Nokia launches Here Maps onto iOS

Blair McClelland November 21, 2012 Channel, Mobile

Last week Nokia announced its Here Maps initiative, a cross-platform mapping solution that has today arrived for Apple iOS devices. Nokia Here Maps will make “you feel like a local wherever you go” with traffic and public transport overlays and voice guided navigation.

You also have the option to download an area as an offline map, however this cap is limited to 10 MB so the larger the area selected, the less detail will be stored. There is data in Nokia's database for over 200 countries.

The Verge reports that while it is a little dated in terms of looks, it does compare nicely to Apple's integrated Maps in iOS 6 in areas.

Nokia Here Maps is available on iPhone and iPad for absolutely nothing and can be found here.

KitGuru says: Inital reviews are hinting at the fact people are still awaiting an standalone mapping solution from Google.

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.
