Nokia Launches Free Mapping Alternative for iOS: 'HERE Maps'

A week ago Nokia announced the HERE brand, and today unsurprisingly Nokia launched the free mapping alternative for iOS: 'HERE Maps'. Get the HERE Maps app here.

From MacRumors: "Features include: 

  • Map views – Pick the map you need from map view, live traffic view, public transport line view or satellite view 
  • Save map areas & wander without data coverage 
  • Maps, search and place coverage for nearly 200 countries 
  • Step-by-Step voice-guided walk navigation 
  • Walk navigation through pedestrian routes, parks, alleyways, and more 
  • Public transportation and driving directions"

MacRumors also quotes The Verge's review: "Obviously this is Nokia's first stab at an iOS client for its new mapping service, and in many ways it's more functional than Apple's native Maps client, but for now, many of the additional features don't work as well as they ought to."
