From Android Authority:
Hmm, so Nokia maps is available now on Windows Phone and on Amazon's kindle right out of the box and soon will have an app for iOS. There is definitely a hole to be filled on the iOS camp when it comes to Maps, as Apple Maps has disappointed many and they are all looking for alternative solutions. I really hope that Apple does not holds out approving the Google Maps app for iOS out of spite while giving the Nokia maps a pass to come out first.
"Nokia has announced its latest strategy pertaining to its trademark Nokia Maps service by re-branding it as ?Here? and launching beyond the Windows Phone platform. Here will come to iPhone/iOS as a dedicated maps app, whereas Android will get an open source developers kit, so that developers can use Here data on native maps applications. Here will also feature a web-version supporting Firefox OS in the coming year.
[...]
Nokia is keeping its fingers crossed to launch Here on iOS before the approval of Google Maps for the platform. As for the Android OS, a date for the developers? kit has not been confirmed yet."
