Nokia Here – o aplicatie Nokia ce va oferi navigatie turn-by-turn si multe alte servicii pentru iDevice-uri

  Astazi compania Nokia a anuntat lansarea unei noi platforme de geolocalizare numita Here, aceasta fiind prezentata drept cea mai avansata platforma de acest gen de pe glob. Platforma va oferi utilizatorilor posibilitatea de a se geolocaliza folosind aplicatii pentru terminale mobile, platforma iOS fiind inclusa in randul celor pe care o aplicatie gratuita urmeaza sa fie lansata. Aplicatia numita Nokia Here va oferi navigatie turn-by-turn, posibilitatea de a salva harti offline, informatii despre rutele de transport in comun si multe altele.

“People want great maps, and with HERE we can bring together Nokia’s location offering to deliver people a better way to explore, discover and share their world,” said Nokia President and CEO Stephen Elop. “Additionally, with HERE we can extend our 20 years of location expertise to new devices and operating systems that reach beyond Nokia. As a result, we believe that more people benefit from and contribute to our leading mapping and location service.”  To further extend its location services, Nokia is launching a maps application for iOS under the HERE brand. Based on HTML5, it will include offline capabilities, voice-guided walk navigation, and public transport directions. The application is scheduled to be available for free download from Apple’s App Store in the coming weeks.

  Aplicatia pentru iOS va fi disponibila doar daca Apple va decide sa o publice in App Store si ea va folosi un sistem de cloud computing pentru a randa mult mai usor imaginile 3D ale locatiilor. Partea cea mai interesanta este desigur posibilitatea de a folosi sistemul offline si cel pentru navigatie turn-by-turn, Nokia fiind laudata de multa lume pentru sistemul sau de harti. Deocamdata nu stim cand urmeaza sa fie lansata aplicatia pentru iOS, insa ea va fi gratuita si se anunta a fi extrem de interesanta.
