HERE Maps ditches Windows 10 to favour Android and iOS
HERE's Maps service was originally optimized for the mobile tech industry but the firm's decision to exit Windows may signal a permanent shift from mobiles to automobile navigation. "It's suicide for a business to cut off their "fanbase" in one fell swoop".

There is no word on when that update will be officially available to Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile users. We'll keep you updated, however, so check back often.
