Question about removal of Sailfish Maps app

Dear Jolla,

I would be quite interessted why the Maps app (sailfish-maps) cannot run on my Intex phone as I'm used to have it running on my Jolla.

The app is not anymore in the Jolla store catalog as well as after updating the app gets removed.

After updating to 2.0.5.6 the following packages got removed and I could not install the sailfish-maps package anymore because of the missing dependencies. The dependencies could not be installed anymore from the used sources.

qt5-plugin-geoservices-nokia;5.2.1+git12-1.27.1;armv7hl;installed
qt5-qtdeclarative-import-location;5.2.1+git12+upgrade205-1.29.1;armv7hl;jolla
sailfish-maps;1.1.22-10.38.6.jolla;armv7hl;installed

Could you please clarify if and what would be the reason for doing that? I tought it was part of the operating system as used by other applications (contacts) as well!?

I'm also wondering if we'll now get slowly forced to use the one or other android software!? Until this point I was able to use the SMART phone as such ... without android support.

Another question would be as well. What Sailfish OS native application could I use instead (should also be able to have the phonebook support as before)!?

Thank you.

Kind regards, megalith
