Don't get me wrong - I want HERE (aka Nokia Maps), since basically they'd be implementing a locations/mapping/routing service that is very well proven.

I dont get why people takes for granted in the first place that Jolla will have an HERE maps app?

Jolla store is a place to store apps that 3party developers makes. And it has nothing to do with what Jolla will have as native apps?

But AGAIN people takes stuff for granted and Jolla community goes nuts...

For peoples info: Its not a news that that Qt has a HERE plugin support for QML (atleast for Qt4.8 Qt5 probadly in progress).

Actually Here is just a rename from NokiaMaps so we already use it on N9 and probadly can use it in nemo also as long as we can get an "APIKEY" from Nokia.

So MAY be the case is that Jolla has licensed "the key" from Nokia so apps released on the store can use HERE without license fees for developers.
