Interestingly, the app advertises itself with images of the UK however, I can't download it and it says it's not available in my region.

EDIT: Scrap that! I've just got it to install! :-D

Since I have an HTC and haven't been able to try Nokia Drive myself, does this replace the Bing map links with Nokia Map links - or does Nokia Drive provide the directions via Bing Maps?

I don't want to install this on my HTC if it'll obfuscate my beloved Bing Maps.

It will not show up in app store. You need the direct hidden link.


Also on the details page of the app in store, scroll down to the link 'More from NAVTEQ EUROPE B.V' and install Nokia Pulse beta too!

Finally a navigation app that will allow me to get directions from Bing Maps. I have Navigon, which I really like, but I always have to copy or re-type the address when I'm looking something up

It doesn't replace or obfuscate anything. It is just an extra app... Bing and Nokia maps are two entirely separate apps.

super, now all phones can suffer poor battery life.

Nokia should have got this out of beta before inflicting it on everyone.

By downloading Nokia Drive, you do not replace Bing map links with Nokia map links. Two separate apps. So everything will run as before with the exception that you now have an app that gives you turn by turn voice guided navigation.

Also...

1) You can search for directions via Bing (Nokia) Maps, then in the the direction list screen, launch Nokia Drive from there, via the "Drive" button. This button used to launch GMapsPro for me.
2) Nokia Drive uses the same offline maps already installed on your phone.
