Nokia Drive (Turn-by-turn Voice Guided GPS Navigation App For Windows Phone 7.5) – Sneak Preview

Friday 9 December 2011 @ 5:02 pm

Nokia Maps, formerly known as Ovi Maps, is always my favorite turn-by-turn voice guided GPS navigation application on a mobile phone. I’ve been using it on Nokia N97, N900 & N8 and it served me well in many countries that I’ve been throughout the years. Nokia decided to split Nokia Maps into 2 separate apps in MeeGo and Windows Phone platform. Therefore, we now have 2 map navigation apps in Nokia N9 and all Nokia Lumia Windows Phones :-

  • Nokia Maps (full featured maps navigation with local POI, pin destination, etc.)
  • Nokia Drive (turn-by-turn navigation with voice guidance, optimized for driving)

Well, two is always better than one.

So far Nokia Maps and Nokia Drive are free and exclusive for Nokia devices only but soon it will be available as paid apps for other phones running Windows Phones 7.5. I’ve been longing to run these 2 apps on my phones of other brands and the hope finally came true when I managed to run it on my LG Windows Phone.

I’ll only cover Nokia Drive in this post and perhaps if I have time I’ll write about Nokia Maps as well in another upcoming post.

Nokia Drive supports both portrait and landscape modes. The user interface is optimized with bigger font and buttons for the use while driving. Nokia Drive includes 2D and 3D maps across 95 countries and maps can be easily downloaded via WiFi or data network and stored on the device. Navigation voice of different languages can be installed as well.

I Am Excited About Nokia World 2011 Because…

Monday 17 October 2011 @ 11:57 pm

Nokia World 2010 I went as a winner,
now Nokia World 2011 is just around the corner.
How much I miss the event at London ExCel,
everyone around me can easily tell.

A big Nokia fan I am since the pre-Symbian era,
now I want to be there to witness a new Windows Phone era!
Sea Ray is what I want to see,
I heard it is as cool as Bruce Lee!

Many fascinating announcements will be made this year,
I want to be there to hear it loud and clear.
Many Nokia fans I met last year,
wish we can meet again this year and cheer!

First hand information in Nokia World I wish to get,
I will share it on my blog to people haven’t known it yet.
Nokia World is the place a fan dreams to go,
and I am a big fan through and through, yo!

Nokia Headquarters I went by bus as a crazy fan,
I even took a picture of me holding a Nokia N8 in my hand!
Together with Nokia in June a Guinness World Record I set,
hope in October Nokia sends me to Nokia World 2011 in a jet.




Note: This post is specially coded (with image effect) to show how excited I am about Nokia World 2011. Images will appear by pointing your cursor to the links. By the way, the is the first poem of my life! :D
