The beta version of the HERE navigation app has brought a lot of advanced joy to people who are dependent on apps like these as they get to try out features way before the “regular” people get to use it. And the app does give a lot of regular updates and new features so you can experiment with them while commuting or driving (just keep your eyes on the road though). This time around, they give you another Home button as well as improvement in contextualizations.
The Go Home button is a pretty useful shortcut that you can quickly access without even opening the HERE app. Once you’ve saved your home address and coordinates there, all you need to do is tap it and the app will quickly calculate the best route to there based on your current location. With the new update to the beta, you get to add another home button, in case you have two that you go to regularly or even semi-regularly.
For the contextual menu which was introduced in the previous beta update, there is a slight improvement with this new one. If you failed to read about the older update, the contextual menu feature allows you to get more information about a specific location that you long-press on the map. It gives you a shortcut menu, which includes location information, sharing options, getting directions, and starting the drive navigation. Now, you also have an option to save the location directly to your HERE Collections.
If you’re part of the beta community, then all you have to do is update your app. If you want to be a beta tester, you just need to join the beta testers group on Google Plus, then follow a few more simple steps and you’re good to go.

Sounds good. But until here maps allow you to choose own route or add waypoints, it’s pretty much useless.
