Nokia has just launch a new free alternative to iOS Maps. The new app called “HERE Maps” provides offline maps along with walking and transit directions. Looks like someone beat Google to the App Store.
Description from the App Store:
HERE Maps helps you feel like a local anywhere you go. See where you are, search and discover nearby places, and get a feel for the place. Collect places to remember or for later discovery. Explore new destinations and know instantly how to get there on foot, by car or on public transport. HERE Maps is based on the world-class NAVTEQ mapping data used in 90% of in-car navigation systems in the world.
Features:
- 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
The new “HERE Maps” app is available for free in the App Store. It’s free, so why not give it a shot? You can download the app with this direct link to the App Store.
