Top 5 reasons to download the new Nokia Drive on your Nokia Lumia

By now, many of you with Nokia Lumia devices have already downloaded the new Nokia Drive from Windows Marketplace.  In case you are still waiting to download the new Nokia Drive, here are five reasons why you should do it, post haste.

Explore the world without worrying about data costs: 

You want to explore a new region or country that you are visiting, and want to drive around without worrying about data costs or going through the hassle of getting a local SIM card. Or you are in a place where cell reception is spotty at best. Not to worry – all you need to do is use WiFi to download the country or region maps that you are planning to explore, and Nokia Drive’s offline feature will help you.  You can be offline to save data charges, and still find and get to where you need to be. Search for places and addresses or get voice guided turn-by-turn directions to your destination without needing a data connection.

Drive safe and savvy: 

Sometimes the road stretches ahead, or you are a bit busy, and you forget about the speed limit.  The new Nokia Drive shows you the speed limit of the road you are on, and warns you when you go above the speed limit. You can also adjust the alert settings to fit your needs.

Update your loved ones on when to expect you:

 “Are we there yet?”  “When will we be there?” If you have driven with a group, you are familiar with these questions. Or you may want to let your friends know when exactly you will arrive at their party. When you drive, you want all the pertinent information at a glance. The new Nokia Drive lets you quickly see your estimated time of arrival, time remaining to destination, and distance to destination. Everything you need to know to make decisions on the road is available to you in a glance.

Recent Destinations: 

You don’t have to type the addresses all over again.  Now, you have one tap access to your most recent destinations on Nokia Drive. Less time typing, more time exploring!

Always there, wherever you are: 

Nokia Drive offers coverage in 104 countries across 6 continents, including full China support. So wherever your top 10 places to visit are located, chances are you can download the country or region maps to Nokia Drive, and take a drive along Route 66 or cruise along Champs-Élysées.

So download the new Nokia Drive to your Nokia Lumia and take it out for a spin! If you have already tried out the new Nokia Drive, let us know how you like the experience!
