Free Las Vegas rides: Nokia Lumia 710 and Nokia Drive

See video of free turn-by-turn navigation app

Published by Trevor Davies on January 12, 2012

LAS VEGAS, NV, United States – Shut up and drive – with Nokia’s turn-by-turn directions on the new Nokia Lumia 710, which is in the shops today with T-Mobile.

We can say this because we tested the Nokia Drive app that comes free with the big value smartphone. And after watching our video, we think you’ll agree.

We offered free rides around Las Vegas to anyone willing to try the service and, without any prompting, they deliver their resounding verdict. Nokia Drive gets you there.

The rules were simple. Our testers got into the limo without telling the driver their destination. They opened Nokia Drive on the Nokia Lumia 710 and input their drop-off point.

They then shouted out the turn-by-turn directions from the handset to guide the driver. And it worked every time. Watch for yourself.

Read about the secrets of our video team’s success.

    Haha, next get drivers themselves to go to a city they’ve never been before and just use Nokia Drive to get from A to B.

    Funny video and idea :) But they are kinda rude to the driver, having no manners. I don’t think in Europe you could ever to that ;)

    Vegas Limo drivers are a whole different breed with totally different expectations from their clients. When our film crew turned up, the first question they were asked by the driver was: “What kind of movie are you making, exactly?”
    When they explained what was happening, he was cool with it, though.
