Nokia Here maps for Android

At the end of August, Nokia shared important
information about the fate of its Here Maps offering,
namely, that it will soon be available for Android
users. There was a catch though: as an effect on an
agreement between Nokia and Samsung, Here Maps
for Android will initially be only available for
Samsung Galaxy devices.
If you do, however, have a such a gadget in your
hand, look for Here Maps for Android (currently in
beta) in the Samsung Galaxy Apps Store, also linked
in the source below. You’ll be able to take advantage
of offline maps and turn-by-turn navigation in all
those situations where you can’t rely (don’t want to)
on Google Maps. Sadly, for now, you have to have a
Samsung Galaxy device to use the app itself, until
Nokia decides to open the offering up to other
manufacturers’ devices as well (or until the
community works its magic and unlocks it).
