I tried Nokia Drive/Here Drive+ Beta (whatever they're calling it) for the first time earlier and found it very laggy in comparison to Google Navigation. It's only on a Lumia 620 admittedly, but was expecting much better performance after reading some glowing reviews of Nokia Drive.
It was synched with my car stereo, handy it was playing tunes from it... When it wouldnt pause for 4 seconds after each track is.. Still that only lasted a few days then it wouldnt sync at all, reset the car stereo - nada. Doing a software reset on the phone now..
If only it'd just work like, dare i say it again, Ios...

No, nothing running in the background. Seemed like the little green arrow was stuttering down the road as opposed to the smooth movement of the arrow in Google Nav.
That doesn't sound right at all, mines always been very smooth to use, even since WP7.
Also on a side note, Autotrader app is now live and its pretty impressive much more visually impressive than the Android / IOS version.

I don't think they are taking their time, some more updates coming to W8 desktop bringing more features to the core stuff, just seems the really where pushed for time and ran out so are playing catchup with a lot of things.
Kinda shows as Nokia had the phones sitting with the hardware in their phones just wasnt supported at the time.

That is the portico update. 1232.5951.1249.1001?
The last 3 digits are completely irrelevant. It is the 5 digits before that matter. Portico is xxxx.xxxx.1249.1xxx. The last 3 will change depending on where you got your device from and doesn't have anything to do with firmware versions.
