Nokia has released its new HERE Maps application for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
HERE Maps helps you feel like a local anywhere you go. See where you are, search and discover nearby places, and get a feel for the place. Collect places to remember or for later discovery. Explore new destinations and know instantly how to get there on foot, by car or on public transport. HERE Maps is based on the world-class NAVTEQ mapping data used in 90% of in-car navigation systems in the world.
Features: • Map views – Pick the map you need from map view, live traffic view, public transport line view or satellite view • Save map areas & wander without data coverage
• In selected countries, access community maps created and updated by users • Maps, search and place coverage for nearly 200 countries
• Search with history and suggestions • Share places with just a tap, including the location and how to get there, over SMS, email, or social networks
• Organize places you love into Collections • Sign in to HERE Maps with your Nokia Account or Facebook login • Sync with Here.net – Access your Collections anywhere
• Step-by-Step voice-guided walk navigation • Walk navigation through pedestrian routes, parks, alleyways, and more • Public transportation and driving directions
You can download HERE Maps from the App Store for free.

perhaps they know if they use current maps for the samples, lawyers, companies and anyone else that will pay a lawyer to bring a lawsuit to court will do so.
Now, why build this app without retina display or for the screen of the iphone 5? The app looks like it was built for a 10 year old Nokia with X too small to even hit with a finger...DUH!
At least outside of the states IOS maps is way better.. all hype no substance...
