Apple Maps alternative Nokia Here now available for iOS

While Apple tweaks their beleaguered Apple Maps app, some of you out there who;ve become dependent on your iPhones and iPads to get around the city may still be in search for a great map app. Today, we’ve gotten word that Finnish smartphone manufacturer Nokia have just made a potential alternative (maybe even permanent replacement) for Apple Maps available to iOS devices — Nokia Here.

Here’s the product description for Nokia Here from iTunes:

“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.”
