Still feeling down about the sorry state of maps for iOS 6? Do you want to use a mapping and location service that isn't powered by Google? Then get Here. It's the newly rebranded Nokia Maps app-slash-service launched at a recently concluded event in San Francisco, and is scheduled to arrive for iOS devices some time in the coming weeks. Nokia also revealed plans to provide Android device OEMs with a Here SDK in early 2013, and mentioned plans to launch Here Maps as part of Mozilla's upcoming Firefox OS when it gets released.
