I will advice not to

kallmemrB:
why, the latest build is stable

Elxandre:

You don't get it.

Here maps is not detailed enough.
Several towns in Nigeria are missing.

Google maps has even the smallest village detailed.

Elxandre:

Lumia 950 & 950xl is said to be next.

ceaser:


Now I understand what you mean. Here is the way it works:

HERE maps has offline capabilities in which case you use pre-downloaded maps for navigation. This saves you data and also makes navigation possible in places and situations where you do not have online connection.

These offline maps are regularly updated to include more countries, more locations and more POIs as they unfold in real life situations. The implication of this is that if walmart opens in Ikoyi by October 2015, you will not immediately get Walmart as POI on your HERE offline maps until a new updated map data with Walmart included is available for download. The same applies with new roads and service lanes. Ditto newly "dualized" carriageways.

Online real time maps on the other hand is not hampered with these limitations. However it comes with it the availability of data and massive consumption of same.

Online navigation is AVAILABLE on HERE maps. Offline is not available on Google maps, although that has been in the works for over a year now without much headway. HERE maps online is therefore at par with that of google maps or any other online navigation solutions.

Try this out: When you are on a very fast network, launch your HERE maps and select Online navigation. Also select satellite view along with your options and set your destination or POI. You will be suprised to see all the cars packed around you, buildings and their roofing (even the colour of the roofs), forests, bushes and all other structures along your route will be displayed on your screen in all their glory and in real time. You may also select "Night view" to screen out some high resolution details so that only your route shows on your screen.

Elxandre:

Lol, I agree with you on its functionality.

But in terms of coverage, it's behind.
Are you saying the town I live hasn't been included after years of here maps existence?
I used Gmaps for on my N95 years ago, and it had the tiniest detail complete.

The issue is not even the lack of details, but the complete non existence of full towns!

When last did they even update the maps?
Lol.....



The 950 looks terrific though.
I hope it makes great sales.

tapingil:

Oluwadare:
I've finally laid my hands on L540,and wow! It's anything I need. Fantastic experience so far.

Honestly I don't like the animation of that home screen "People" app on WP10. It looks nicer in flipping squares/tiles of the WP8/8.1 than the bouncing circles of WP10. I hope they still have plans to go that flipping tile way.

ceaser:


Yeah. It's a nice device.

Have you heard of the L550 in the works? Though it has some nice innards, but I don't like that it will have less screen estate (4.7" ) than the 5" of the L540. In that case, I'll take the L640 over it even though the former is older.

ceaser:


Oh man, with the official announcement I just read that ut actually has the 32gig,64gig and 128gig variant and with un-f**king-believable micro SD slot in addition, supporting up to a jaw dropping 2terabytes of capacity. Ain't that crazy?

And with the USB-C and Qualcomm fast charging with it, Qi wireless charging and a lovely Continuum support, it blows the mind.

And another lovely announcement is the novel MSFT "Surface book" which, well, poops on the Macbook pro and Chrome book put together.

Elxandre:

Microsoft is ridiculous.
They keep changing all the UI and animations but we still can't see the new features they promised will come on the OS.

kallmemrB:
no be only u....am yet to see any huge diff.....its only excel and powerpoint and the overhype Edge Browser though its freaking fast and scary

Youngpo413:
you can install the whole of playstore on your windows 10,but no apps is working...isn't that a huge difference?
