Sean Fernback, President of HERE, said: "We want to bring our maps and services

smartphone or smartwatch. Bringing the HERE experience to iOS is a natural step
for us as we now extend our reach to all major mobile platforms."
Nitesh Patel, Director, Wireless Media Strategies at Strategy Analytics, said:
"Extending the reach of its apps to both Android and iOS is the right move for
HERE. The company has leading capabilities in the field of digital maps and
location, and making them available through free apps to as many people as
possible will not only help in growing its reach to consumers, but will also
have benefits for other parts of HERE's business. In both automotive and
enterprise markets, people's familiarity with HERE services will help build a
platform for success in the age of the connected car and the internet of
