Nokia Maps, Drive and Transport updated for Lumia devices

One of the cool features about owning a Nokia Lumia device is that you will get access to a variety of apps and features that are exclusive to Nokia phones, such as the Drive and Transport app, with the former being a GPS navigation system, while the latter focuses more on providing commuters with train/bus/tram timetables, schedules and routes. In any case, the Nokia Maps, Drive and Transport apps have been updated and should be available for download via the Windows Phone Marketplace.

As far as the updates are concerned, the Drive app has been updated to show more clearly the speed limits of the road that you are driving on, and warnings can be customized in terms of alerts and specific triggers. The update has also brought about offline usage allowing users to download maps for offline access in areas with poor reception or if you’re trying to cut back on data usage.

The Nokia Maps app has also been updated to show traffic situations, allows for the adding of places you want to visit into a favorites list, and even allows for the sharing of locations which you can send to friends via SMS, email or through social networks. The Nokia Transport app has also finally made its debut, and for those unfamiliar, the app was introduced back at MWC and basically it shows commuters various routes for getting from point A to point B, along with the timetable for the various public transport services around the world.
