What happens to Jolla's Here maps after Nokia's sale of Here?
Nokia is selling Here maps. What will happen to the Jolla maps app and other apps using Here maps? Are Jolla's contracts such that the new owner has to continue the deal with Jolla?
EDIT: This does of course not only affect the maps app itself, but also all other apps using the Here maps service (e.g. JollaOpas). Updated accordingly.
Poor Maps and Modrana(?) provide more or less similar functionality. The main advantage of Nokia nav application is map downloading which is not supported from the current map application.
