HERE Drive+ and Transit are now free for WP8.0 users

A couple of popular apps got updated in the Windows Phone store. HERE navigation package is now 100% free for all users who are on the older Windows phone version – 8.0. In addition, all HERE accounts can now be transferred from Nokia to HERE‘s servers without losing important information. You can still log-in using the old account, but in the near future a HERE account will become mandatory if you want to sync information across devices. HERE Drive+ is now available to more countries like Cyprus, Cote D’voar, Iraq and Paraguay, where people can use full voice navigation, while in other places HERE Drive+ will work with limited capabilities as there are some roads still not covered by HERE Maps.
