I'm from Waterloo, Ontario, Canada and just had a trip up to the Blue Mountain Resorts. For the drive there, I used my friend's iPhone 4S with Apple Maps. I was skeptical at first, but it brought us there without any problems. For the drive back, I decided to give Drive a go.
Its faster route option takes roughly 2.5 hours with ~170km. Its shorter route option takes 2 hours with ~140km. This threw me off, and since Google, Apple and even Here (tried to link but its URL contains square brackets that screw up BBCode) defaults to a route similar to what the shorter route option gave me, I went for that option.
It wasn't long before I got directed to plenty of unpaved roads (option was disabled) that I did not have on the way to the resort with Apple Maps. Worst still, I was getting instructions like stay left on 1-lane streets, turn slightly right when there's only a full right turn available AND the blue highlight for the route just ends at that point, etc.Code:http://here.com/directions/drive/The_Westin_Trillium_House,_Blue_Mountain[124dpyvh-5dbb18f1d26e4ef49d4345e94ee31022]/Waterloo,_ON[43.46339,-80.52075]/@cfb50e0c020de3d014cb6f975530a73b/map=43.9806773,-79.9113696,9,0,0,normal.day

Another one was that both Apple Maps and Google Maps was asking me to turn right, but Drive told me to keep driving straight with a left turn ahead, but I noticed the right turn was highlighted too. So I decided to zoom out and take a look, this was what I saw:

Needless to say, I took my 920 off the car mount and put an iPhone on.
And here's the thing, I've used Navigon (NAVTEQ maps) on my iPhone 3GS for the exact same origin/destination before and there was no problems, no unpaved roads. I also understand that it's in beta and I love my Lumia 920, but this is just.. ugh! - 12-21-2012, 10:40 AM #2
Your Nokia Drive+ Beta app looks completely different from mind so that might be your problem...
