Install HERE Maps APK - so it'll work
If you want to break away from the data giant, you can use HERE Maps for navigation. This practical tip shows you how to install the APK.
Android: Install HERE Maps via APK
HERE Maps for iOS and HERE WeGo for Android can be easily downloaded from the respective app store. Alternatively, you can also manually install the APK on Android.
- First download HERE WeGo as an APK file. The Android version has not been called HERE Maps since 2016.
- If you open the APK file after the download, a warning appears on the display. This means that you have to allow the "unknown sources" before the installation.
- If the warning does not lead you directly to the setting, open the "Settings" app yourself and navigate in the "Security" category to "Device management".
- Activate the "unknown origin" option and open the HERE Maps APK file again.
- Now you just have to wait for the installation. Don't forget to deactivate the "unknown origin" option afterwards as this creates a security risk.
