If Audi can provide HERE maps in my A4 then I'd be super happy about this acquisition!

AnonD-416078, 03 Aug 2015If Audi buys it does that mean Volkswagen can use it as well :PSeeing how Audi is a VW company, I sure think VW will use it. And they say other customers across other industries will be allowed to use it.

Will that mean they'll remove HERE maps apps?

Would be interesting to know if this deal includes a licence for Nokia to use it on future devices they might release. That could explain the relatively low price

Good move. Better to keep the maps IP in EU. Could be a potential win win when Nokia decides to enter phone business again.

Dont know what to think of this. I expect maps to get worse, but then again those are some big names
