HERE Maps finally hits Google Play Store

HERE Maps has finally landed on the Google Play Store. The maps and navigational app from Nokia is available as a free download for Android devices.

Prior to this, HERE for Android was available as an open beta for all those interested, but could only be installed by side-loading it onto your device. Nokia HERE Maps includes turn-by-turn directions and points-of-interest, live traffic info and public transport maps and directions. One of key features of the HERE maps is that it allows users to download the map of entire region and use it when offline as in without a data connection.
