Nokia might be looking to offload HERE Maps to whoever pays the most for it but the team is still hard at work developing new features and functionality for this impressive mapping and navigation app. Today Nokia has launched the Android Public Beta for HERE Maps which will allow users to Android to get access to new features while they’re still in development so that they can provide the team with valuable feedback before the features are released to the public.
Users who sign up for the free public beta are going to test the new interface and functionality changes before they’re released for everybody through the Google Play Store.
Sure it won’t be a stable version of the app so users might encounter a bug or an issue here and there, but that’s to be expected from a beta version, at least the early adopters will get access to new features.
The latest beta that’s being offered to Android Public Beta members brings a new user interface particularly in its context menu, users can long-press anywhere and contextual circles will pop up which lets them preview information about a location, share a place, obtain directions to that location and much more.
Those who are interested can sign up for the Android Public Beta of HERE Maps by going here.
