries device helps. Format the device by dialling *#7370#. The device will request a security code, the default code is 12345 unless you have changed it."
    Well actually on the E72 this does nothing!  I Type in *#7370# and its displayed to me and nothing else happens.  If I enter *#0000# I get the version number so it seems the software/firmware does not understand the code above!
    I did try 'factory settings' option from one of the control panel menu's instead at some point of my misery but was surprised by just how little effect that had - many things were not reset.
    If your still reading, I thought I would share some steps I have found to sometimes help on E72 when it appears to hang / stall:
    1. Try holding down the home button and if the running applications bar is shown try closing the applications by pressing the delete (backspace) key.
    2.- If that fails try pressing the off button and selecting 'offline' mode - This sometimes works - if it does then try previous point before going back to an online mode such as 'general'.
    3. If that fails - try holding down the power button to turn device off - that sometimes works! But sometimes the keyboard lights simply stay on until the battery goes dead...
    4. Remove the battery wait a moment and then re-insert battery.  You may then have to enter the time and date. Do check your alarms - during GMT I noticed all my alarms would have incremented by an hour!  Not seen this since BST started.

    Very strange - or perhaps not that strange but just another issue....  I tried the Hard Reset code again at this time it worked!!!  I'm now re-entering my details and remembering what I didn't back up   But if it fixes my issues it will be worth it.
    FYI from another fine post I found:
    FOR SOFT-RESET:
    - at Standby Screen type-in => *#7780#
    It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
    Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
    FOR HARD-RESET:
    - at Standby Screen type-in => *#7370#
    It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
    Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
    FOR FLASHING- TOTAL RESTORE: (Do this if your phone does not boot up)
    1) Remove the battery, and then wait for about 20 min or so before putting it back
    2) Press and hold these three keys together -Green dial key, Star key[*], Three key [3]
    3) switch ON the phone.
    4) Do not let go the three keys until you see the WELCOME screen displayed and just let it complete the boot process

  • TOP questions for Nseries devices - start here

    My Nseries device is not functioning properly.
    Always make sure that you have the latest software version in your Nokia device. You can update the software yourself using Nokia Software Updater, Nokia's free PC software. Learn more and download Nokia Software Updater at
    http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/update-your-phone/
    If you think your Nokia device needs repair, go to http://www.nokia.com/global/support/locations/ to find authorized Nokia Care Points globally.
    How do I know when there is new software available for my Nokia device?
    There are several ways to be notified about new sw versions for each Nokia device:
    1) Use Nokia Ovi Suite
    When you connect your device to a PC which is running Nokia Ovi Suite, you can check the available updates and install them in Software Updates menu of Ovi Suite.
    2) Check online
    You can easily check the latest available version on the
    Nokia Software Update website.
    3) Update over-the-air
    Many devices allow you to check and install the software updates directly over-the-air by using 3G/GPRS or WLAN data connection. Go to SW Update menu where you can check the available updates and install them. Alternatively, you can type in the command *#0000# and select Options > Check for updates.
    Currently Nokia does not publish the expected release dates for new software versions.
    What has been updated in each new software version?
    Main updates are published on the
    Nokia Software Update website.
    How can I make my Nokia device's battery last longer?
    Here are some of the most common tips. Note that these tips do not apply to all Nokia device models:
    Only enable Bluetooth and WLAN when you need them.
    Set GPRS connection to "When needed".
    Do not leave applications running unnecessarily in the background, e.g. applications which are using GPS or data connection (consuming the battery power).
    If using Maps, preload the map data to your device to avoid the downloading of the map data when Maps application is in use.
    Set the backlight time-out value to turn off the backlight when the device is not used.
    Turn off the notification lights.
    What to do if I get the error message "Memory full. Delete or move some data from C: Phone memory"
    The device memory is low in this case and you should try to free some memory on your C: drive. Use File Mgr. application to view the contents of the C: phone memory. To get more free space on C: drive, check the following:
    Clear the web browser cache to release memory used by the cache.
    Move your own files stored on C: drive to memory card or mass memory (if your device has an internal mass memory).
    Check that the captured photos are stored on memory card or mass memory, not on C: drive.
    Remove applications which are installed in C: phone memory if they are not used, or install them to mass memory if supported by the application
    The calendar entries, contacts and notes reside in the phone memory. Remove the objects which are not needed.
    If using Nokia N97 device, select Menu > Applications > SW Update and install Memory reorganiser if it is listed in the available updates. Run the program by selecting Menu > Applications > Reorganiser, this will move some of the applications from C: phone memory to E: mass memory.

    I wrote all my posts from 2005-2011 as an "Admin" for this community. I still work for Nokia as an external consultant, so my rank in all posts is now "Employee".

    Very strange - or perhaps not that strange but just another issue....  I tried the Hard Reset code again at this time it worked!!!  I'm now re-entering my details and remembering what I didn't back up   But if it fixes my issues it will be worth it.
    FYI from another fine post I found:
    FOR SOFT-RESET:
    - at Standby Screen type-in => *#7780#
    It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
    Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
    FOR HARD-RESET:
    - at Standby Screen type-in => *#7370#
    It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
    Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
    FOR FLASHING- TOTAL RESTORE: (Do this if your phone does not boot up)
    1) Remove the battery, and then wait for about 20 min or so before putting it back
    2) Press and hold these three keys together -Green dial key, Star key[*], Three key [3]
    3) switch ON the phone.
    4) Do not let go the three keys until you see the WELCOME screen displayed and just let it complete the boot process

  • InfoWindowOptions question for Google maps mobile project

    I am trying to create mobile project to display database driven locations on map.
    I am getting data through remote call to ColdFusion, perfectly displaying markers on my map. Now, i want to be able to click on Marker and display custom info in InfoWindowOptions from my DB, for example image which has been connected to that location.
    This is the function which loop through ArrayCollection create markers and sets an event listener for them:
    for (var i:int=0; i<locationsCollection.length; i++)
                           var m:Marker = new Marker(new LatLng(locationsCollection[i].latitude, locationsCollection[i].longitude),
                              new MarkerOptions({tooltip:'test',hasShadow:true}));
                           m.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.CLICK, function(e:Event):void {
                               var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.imchi.info/testimages/"+locationsCollection[i].picture);
                               var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
                               imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(event:Event):void {
                                   var width:Number = 200;
                                   var height:Number = 200;
                                   var options2:InfoWindowOptions = new InfoWindowOptions({
                                       customContent: imageLoader});
                                   m.openInfoWindow(options2);    
                               imageLoader.load(request);
                          map.addOverlay(m);
    The problem is that when it comes to locationsCollection[i].picture it fails, and only if i set instead of it name of file for example:
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.imchi.info/testimages/test.jpg"); it is working.
    What i am doing wrong?

    I'm not entirely sure if there is a default time frame that should be built into the application, but it does seem like a bug to me.

  • 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.

  • 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...
