THANK YOU!
Here are three of the best and most-requested.
Many of you use devices without a GPS chip (e.g. a desktop PC) and if that’s the case, HERE Maps for Windows 8.1 relies on network positioning. But if your ISP or your business network provides us with incorrect information, you can now manually set your position when you open the app, by tapping on the green dot indicating your position on the map or in its settings panel.
One of the most-used features of HERE Maps for Windows 8.1 are the city pages, which allow you to explore what’s good in your neighbourhood or wherever you’re going. We redesigned them to make them even more relevant and to bring exploration to the foreground
We also improved the way you interact with the map and plan your routes. In fact you can now change route options to avoid modes you don’t want e.g. ferries or toll roads.
You can also add waypoints to your route and rearrange them via drag-and-drop, very useful if you’re planning a road trip to visit many places. And by the way, you can now also print your route.
Perhaps you’re planning to visit a client in the afternoon but you want to make a stop on your way there in a nearby restaurant. That’s easy with HERE Maps for Windows 8.1, because you can explore places around your route and automatically add them as waypoints.
And, yes, HERE Maps for Windows 8.1 is now available globally.
