Nokia's HERE navigation available on Android

Here is the link to Noki's navigation app HERE. It takes you to the Samsung Store, which is currently the only place where the app is available for download:

App Download | HERE

The app's .apk file can be found on the Internet, too, for those who don't have a Samsung device (I do but with a custom ROM flashed, so no access to Samsung Store).

For those of you wishing to test the maps only, check it out online: http://here.com/
