Nokia Lumia users 
will have a new reason to love their smartphones, as the phone maker 
announces a partnership with on-demand deals company Groupon.  Nokia 
releases its Nokia Maps 2.5 app, which is now integrated with Groupon 
Now!.  The new service provides limited-time offers from local 
establishments such as restaurants, stores, and service providers that 
can be located directly in the map.
Scouring for deals is easy.  As the user searches using Nokia Maps, 
the trademark Groupon green G will reveal relevant deals apart from 
other search results.  Tapping the icon would yield a description of the
 offer and a link to the Groupon mobile site to purchase the coupon.  
The app will also provide advanced route planning, allowing you to 
navigate from your place to the discount location by car, with public 
transit, or on foot.
The new version of Nokia Maps is now available at the Windows Market.
  However, it is only currently available in the United States and works
 for Nokia Lumia 610, 710, 800, and 900.
