Getting NDrive up and running is a quick and easy process.

1. Downloading the Application

In order to download NDrive you will need to search for it in the marketplace.

NDrive is listed under free applications, travel category.

After finding NDrive proceed to download it. Once it is downloaded NDrive will ask you if you would like to download a map. There is a “Store” icon within NDrive that will take you to the map selection page as well.

You will need a map for the routing to work.

2. Choosing your Map(s)

Note – Installing additional voices and alerts is free, but there is a cost associated with each map. When you choose to download a map you will first be asked to narrow your search by geographic region. You will then be shown the maps available in that region.

Select a map to view product information and price. There is an option to “Buy” that map at the bottom of the screen.

After choosing to buy the application you will be shown the NDrive terms of service. If you agree you will be taken to NDrive’s secure online payment system.

The checkout process will ask for credit card and billing information.

Once the purchase has been completed you will be given options to install, receive invoice, or install later.

If you want to install at that time then go to the “My Products” tab. Select a product. Grayed out checkmarks indicate that a product has been purchased, but not yet installed. After choosing a product your installation will proceed.

Our servers will remember your purchase, so even if your phone is formatted and you lose all your data, restoring NDrive won’t be a problem.
