Nokia to Update Its Drive Application With Full Offline Support?

Anton D. Nagy | November 20, 2011 8:25 AM

In a utopic world where applications aren’t hacked and ported to other devices, Nokia differentiates its phones from the rest with the help of certain applications that come preinstalled, such as the Nokia Drive navigation software.

According to recent reports, Nokia is going to allegedly update Nokia Drive and make it able to completely offline navigation. Currently maps can be downloaded to the phone but the actual routing process still needs a connection. This might not be a problem while you’re driving in your own country but data roaming charges can be huge. A full offline solution will be more than welcome.
