Navigation app HERE seems to be updating their app almost every week for the past months. Today, the new features they’re adding are courtesy of the testing and feedback from the users of the beta for Android version of the app formerly owned by Nokia. HERE users will be able to enjoy long-press contextual menu and the display of intermediate stops in the transit routes, both to help you navigate around your city or a strange city more easily.
Sometimes you need a little bit more information for your destination, but you’d have to toggle back and forth from the map screen to another page, or worse, to another app. But this new feature from HERE will just let you long-press on the destination and it will bring up four options in the menu. You can get information on the place you’re going to, share them through Glympse, email, or social networks, get directions if you’re commuting, or get driving instructions if you’re, well, driving.
Another new feature is that the intermediate stops on your transit routes will now be displayed. This is easier so you can determine how many stops before you need to get off the bus or train. It also tells you when you need to go down and transfer to another line or exit from the station already. Of course there are the usual bug fixes and optimization that comes with every update.
These new features have been thoroughly vetted and tested by those who are in the beta program and who get to try out new goodies before they are set out in the wild. You can check if the update has rolled out to you by checking HERE’s Google Play page.
