Nokia Windows Phone devices under the Lumia series will soon get the company’s dedicated navigation software, Nokia Drive. The Finnish handset maker has recently announced two devices under its Lumia range – Nokia Lumia 710 and Lumia 800.

Nokia is planning to make the software utility completely offline capable. This means that the application will be able to function without data connectivity or mobile networks.

“Nokia Drive will receive an update in the near future that will allow navigation even offline,” said Plaffo.com quoting officials of Nokia Italy.

Although Nokia has shared broad plans, no definitive deadlines have been announced.
