After using the Here app for years, I am completely disappointed in the new interface. I suspect it uses more memory than the last version, causing the app to crash on my basic smartphone. I enjoyed the simplicity of the original Here app which worked. Now, it takes forever just to load a single address, and I fear a search like "McDonald's" with many locations.

Its a very useful offline map while exploring places and using navigation for walking across city blocks. 3D map with building layout helps very much to identify the landmarks and path to follow. Now talking about the navigation, its annoying sometimes. When a desired route is selected, sometimes you have to make some detour to bypass the commute hour traffic or other obstacles. So Here map is constantly trying to put me back to the originally selected track. Its fine to show a road for some period of time so that you can stay on the previously selected track. However this stubborn suggestion lasts until all possible route to the previous path is exhausted. And you can see the ETA is greatly changed by doing this. So the suggestion here is to let the user continue on current track after some number of attempts. Its a nice to have feature to show a message to the user whether they want to stay in same route or are they trying to get back to original route selected.

It very excellent to have offline and online features. Love the user friendly features and love the speed cam alerts on maps while driving. On par with Waze and Google maps. Really like the Here Maps Creator where individual are allowed to add/edit and report places. But one Downfall is it takes time for here Maps internal team to verify and update. Considering the amount of missing places on Here maps- here maps internal team should verify and update the here maps which a individual has submitted. Over all an amazing app.

Simply because it: 1. Respects user privacy unlike Google and other American cos. 2. Offers offline maps that work just as good without internet. 3. Offers voice navigation. 4. Offers traffic insights and speed alerts. 5. Well-thought user interface and well-designed maps. What can make it better: 1. Collections feature should not require a Here account. Allow users to bookmark and save specific locations on their device itself. Offer Here account to sync and save this data to the the cloud and multiple devices. 2. Needs a "Railway mode": Even though Here maps has railway networks mapped, it cannot detect when I am travelling by Indian Railways even if I specify my source and destination as railway stations. If the user is allowed to switch to a "Railway mode" Here maps can show the user the railways network on the map and alert them (by voice or notification) whenever the next railway station is about to be reached. 3. Maps need to be updated more frequently in India. We've added more than 50,000 kms of new roads and many cities now have Metros too. But Here maps has been slow to update these in my country. For example, Here maps still doesn't have information on Metro stations in Bangalore (KA, India) and Kochi (KL, India).
