POV:
This is bit sad for Nokia fans to see HERE going away, especially at a time, when Nokia is venturing into new Business areas like Digital Media & Digital Health. HERE could prove to be a great asset for the connected future Nokia is dreaming of. And the latest quarter results show that it is a self-sustaining and rather profitable business. The car-makers are trying to lap-up HERE to make sure that they get best location solution for self-driving / connected future cars. Not sure why Nokia don’t want to have a say there??
