On their blog Nokia revealed the Here Drive + GPS Navigation app will be coming free to all Windows Phone 8.1 handsets.

The app will support free voice guided car navigation in 97 countries, and support Windows Phones from all OEMs.

Nokia also announced updates to HERE Maps, HERE Drive+ and HERE Transit better.

First they updated the way you see our maps in all apps. In select countries you can now see buildings in 3D, in addition to realistic 3D landmarks that help you orientate yourself in a city. They have also updated aerial images so that you can zoom in even more and see more details.

In HERE Maps you can now use two fingers gestures to rotate the map in the direction you prefer and tilt it to activate the 3D mode.

In Here Drive+ you can now also long press anywhere on the map to set your destination.

The updates will be automatically available when users install Windows Phone 8.1.
