Google Maps may be one of the undeniable strengths of the Android platform,
however Samsung has decided to offer an alternative in the form of Nokia's
Here maps. A beta version of Here for Android
http://360.here.com/2014/08/29/here-samsung-galaxy-android/ will be made
available exclusively for Samsung Galaxy devices when the newly announced Gear
S http://www.theverge.com/2014/8/27/6076909/samsung-announces-gear-s
smartwatch
http://www.theverge.com/2014/8/27/6076909/samsung-announces-gear-s hits
stores in October. The Gear S will include Here turn-by-turn pedestrian
navigation and will be able to sync its routes with compatible handsets.
The partnership bringing Here to Samsung's Android smartphones is just an
extension of the same licensing agreement that provides the mapping
functionality on the Korean company's Tizen-powered smartwatch.

Google and Samsung's relationship has been growing increasingly fractious
in recent times. Efforts like the Google-free Gear S and the perpetually
delayed

Tizen

smartphone
http://www.theverge.com/2014/7/11/5890017/samsungs-tizen-phone-delayed-yet-again
show Samsung's commitment to diversifying away from its dependence on
Android and the rest of the Google ecosystem for its device sales. Here for
Android is a small step on the same path, though it's debatable how much of
an impact it will have. The iOS Here app was pulled from the App Store
http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/27/5248930/nokia-pulls-outdated-here-maps-for-ios-citing-compatibility-issues
late last year, having originally been announced alongside an Android
software developer kit
http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/13/3640938/nokia-here-maps-android-ios-mozilla-os
back in November 2012. Nokia also makes a big deal out of the web version
of Here that all mobile devices can access without a dedicated app, though
it doesn't seem to have made much of a dent in Google's dominant position.

Today's announcement identifies offline capabilities and performance as the
leading advantages of the Here for Android app, although that leadership
has been significantly eroded by Google's most recent Maps update, which added
offline map support
http://www.theverge.com/2014/5/6/5687454/google-maps-app-update-offline-support-lane-guidance-uber
and lane guidance for drivers. Still, more choice never hurt anyone, right?
