That's good to know, but HERE definitely is in my list of apps that lack in some critical area — in this case, POIs in my city. I guess what I want to know is, is the partnership with Nokia HERE going to be our investment in maps for the foreseeable future? As Karl mentioned, the usefulness of HERE can vary quite a lot depending on where you point it to. -- reuben _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list dev-b2g@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
