Here Drive? What about the brand man? Nokia, get back to the golden ages where you were awesome. It probably won't happen again though...

it always seems stupid until you build a brand, plus its better than "nokia" which according to some people is obsolete.

m.maps.nokia.com work great on the N9.

You are right, I have just tried it and blimey... That page loads faster than the built in maps (locked my position, routed and satellite view too). Just needs 3d view imo

I think Nokia Drive will be renamed to Here Drive from what I understand...Not very sure though...
In my opinion, Nokia drive will stay, just maps will be rebranded as Here maps.
I think I read somewhere (not even sure if it's in my imagination ) that drive as an app willbe exclusive to Lumia only and of course all other things will be also better.

But if you change the word order from "Here drive" to "Drive Here" does not sound so stupid

Honestly I'm not a fan of Here...It makes it sound too generic...

If it was Nokia Here it would be understandable but removing Nokia from the equation IMO doesn't help Nokia to get mind-share among consumers of all OSes...

Isn't this why they got rid of "OVI"? And now they have Here... Learn from your history Nokia!

I to don't like rebranding the name.
Now nowbody will now (Average Joe at least), these maps are from Nokia itself.

wasn't it the plan that m$ offers NOKIA services for navigation and all that sort of things?
if so, it might simply be an other coward move from farthole to dismantle the brand and make it a "m$ division"
