Nokia Adds Groupon Offers To Lumia Maps

By clicking on a green "G" icon, US users can now buy Groupon's discounted deal-of-the-day vouchers from their handsets and then locate the retailers participating in the offers by using Nokia's navigation system. An analyst said the deal could be an advantage for Groupon, which had so far not been "local enough". Nokia said it was interested in different ways of monetising its maps. The new location platform will be integrated into the phone's Windows Phone 8 operating system.
