Does anyone know what the implications are for the phone application? Its default map application on the Ubuntu phone, and although its missing some features, its quite nice overall.

It is default maps application on Windows Phones too (at least that were nokia, now lumia). And for me it is the best maps app working offline.

osmand does a good enough job for me, used it recently on a cross-european motorcycle trip.

edit: i should have been clearer, osmand isn't just "good enough" - it is brilliant.

I'm also a huge fan of OsmAnd, it has many outstanding/unique features that other map solutions neglect to offer (albeit some features are a bit hidden).

    In no particular order, things that I like:
    - Wikipedia (offline). Discover articles by location
    - Topographic maps (nice for hiking)
    - speed camera warnings
    - completely free & open source
    - you can alter the options, add your own POIs, etc.
    - draw tools, use polylines to measure distances
    - find any POI by name, category or location (they're *all* indexed)
    - copy a position's latitude/longitude to the clipboard
    - start route from a distant starting point (instead of current location)
    - discover opening hours of shops/etc.
    - launch calls from a POI's attached contact number
    - public transport (nice for city trips)
    - GPX logging
    - tools to support OpenStreetMap editing
    - route along saved .gpx/.kml track
    - ...

While it had been available exclusively for Android for a long time, there's now an iOS version as well.

EDIT: Formatting

PS: In the past I've even gone so far as to add phone numbers to my favourite pizza deliveries on OpenStreetMap to be able to call them using OsmAnd.

They failed to release to Windows Phone, though.

As someone who is using both HERE maps and Ovi maps on my smartphones, I wondering that as well.

[zamalek]

Quite concerning because HERE is so good: it'd be a big pity to lose it.

I wonder what it means for Mazda/Toyota/Nissan/Mistubishi/etc owners with factory installed HERE Maps powered navigation systems, now owned by their manufacturers competitors?
