Quite recently, Microsoft decided to abandon its user's favorite Here Maps application giving the users a shock rather than a surprise. This move will mostly affect users on Windows 10 operating system and also those who are using Windows Phone. However, to calm down the users, the Redmond-based company has now decided to bring an "exciting update" for the Windows 10 Maps app.
One must not forget that there's a wider base of audience that still prefers to use Windows over any other Linux platform and hence the entire community suffered a blow when Here announced that it is ditching Microsoft's Windows 10 and Windows Phone platforms, but it appears, Microsoft plans to ramp up its mapping service to give its users something they can hold on to.
This latest news has also been confirmed by User Dave_MSFT who is a verified Microsoft employee, and he has assured users that the Redmond giant has an "exciting update" for the Windows 10 Maps app planned for them. In its statement, Dave said that the forthcoming update to the Insider builds will bring improvements to the drive mode among other features.
"We will also be addressing other top feedback I have been collecting from you guys as well as the Windows Feedback app in this update and in updates to come. We are exploring options around the arrow on the location marker (compass). Being able to search along the route is a great suggestion that I will bring back to the team. I will take your other feedback to the team as well! For speeding notifications, check your settings, we only alert you if you have the audible alert enabled and are over a threshold that you set."
It is worth a mention that the company Here recently announced that it will be pulling the app from the Windows 10 Store on March 29, 2016, and from June 30, 2016, the app will be officially disabled. Additionally, the company said that it will also limit the development of the apps for Windows Phone 8 to critical bug fixes.
