Nokia Drive video review

Ovi Maps was one of the saving graces of Symbian as it sang its swansong, and it's great to see Nokia bringing back the best features of Ovi Maps for a Windows Phone alternative. Nokia Drive has the same extensive world map coverage, and the same ability to download maps to local storage, although now this works over mobile data - no desktop computer required. Features are rather limited, but the unified keyword search makes finding a destination in Drive supremely easy, although you do need a data link for this. It's certainly a big incentive for anyone considering Nokia's Lumia handsets.

So not as good as Ovi Maps then? Think I'll be sticking with Symbian for a while longer then.
