OVI map, just drive...
 
Hi All

I have a quick NOB question.
Is there a way to turn on OVI map and just drive having the map track my position? Like, I am driving, I don't know where, but please keep showing me where I am.
If you turn on any GPS device it usually fallows your position but my OVI map just display starting point and I eventually "drive away" from the map view.

Thanks guys!

I think that it's positive that we do not have to use brainstorm for this. Jesss.

Oh..No. It's not possible but maybe,yes,perhaps in future.

The only way to get it to track you is to add you destination in, although it could be any destination. Then it will show the route but will still track you constantly if you deviate from the route.

Worth a try. Getting the map to track my current location whilst moving was my main concern re the usability of the maps. This workaround should be adequate for now.

The latest update (PR 1.1) follows you without setting any route settings.
