After remaining exclusive to Windows Phone for a long time, HERE Maps, is going on board Android with licensing agreement with Samsung and will be available exclusive to Samsung Galaxy Series.
Till date Google Maps had no competition in mapping service but with HERE Maps on board its going to change a lot as it’s the only service to get Offline Maps on board which Google is yet to roll out. As of now Google Maps only offer cumbersome caching of small regions making life a little challenging for travelers.
