After the HERE Drive+ disappear from the store for a while, it came back today. But I was told it is not compatible with my device.
Anyone got luck to install it?

Search "here" in the store. There are a few versions of the app, but one of them should be compatible with your 950.
Exactly! There are 2 "HERE Drive+" with same icon and no indication what is the difference. One of them works!:grin:

EDIT: oh and it works perfectly! when you get the right version LOL

I think one is for non-Lumia devices (i.e. BLU Win devices) and the other is for Lumia devices.
Thanks for the heads up. I've gotten used to the in-built mapping program, though I do miss the Here voices.

If that's the case, then the implementation is wrong. They should have a single app and it should check for device and OS version and use the appropriate code according to hardware and OS.

no I think one is for win 8 and one is for win 10... it shouldn't matter what device a person is using...

Oddly enough, I think it does because this goes back to Nokia owning HERE previously (see MixRadio). I disagree with your statement because I noticed 2 HERE apps in 8.1. When I have tried a non-Lumia, I experienced this for myself with having to install a different one over the one that came with my Lumias in the past, because they didn't work on said device. Now in my app library, I have 2 HERE Drive+, and also two of the Maps too.
I have tried and you can't install MixRadio on a non-Lumia. Similar situation, so I'm guessing they made another one to work on non-Lumia WP/WMs as well.

I may be wrong, but I think the difference is in licensing. Way back the two Here Maps/Drive apps came one of two ways- with a worldwide license (all map regions) for mid- to high-end Lumias (e.g. Lumia 9xx, 8xx, etc.), and a single region license (North America, OR Europe, etc.) for the lower-end Lumias (e.g. 5xx) and non-Lumia phones.
So, in my apps list, I "own" both versions, but one is compatible with my Lumia 520 and Samsung ATIV, and the other is compatible with my Lumia 830, 925, etc.

This was log ago, since WP 8.1 there are no single country licenses, every Lumia received update to HD+ including 520

Now if they'd only bring Windows HERE up to speed with the Android version, things would be golden.

Yep. Worked perfectly fine with the 830 with charging. Even worked fine with my 920 before I got the 830. Bit the reason I am getting with my xl is akin to right after the 920's release with here
I do have a usb-c quick car charger on the way
