HERE Maps for Windows Phone receives updated offline map data

Nokia has released updated offline map data for HERE Maps for Windows Phone. While the changes have not been detailed, it is assumed that the update brings new routes, refreshed pedestrian paths, corrections, new POI data or fixes.

The update comes just days after Microsoft released updated offline map data for their own Maps for Windows Phone. Since Microsoft's solution is also powered by HERE, it makes sense that the official app is also updated.
