There are alternative map apps and car map/turn-by-turn apps in Warehouse, you know...

You have to wonder about a car manufacturer's dedication in mapping train, bus, walking and cycling routes though. I hope HERE gets to do these without interference from their new owners.

Thanks. No, I didn't know. And Average Joe doesn't. Average Joe wants to buy a phone, swipe down into that icon list and find a free GPS app. Not having to know that there are forums like TJC or TMO, ask there, install an app that installs unofficial (unsafe?) repositories and then choose one of that weird named apps.

I didn't say the Average Joe knows about those apps, I just presented an alternative for people reading this thread.

Ah, sorry. As you quoted all my message, I thought it was that sense.

Do you think an avarage Joe is looking for a Jolla?
He is fine with Samsung or Apple or always mentioning why "it doesnt work like on Android or IOS".

Re: HERE Maps has been sold
 

But that's what Jolla Ltd wants, I guess. And all those nice features we are loosing* in Sailfish 2.0 (swipe left-right in covers, push down to close app...) are meant to atract Average Joes.

Let's ask it the other way: can we Sheldon Coopers make Jolla Ltd. profitable?



* Fingers crossed. I hope they survive, even as "advanced custom options".

All of them tile based. None of them offline. Bah.

Re: HERE Maps has been sold
 

One of them is offline. Forgot the name. Will look it up later.
