The maps themselves are well defined with the highlighted route made very clear. There are big, bold directions at the top of the screen, with the next turning named in a decent-sized font, and voice guidance arrives in ample time. The HERE driving interface is the clearest of any of the three on test here. HERE also offers a range of “hi-fi” voices that are much clearer than the scratchy narration that is installed by default – they’re free and take up another 55-65MB of storage space, depending on the language you choose. Those who are really tight for space can download individual countries (England is 547MB by itself) or simply download the maps on demand over 3G/4G. You’ll need around 10GB of free storage to download maps for the whole of Europe, although only 673MB for the whole of the UK. You might need to clear a bit of storage space on your smartphone, mind. That’s not only a boon in areas with iffy 3G signals, it also means you can find your way on foreign trips without relying on extortionate data roaming charges. HERE’s huge advantage over its two rivals is its downloadable maps, making it the only satnav app on test here that can get going without a data signal.
It’s out in beta now for Android, with an iOS version on the way. Nokia HERE is a newcomer to the satnav scene for most drivers, having previously been restricted to Windows Phone handsets.
