Uploaded today, has like zero reviews or anything so far, so must be coming out of beta?

EDIT: Samsung Apps developer name is HERE Europe B.V. the play store one is mobilederus

beta only started 2 days ago afaik

Not marked on play as beta, and Googles got rules for running betas on the site, you need to be part of the google community and opt-in first.

Works very well just tested it. It's gonna be a toss up between this and Garmin StreetPilot. Will download the maps tomorrow to work off line. I got T4A to work on StreetPilot will see if they are compatible to this system.

HERE works pretty well. Recalculates very quickly. The alternative routes and traffic information seems solid. Still have to download the maps for offline usage.

o nevermind, see it has a lot of embedded meta data that other maps won't have.

Different level of detail as opposed to the standard. If I am going cross country or backpacking across Southern Africa these have more suitable poi than the standard maps.
