==Deletion contested - Largest Mapping service for phones== |

* '''Keep''' - This is the largest mapping service for mobile devices, and is up there, notability wise with Google Maps and Yahoo! Maps. If this was small service by a small company the deletion would've been valid. Not in this case. Proper references have also provided and this article is not selling/advertising any aspect of the Nokia Maps service. —[[User:MMuzammils|'''I'''ncident'''F'''lux]] <sup>[ [[User_talk:MMuzammils|TalkBack ]]|[[Special:Contributions/MMuzammils| Contributions]] ]</sup> 18:38, 12 October 2008 (UTC) |

As of April 2011, the 5230 (whose whole selling point was the free GPS) is no longer allowed to download Maps from Ovi, and Maps has disappeared from Nokia Beta Labs.

== Nokia Maps 3D does not use LiDAR == |
|||
The article states that Nokia Maps 3D uses LiDAR to generate its 3D maps. However, Nokia Maps actually uses C3 Technology's 3D process, which does not use LiDAR but a proprietary process involving sophisticated image processing to produce the 3D models. Viewing Nokia Maps 3D and looking at the bottom of the screen should display "C3 Technologies". A quick Google search of "Nokia" and "C3" should also reveal this. Thanks. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Wizardjoewaffle|Wizardjoewaffle]] ([[User talk:Wizardjoewaffle|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Wizardjoewaffle|contribs]]) 18:14, 8 September 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

HERE collects data in over 200 field offices, across 56 countries. We have hundreds of cars driving the |
|||
roads every day. Our most advanced vehicles capture 700 000 data points per second with their |
|||
360-degree cameras and LiDAR. As a result, our large data factories make 2.7 million changes to the |
|||
map every single day. |
|||
The acquisition of earthmine brings a new generation of equipment, but the LiDAR units are still in the field. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/50.147.238.179|50.147.238.179]] ([[User talk:50.147.238.179|talk]]) 00:16, 24 July 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

If you can find a source, that says that those cities are available on the iPad app, please go ahead and add it.

::Kashmiri, no, I'm not confusing 3D with Street View. Hydrox, believe it or not [http://here.com/3d-cities Nokia site] is NOT updated with their latest cities available in 3D.

== Merge discussion == |
|||
[[Here Map Creator]] seems to contain information that fully belongs in this article as a function or subproduct of it's subject. I propose that [[Here Map Creator]] somehow be merged into [[Here (Nokia)]]. [[User:Steel1943|<span style="color: #2F4F4F;">'''''Steel1943'''''</span>]] ([[User talk:Steel1943|talk]]) 13:50, 4 April 2014 (UTC) |

*'''Merge''' Not substantial enough article on its own compared to [[Google Map Maker]], a similar extension to [[Google Maps]]. I think it would be easier for readers to discover this content as a part of the [[Here (Nokia)]] article. --[[User:hydrox|hydrox]] ([[User talk:hydrox|talk]]) 13:59, 4 April 2014 (UTC) |
|||
*HERE is a business unit that is much broader function than HERE Map Creator, which is a single piece of software among hundreds owned by HERE. HERE provides in-car navigation systems with map data; they provide Maps for Yahoo Maps, Amazon Kindle, Bing Maps; they have apps in every major mobile phone platform. Map Creator is just one interface into the map data. While it is certainly related, this would be tantamount to classifying everything Google does under the Google page. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/50.147.238.179|50.147.238.179]] ([[User talk:50.147.238.179|talk]]) 00:03, 24 July 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

*'''Merge''' I was going through the various [https://www.here.com/business/?lang=en-US HERE offerings], and it seems HERE MapCreator is one of the offerings provided by HERE.

== It really does read like an advertisement == |
|||
I'm not saying the references aren't valid or anything, but it really does read like an ad. I think some rewording is in order to try to bring it back to a neutral point of view.

|||
HERE Maps has been acquired by a consortium of German automobile corporations, after the acquisition is complete the HERE Maps article can't be named "Here (Nokia)" anymore, I suggest a move to a new name, any ideas? --[[Special:Contributions/58.187.228.55|58.187.228.55]] ([[User talk:58.187.228.55|talk]]) 11:24, 3 August 2015 (UTC) |

== Name capitalisation == |
|||
Per [[WP:MOSTM]] the name 'HERE' should be written 'Here' on Wikipedia, '''unless''' 'HERE' is an acronym. Wikipedia does not use all-capitals or all-lowercase just because the company concerned choose to. |
|||

|||
Was it "HERE" before? As of 2016 I can only see that the official logo spells it "here". So I think the article, and particularly the phrase "(styled as HERE)" in the lede, need a workover in that respect. --[[User:BjKa|BjKa]] ([[User talk:BjKa|talk]]) 21:21, 3 April 2016 (UTC) |
|||
:Right now, the company website ( https://company.here.com/ ) consistently uses "HERE" when referring to the company. It's true that the logo spells it "here" - we'd have to ask their marketing department about that inconsistency. [[User:Sleske|Sebastian]] ([[User talk:Sleske|talk]]) 08:38, 4 April 2016 (UTC) |
|||
== Merge proposal of app article == |
|||
I am proposing [[HERE (app)]] to be merged into the company article. I don't feel like it should have a seperate article, and I believe it would fit good in the company article, particularly after its sale from Nokia. Give your opinions on [[Talk:HERE (app)#Merge proposal of app article]]. --[[User:G&CP|G&CP]] ([[User talk:G&CP|talk]]) 22:28, 4 January 2016 (UTC) |
|||
(I am a HERE employee) The company and the app should remain separate. Most of the company's business is providing map data for vehicle navigation systems, both in-dash and portable units. HERE's largest customers are automobile companies, navigation device companies, and OEMs who make navigation-related products for automobile companies. The HERE "app" is a free consumer-focused product for smartphones (Android and iOS), which accesses that same data.

*'''Comment''' - @[[User:GenQuest|GenQuest]] - was there a consensus to merge Traffic.com into Navteq instead? I didn't see any unless I'm looking in the wrong place. [[User:MikeM2011|MikeM2011]] ([[User talk:MikeM2011|talk]]) 03:31, 3 November 2023 (UTC) |

**No, {{u|MikeM2011}}, didn't think it was necessary for that whole process. The corporate acquisition of Traffic.com was by Navteq, not HERE. The renaming to HERE was a rebranding, not a merger. Since the Traffic article was small, half fluff/clutter, generally uncited, and easy to clear from the queue, I jumped on it. Of course, you can reverse if you feel my reasoning is wrong.

Merger discussion
[edit]Requesting a consensus on merging Traffic.com into this article. Here is Traffic.com's successor after Nokia acquired its former parent, Navteq; typically in these situations there aren't separate articles. The Traffic.com article is also quite dated and lacks citations, and any notable history should be integrated into the Here Technologies article. MikeM2011 (talk) 19:23, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
