Nokia Here Maps come to Asha 501, let you navigate without GPS

05 Jul 2013

Nokia has introduced Here maps for the Nokia Asha platform with a beta release of the location app for its recently launched Nokia Asha 501 phone.

Announcing the move on its Conversations blog, Nokia said that the first beta release of Here Maps was specifically designed for phones without GPS. The app, available for download through the Nokia Store, allows users to search for places and addresses in nearly 200 countries, and offers driving, public transit and walking directions as list or map view. The app also offer real-time traffic information visualised on the map to let users reroute to avoid heavy traffic areas (available in select regions only). In the absence of GPS, the app uses cell location data to show your location on the map.

The Here maps app also offers public transit lines info and satellite image views in some regions and Nokia says that the satellite view images would soon be updated to offer better quality.

"Nokia Asha devices will offer industry leading HERE experiences to millions of consumers using maps on their mobile devices for the first time. Simultaneously, HERE Maps on Asha platform will drive an additional level of scale, visibility expanding Nokia's HERE platform and ecosystem further in high growth markets," said Neil Shah, Senior Analyst, Strategy Analytics.
