HERE Maps nun im Windows Store, jedoch nur für Lumia Tablets

Bei der Ankündigung des ersten Nokia-Tablets, dem Lumia 2520, verkündete die finnische Firma auch die Portierung des Nokia Kartendienstes HERE Maps auch für Microsofts Tablet- und PC-System Windows 8.

Ab heute ist diese nun auch verfügbar, jedoch nur für das, hierzulande, noch nicht erhältliche Tablet Lumia 2520, bzw. folgende Nokia-Tablets.

Die Screenshots aus dem Store zeigen eine tolle App mit viel Potential.

Hier die englische Beschreibung aus dem Store:
