Nokia Drive+ is no longer limited to Lumia smartphone owners as the Finnish company made its navigation app available for all Windows Phone 8 users. Actually not all — as I’m writing this, the application can only be downloaded from Windows Phone Marketplace in the US, UK and Canada. Other countries will presumingly follow soon.
Available as a free download, Nokia Drive+ Beta brings offline, turn-by-turn voice guided navigation that works even without a data connection. Users benefit from local speed limit information with audible speed limit warnings, more than 60 different voice guidance packs, Day/Night modes, various route settings (i.e. avoiding toll roads & highways), 2D & 3D landmarks on map, advanced dashboard and more. Yup, you should stop doing whatever you were doing to download Nokia’s app. Follow the link below to proceed.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
