We guess everyone reading this article is aware of Google Maps and its Navigation. There is another rival called Here Maps developed by Nokia which is giving tough competition to Google Maps with its offline maps feature. Even though Google Maps provide offline access it is not efficient as that of Here Maps.
Here Maps allows user to download the maps as per country, region and city. For instance, HERE makes a point that you can download the entire state of California for less than 540MB.
HERE lets you download offline maps by state but Google Maps will only let you download one selected area at a time.
This offline feature of Here Maps allows to route directions, find locations and even navigate to the destination without internet. Isn't that amazing.

HERE offline navigation also helps when you are travelling through places with internet connectivity issues. HERE definitely offers a competitive package worthy of competing with Google Maps.
At Google I/O this year, Google promised full offline Maps by the end of the year. Soon, HERE maps will have much more to compete with.
