Nokia offer a fine mapping and turn by turn solution for Windows Phone users. It has also offered for about a year its HERE maps on the Apple App Store so that iOS users could use them too.

Now, Nokia has removed the app, and cited that iOS 7 ruins the HERE maps experience. Consequently, Nokia has received a lot of media coverage over this decision along with its reasoning.

Personally, I am dubious about Nokia’s reason, sounds like a load of nonsense. iOS 7 provides a brilliant user experience for mapping solutions. Google Maps, TomTom and CoPilot all function just fine. Maybe Nokia Here maps couldn’t cope with the pressure or wanted its solution only available on its Windows Phone platform.
