HTC has just answered the challenge Nokia in the realm of Windows Phone by providing free voice guided navigation through application of their Locations. This is clearly the position of both companies are equal to about offline navigation features in Windows Phone platform.
Locations in the application even though HTC was not originally designed to compete directly with the application Drive from Nokia, but applications from HTC has now will allow you to download maps that you can use when offline as well as help navigate the journey that you take. Support the voice guidance is gradually presented by HTC to facilitate your activities either while walking or while driving.
This feature has actually appeared on Android products from HTC, but for some reason the previous HTC smartphones does not immediately include it in their production Windows Phone. After seeing the performance of Nokia Lumia at the end of last year, Taiwan-based company would likely not be willing to share Windows Phone market dominated by Nokia, and finally decided to go offline in the navigation features of Windows Phone platform.
We wait for a new round of battles HTC against Nokia in the realm of Windows Phone!
