Lumia 520 & 720 Appears on Nokia Search, Devices Coming with HERE Maps
Nokia Lumia 520 and Nokia Lumia 720 are confirmed as they appear on Nokia Search results talking about two specific things. One talks about the LiveSight options in Here Maps while the other talks about updating latest here maps version on Lumia 720 and Lumia 520. Below are the exact context :
Why don’t I have the LiveSight option available in HERE Maps on my Lumia 520? – Nokia FAQ
The LiveSight feature in map views is not available in Lumia 520 because the phone doesn’t have a magnetometer. The LiveSight feature requires magnetometer and the feature is therefore not available on Lumia 520.
How do I update to the latest HERE Maps version on my Lumia 520 and 720 phones? – Nokia FAQ
If you have HERE Maps 3.2 installed on your phone, Store doesn’t automatically offer an update to this version. To update from HERE Maps v3.2, you need to uninstall the old version first and then install the latest version from Store:
- In Apps menu, long press HERE Maps and select uninstall.
- Go to Store and search for HERE Maps in Nokia Collection or use the Store search command.
- Install the latest HERE Maps version.
One of the feature that Nokia Lumia 520 will miss is the Magnetometer because of which the Live sight feature will not work in 520 while it will be available in Nokia Lumia 720.
Here maps will have a different version which will allow automatically update. This is interesting because Windows Phone 8 does not have automatic updates. Instead you need to manually check for new updates.
