Facebook Testing Nokia Mapping Solution for its Mobile Apps

Facebook is working with Nokia’s HERE mapping division to power its mobile maps. The social network is using HERE maps and geocoding for its mobile version, while conducting tests for apps such as Instagram and Messenger. According to TechCrunch: “Businesses use Facebook as part of their advertising and marketing operations and offering ads based on specific locations, or other location-based services, gives Facebook more ways to build up their relationships (and revenues) with these businesses.” The Finnish company has confirmed it is considering a sale of HERE, which has an estimated value of $2 billion. Potential buyers include Apple, Baidu, Alibaba, Samsung, and Uber, among others.
