popular application for navigate GPS, developed by Nokia, returns on devices with iOS operating system, after an absence of 15 months, offering owners of tablets and phones Apple an alternative for the application Maps provided by Apple.

HERE Maps for iOS brings most functions for offline browsing, also available in the version for Android, missing some extras, such as the support venue maps. Being, further, a free application, Here Maps for iOS offers suggestions regarding GPS navigation from aboard cars or, using public transport, suggestions for interesting locations to visit and GPS meaning for more than 100 countries, all available for offline use.

Here Maps navigation application from Nokia will soon return to devices with iOS operating system. This is one of the most popular applications on Windows Phone and will also debut on Android, thanks to the partnership with Samsung. The plan is like the service Here Maps to be available on all three mobile platforms by the end of 2015. Nokia Maps were first released on IOS, but these did not have the desired success. Unfortunately, the application did not agree with the operating system Apple, and after its launch iOS7, the Finnish company has decided to completely give up support and withdraw the application from App Store. The reason seems to be the incompatibility of the new iOS version with the application.

Sean Fernback, SVP Nokia, admitted that the launch of the old version of Here Maps on iOS was a failure, but he wanted to specify the fact that, now, the company's focus falls exclusively on software, giving his team the opportunity to create a reliable product.

What we know for sure is that, in 2015, we will see the famous service Here Maps pe iOS and Android, along with the version on Windows Phone. Considering the tiny market share that Windows Phone has worldwide, the exclusivity of this service on the platform Microsoft it was not a justified one, and now like the divisions Nokia of software and hardware they are different entities, there are no more contractual obligations that prevent the porting of services.
