Nokia has recently pushed the update to its Nokia Drive, thereby increasing the version number 1.1.0.1501. No note, however, changes have been added in the description of the application. It does not know what has changed in the first glance.

Basically, one would think it was the update supposed to bring Nokia Drive navigation even without an Internet connection but it is not the case. Some members of the site have verified this effect by disabling Internet connections and data (manually and not via the flight mode which also disables the GPS chip), it does not work yet.In the end, we only know that these minor corrections, perhaps improving the performance and speed of Nokia Location Based Drive. 

Note that this shows that the Finnish firm follows good application and that the long-awaited offline navigation should not wait too long
