Me thinks this thread just needs to be closed. It went from someone needing some help to make their M8 work to bashing every possible thing, relevant or not, about anything. VZW customer service, Here Maps, Chevy Trucks even got in on the action I think...
I mean seriously, we have a dude that threatened Verizon with a chargeback due to his Bluetooth headset not working with an Android device - so he got an iPhone? Then the guy that has an issue with Here Maps vs. Google Maps on an iPhone? And the OP that has one of the most defective phones in the history of mankind? Someone stop the madness!
On a side note, to Mallguvner, when I hit map on Here, it gives me three options on almost every route I put in. These are usually shortest, fastest and balanced... I bet your Here is set to balanced or fastest - which is sometimes not faster - instead of shortest.

That's dialogue box you showed is worthless for any route changes such as the one showed in the pictures. Be assured that it was the first place I turned to in an attempt to get a better route. Please grab data off the maps in my pictures and show us how to correct the route with your dialogue box. If there's something I missed besides your dialogue box I sure welcome the learning experience. I was even hoping someone might have an online place that gave instructions to Here Drive.
Sounds like you have a problem with getting what you paid for and having the guts to ask for it. Also sounds like you're adding up my contributions as a complete problem to your thinking of your phone. Contact GM. Your hero app "Here Drive" is the culprit. That's the only reason Chevy got into this thread.
If you got a phone for your business and it didn't work and you were under a contract you don't suppose you're entitled to a phone that works? The Bluetooth really didn't work on the M7 in many cases before HTC fixed it. I'm a full time repairman at my business. Bluetooth isn't a luxury. It's a necessity. Verizon wasn't willing to update it. Have you ever heard of Verizon not updating something? Research it. I guess maybe we're supposed to be silent and eat the bad phone and above all not comment on it??? The guy supposedly has had the worst run of phone problems in history. Verizon should fix it. My opinion only. Keep it to myself???
Maybe I should go elsewhere if fan boys control the group think here. No problem by me. If a moderator contacts me and thinks that I'm not a fair guy with fair opinions I'll leave. No problem. I see guys on here bashing the phone all the time and they don't even have the phone.
So instead of asking someone to close the thread why don't you post a few pictures showing others that I was mistaken about Here Drive and quit assuming I didn't play with all of the settings in an attempt to get it to choose an alternate route. Did you look at the route above? I put enough information on it for anyone that knows more then I do about Here Drive to get it to do the proper route if that's even possible which I don't think it is. Send me a message for the actual starting and ending points and I'll be happy to let you teach me. Be warned though. Here Drive likes to back track and eat up the clock.
