If you have been waiting for HERE iOS app to arrive for your iPhones, then time to rejoice, as the new app has just been announced to be available for iOS!! The app is natively designed for iOS and comes with full offline capability unlike the old pulled app that was based on HTML5. You need to have an iPhone 4S running iOS7 as the minimum requirement.
The download link is live now and in the meantime have a look at the features and watch the app in hands-on action.
Here iOS app features:
With HERE for iOS you can store maps on your phone so that they’re always available and you don’t have to wait for them to load or be dependent on signal. They’re not just highly reliable when you’re in your area but they’re particularly useful when travelling to avoid roaming charges. You can save maps to your phone so that the whole HERE app can be put into ‘offline mode’ and it won’t use any data. Even if your iPhone is in flight mode, you can still see where you are, search for places and navigate there on foot, by public transport or by car.
- The all-inclusive route planner on HERE for iOS allows you to compare walking, transit and driving directions including an estimate of how long each will take you – and all of this can be done in ‘offline mode’ too.
- The offline car navigation on HERE for iOS provides full turn-by-turn voice guidance with spoken street names.
- If you’re on foot, HERE will guide you with unobtrusive turn-by-turn alerts and when you’re taking the train, HERE shows you where the station is, all the transfers you’ll need to make and where to get off.
- You can save places ahead of time with Collections, which you can create and view on any HERE app — iOS, Android, Windows, etc. — or on the web at here.com.
