Microsoft has added tweaks to Windows 10 Maps that improves search and driver interface.
The update will enable users to view multiple search results on the same map, follow redesigned turn-by-turn instructions when driving, and see favourite spots offline. For example you can see both restaurants and hotels on the same map.
The go to maps app for Windows Phone was Here, but it will soon be incompatible. “We made the Here apps compatible with Windows 10 by using a workaround that will no longer be effective after June 30, 2016,” explains Here spokesperson Pino Bonetti. “To continue offering the HERE apps for Windows 10 would require us to redevelop the apps from the ground up, a scenario that led to the business decision to remove our apps from the Windows 10 store.”
The update will be available to Windows Insiders first, with no indication for a general rollout. They’ll have to be quick as Here pulls out on March 29th.
