One of the key differentiators for Nokia's Windows Phone Devices , the company's navigation app , is now available to all Windows Phone 8 Users in United States , United Kindom and Canada . The app , which is called Nokia Drive+ , is still in Beta and is available for free on the Windows Phone Store .

This essentially means that users who now own Windows Phone 8 devices made by HTC (Samsung 's devices have still not gone on sale) , will be able to experience features like full turn-by-turn voice guided navigation , offline maps , speed limit warnings , and day and night modes , which where till now , only available on Nokia's Windows Phone devices.

It's worth that Nokia announced that it would make Nokia Drive available to other Windows Phone 8 partner in 110 countries , coinciding with the announcement of Windows Phone 8 platform , in june 2012 . Nokia's location assets are one of the richest , with mao data for nearly 200 countries . So Microsoft's location partnership with Nokia which aims at strengthening the Windows  Phone ecosystem is finnaly fruit . We are looking forward to Nokia releasing the app in other markets , including India soon .
