• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I was sitting in the car wash one day and noticed that a building near me was on the screen in 3D. I hadn't noticed any 3D buildings before so I took note. Didn't notice anything else for days but then upon testing out the navigation voice commands I noticed the powered by here maps symbol on the screen and then it clicked for me. Here had an office in that building. I know that because my wife worked for here until they shipped her job over to India... They actually had three office locations in town over the years so to test my theory that these were here easter eggs, I drove by each one. Partly due to curiosity and partly as an excuse to go for a drive in the Telluride.

As you can see, that appears to be the case. So, if you ever notice a 3D building, there's a good chance here/Nokia/Navteq, whatever they were called at the time had an office there. Just an interesting little tidbit.20201005_200749.webp
