Updating its great Nokia Drive satellite navigation app to v1.5, the Nokia Lumia 800 Windows Phone now offers better sat-nav functionality than ever. And with the free update available over-the-air in a tiny 7MB download, you can update your new Nokia Lumia smartphone in a matter of seconds.

Nokia Lumia 800 delivers free turn-by-turn navigation

As soon as we tried the free Nokia Drive sat-nav software on the Nokia Lumia 800 last year, our old GPS device was immediately put out to pasture and never saw our car dashboards again. Putting powerful, usable and free satellite navigation in the palm of our hands, Nokia Drive is by far our favourite app on the Nokia Windows Phone.

Offering free turn-by-turn navigation and free updates for life, Nokia Drive is just one of many reasons we think the Nokia Lumia 800 is the world’s best Windows Phone. And with its great interface and optimised in-car landscape view working perfectly on the Lumia’s 3.7-inch screen, Nokia Drive has never steered us wrong since the day we started using it.

Well, Nokia Drive has now been updated to v1.5, tweaking the software for even better performance. And since the compact 7MB download is available over-the-air free on all Nokia Lumia 800 smartphones, it’s an essential update to install on your new Nokia Windows Phone, so grab it as soon as you can.
