Nokia today announced sweeping updates to its HERE Maps application for the Android and Windows Phone platforms.
The chief goal of this update was to improve the accuracy of maps worldwide with new/changed roads. HERE now more accurately represents inland water, such as ponds, rivers, and lakes.
Nokia says the maps for Cyprus, Mayotte, and Zimbabwe have been updated in their entirety and are now navigable via turn-by-turn directions. Nokia took pains to increase the accuracy of how transit lines are mapped, as well. Specifically, the cities of Kaohsiung, Taipei, Curitiba, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Singapore now more accurately show where subway, train, and bus lines pass.
Nokia said the updated version of HERE Maps is rolling out worldwide over the course of the next few days. Nokia HERE Maps is free.
