It is majority-owned by a consortium of German automotive companies (namely Audi , BMW , the Mercedes-Benz Group ) and American semiconductor company Intel whilst other companies also own minority stakes. Its roots date back to U.S.-based Navteq in 1985, which

174-500: A 10% stake in Here. But in September 2017, the offer of the three companies failed, as US authorities did not authorize the transaction. In January 2017, it was reported that Intel was taking a 15% stake in the firm. In September 2017, HERE and Pioneer Corporation reached an agreement in which HERE would acquire approximately 3% of Pioneer's stock at a value of €17.3 million. In parallel, at

261-564: A 44% stake in the company. The 2016 Jaguar Cars XF and XJ models incorporate HERE map technology drive guidance in their in-car infotainment systems. All of the features of the HERE suite are available to the driver, including maps, navigation, and social sharing using Glympse. Another feature of HERE Auto is the ability to plan the journey from the Android or iOS app before entering the car. Country and region maps are also able to be downloaded directly to

348-420: A DBA must be registered with a local or state government, or both, depending on the jurisdiction. For example, California, Texas and Virginia require a DBA to be registered with each county (or independent city in the case of Virginia) where the owner does business. Maryland and Colorado have DBAs registered with a state agency. Virginia also requires corporations and LLCs to file a copy of their registration with

435-467: A DBA statement, though names including the first and last name of the owner may be accepted. This also reduces the possibility of two local businesses operating under the same name, although some jurisdictions do not provide exclusivity for a name, or may allow more than one party to register the same name. Note, though, that this is not a substitute for filing a trademark application. A DBA filing carries no legal weight in establishing trademark rights. In

522-1444: A combination of firmware and software updates. The latter of these include imaging improvements, new technology support, feature updates, and bug fixes. Because Lumia devices exclusively use Windows Phone, major operating system updates are often bundled with the firmware updates upon release. Similar to how Windows Phones receive operating system updates , Lumia update releases are dependent on carriers who decide if and when devices are to receive them. However, operating system updates are not subject to these constraints if users are part of Microsoft's Windows Insider or Preview for Developers programs. Lumia Amber 15 August 2013 Windows Phone 8 Update 2 ( GDR2 ) Default version for Nokia Lumia 625, 925, 928 and 1020 devices, developed by Nokia 9 January 2014 Windows Phone 8 Update 3 ( GDR3 ) Default version for Nokia Lumia 525, 1320 and 1520 devices, developed by Nokia 15 July 2014 Windows Phone 8.1 Default version for Nokia Lumia 521, 530, 630, 635, 636, 638 and 930 devices, developed by Microsoft 4 September 2014 Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 ( GDR1 ) Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 ( GDR2 ) Default version for Nokia Lumia 730, 735 and 830 and Microsoft Lumia 430, 435, 532 and 535 devices with Windows¨Phone 8.1 Update 1; default version for Microsoft Lumia 540, 640 and 640 XL devices with Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2; developed by Microsoft All devices in

609-476: A contract, invoice, or cheque, they must also add the legal name of the business. Numbered companies will very often operate as something other than their legal name, which is unrecognizable to the public. In Chile , a trade name is known as a nombre de fantasía ('fantasy' or 'fiction' name), and the legal name of business is called a razón social (social name). In Ireland , businesses are legally required to register business names where these differ from

696-566: A different update called Windows Phone 7.8. Later in September 2012, Nokia unveiled the Lumia 820 and the Lumia 920 , its first two devices to use Windows Phone 8. Both featured NFC , with the Lumia 820 embedding a microSD card slot, and an optional Wireless Charging Shell for Qi wireless charging . The Lumia 920 also notably featured Qi wireless charging, and a " PureView " camera with optical image stabilization . While Nokia received criticism when it

783-478: A leading enterprise local search service used by security and military. In April 2011, Nokia released a beta version of 3D maps that covered 20 cities in the world. By August 2011, the coverage had expanded to 23 cities, and in 2012, Nokia bought EarthMine, which specializes in street level 3D image capture. In May 2011, Ovi Maps was renamed to Nokia Maps when Nokia streamlined its services offering. In October 2011, Maps & Drive for Windows Phone 7 (Mango)

870-481: A major business partnership between Nokia and Microsoft, which would see Nokia adopt Windows Phone as its primary platform on future smartphones, replacing both Symbian and MeeGo . The deal also included the integration of Bing as the search engine on Nokia devices, and the integration of Nokia Maps into Microsoft's own mapping services . Nokia had planned to use the MeeGo platform as part of its future plans prior to

957-502: A part of the change of ownership, the social network pages have also been rebranded as Microsoft Lumia rather than Microsoft Mobile; this sought to emphasize the Windows Phone over other Nokia mobile phones while also updating social network pages of Windows Phone to the new Microsoft Lumia branding. To reflect this change, Nokia Conversations was also rebranded as Lumia Conversations , and NokNok.tv to Lumia Conversations UK. However,

1044-467: A post by a Microsoft Twitter account stated that all Nokia and Microsoft Lumia smartphones running Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 would receive updates to Windows 10 ; however, following the official unveiling, Microsoft denied this, stating that they instead were targeting the "majority" of Lumia phones and that not all phones would receive the update or support all of its features. Later, Microsoft confirmed that low-end devices with 512 MB of RAM (including

1131-401: A preferred name cannot be registered, often because it may already be registered or is too similar to a name that is already registered. Using one or more fictitious business names does not create additional separate legal entities. The distinction between a registered legal name and a fictitious business name, or trade name, is important because fictitious business names do not always identify

1218-460: A result of the growing use of touchscreen smartphones from other vendors, such as Apple 's iPhone line and Android -based products. In 2010, its market share had declined to 28%, and in April 2012, Samsung Electronics (a prominent user of Android) ultimately overtook Nokia as the largest mobile phone vendor in the world. Nokia's CEO Stephen Elop vetoed the idea of producing Android devices, believing

1305-722: A technology that will be able to alert drivers of conditions such as weather to alert other drivers of possible hazards, or to avoid a particular area whilst driving. An example is the aggregation of data from windshield wipers and slipping tires to notify other drivers to avoid an ice-filled area. The company is also investigating Humanized Driving where data is collected on driving habits on roads, and provisioning this data to allow automated cars to follow how drivers behave (speed, traffic lights, etc.) when driving on certain roads. Here has also worked with SWARCO Group (in German) in developing new technologies for intelligent speed guidance. Through

1392-413: A trade name is known as a nombre de fantasía ('fantasy' or 'fiction' name), and the legal name of business is called a razón social (social name). In Brazil , a trade name is known as a nome fantasia ('fantasy' or 'fiction' name), and the legal name of business is called razão social (social name). In some Canadian jurisdictions , such as Ontario , when a businessperson writes a trade name on

1479-471: Is augmented reality (AR) software that gives dynamic information, through the phone's camera display, about users' surroundings such as shops, restaurants, and points of interest, shown as virtual signs overlaid on or above buildings. A commercial beta version was released in 2013. It also has free of charge turn-by-turn voice-guided navigation, HERE Drive 3.0 (earlier Nokia Drive ), which can also be used without an Internet connection using preloaded maps. It

1566-638: Is also possible to de-clutter the surroundings: version 1.5 has a "Sightline" feature where users can narrow their view to just what is in the direct line of sight, making it easier to spot interesting places. HERE City Lens is powered by Bing Maps , and Nokia introduced HERE Prime Place for listing. The newest release has 3D icons and the ability to disable places which are not within the camera's line of sight. On 15 March 2016, HERE announced that it would discontinue support for its app for Windows 10 Mobile on 29 March 2016 due to its use of "a workaround that will no longer be effective after June 30, 2016", and that

1653-420: Is also working on self-driving technology. Here has built its mapping and location business by acquiring location technology; the company is a combination of what was formerly Navteq and Nokia Maps . Navteq was an American company founded in 1985 as Karlin & Collins, Inc. , later known as Navigation Technologies Corporation and eventually as Navteq. At the time of its acquisition by Nokia, Navteq

1740-412: Is available for walking directions. It also provides multiple map views including a satellite view, public transportation view and live traffic view. HERE Maps on iOS received lukewarm praise mostly because it was a web application and not a native one. HERE Maps for iOS got multiple bad reviews from the start stating it was "a mess", "a wreck", "unfinished", "buggy" and "rushed out HTML5-powered turkey". It

1827-601: Is called a razón social . Nokia Lumia Microsoft Lumia (previously the Nokia Lumia ) is a discontinued line of mobile devices that was originally designed and marketed by Nokia and later by Microsoft Mobile . Introduced in November 2011, the line was the result of a long-term partnership between Nokia and Microsoft —as such, Lumia smartphones run on Microsoft software, the Windows Phone operating system; and later

1914-548: Is designed for drivers, and map data includes 260 attributes such as turn restrictions, physical barriers and one-way streets. HERE Drive and HERE Drive+ have optional live traffic information where available, but both lack dynamic rerouting, which is restricted to everyday commuting in a few countries only and then does not come with voice guidance. HERE Transit has public transportation information for more than 700 cities in 50 countries. It combines bus, train, ferry, tram and walking information in one application. HERE City Lens

2001-650: The Lumia 610 , a new entry-level device taking advantage of the lower system requirements introduced by Windows Phone 7's "Tango" update. These new low-end devices were intended to improve Windows Phone adoption in emerging markets such as China . In June 2012, both Nokia and Microsoft received much criticism after it was revealed that the Windows Phone 7 Lumia devices will not be upgradable to Microsoft's second generation Windows Phone platform, Windows Phone 8 . It has been said that those devices won't be upgraded because Windows Phone 8 uses an entirely different kernel ( Windows NT ). The original Lumia range instead received

2088-677: The Lumia 650 , was announced by Microsoft on 15 February 2016. Sales decreased sharply after the introduction of Windows 10 in 2015 and Microsoft briefly stopped selling Lumia devices from the Microsoft Store at the end of 2016 —by which time sales were estimated to have dropped below one million units —although availability was restored at the beginning of 2017. In October 2017, Microsoft's corporate vice president, Joe Belfiore , confirmed that Microsoft would no longer sell or manufacture new Windows 10 Mobile devices. The existing devices would receive bug fixes and security updates only, ending for

2175-442: The Lumia 650 , which also runs Windows 10 Mobile, was launched. Sales of Lumia devices declined between fiscal years 2015 and 2016, with phone revenue decreasing by $ 4.2 billion or 56%. When Microsoft announced the acquisition in September 2013, 7.3 million devices were sold in the quarter, but this shrunk to 1.2 million at the quarter ending June 2016. Since the Lumia series make up 95% of total Windows Phone/Windows 10 Mobile sales,

2262-418: The Lumia 925 , a revised version of the 920 with a slimmer build incorporating aluminium, and the Lumia 1020 , which features a 41-megapixel camera based on technology from its Symbian-based 808 PureView . On 22 October 2013, Nokia extended the Lumia brand into the tablet market with the unveiling of the Lumia 2520 ; running Microsoft's Windows RT operating system, it was the company's first tablet since

2349-621: The Nokia 6 , in January 2017. Even after the acquisition of Nokia's mobile device business by Microsoft, several Lumia devices were unveiled by Microsoft Mobile in September 2014 that still carried the Nokia name, including the Lumia 830 and Lumia 735 . In July 2014, it had been reported by evleaks that Microsoft was attempting to license the Nokia name in a co-branding scheme, which would have possibly seen future devices branded as "Nokia by Microsoft". As

2436-455: The Nokia Internet tablet range. Some critics believed that the usage of Windows RT rather than full Microsoft Windows 8.1 led to bad sales, as most major Windows tablet makers have used Windows 8.1 in favour of Windows RT. Alternatively, others have claimed that the device's failure was due to its heavy weight and high price. Lumia 2520 was discontinued in early 2015. Although sales of

2523-501: The Nokia Lumia 520 , which represents 24.5% of all Windows Phone devices sold), would also get the Windows 10 upgrade, but reaffirmed that not all of its features would be supported on these devices. Additionally, Microsoft stated on January 16, 2015, that low-end Windows Phone 8.1 phones will not get some Lumia Denim features. In July 2015, Bloomberg reported that Microsoft had a planned restructuring of Microsoft Mobile, which includes

2610-459: The United Kingdom , there is no filing requirement for a "business name", defined as "any name under which someone carries on business" that, for a company or limited liability partnership, "is not its registered name", but there are requirements for disclosure of the owner's true name and some restrictions on the use of certain names. A minority of U.S. states, including Washington , still use

An exception was the Nokia 2710 Navigation Edition, which was an S40 phone with GPS and full turn by turn voice navigation. Trade name In a number of countries, the phrase " trading as " (abbreviated to t/a ) is used to designate a trade name. In the United States ,

2871-501: The Lumia line did not affect sales, though some critics believed that it might negatively influence consumers' decisions due to Nokia's established reputation for durability compared to the relative infancy of Microsoft's brand in the consumer phone space. The Nokia Lumia 638 was the last Lumia product to bear the Nokia brand, and was only released in India in December 2014. In November 2014,

2958-405: The Lumia line had exceeded those of BlackBerry in the same period, Nokia still made an operating loss of €115m, with revenues falling 24% to €5.7bn following the second quarter of 2013.

There were no QWERTY devices, although there were reports in 2012 that Nokia was working on such device similar to the Nokia Eseries . An alleged prototype device with full keyboard was leaked in 2017. The first digit (or the first two digits for devices with four-digit model numbers) indicates

3132-632: The Microsoft Lumia range. This would reportedly include a write down of approximately US$ 7.6 billion on the acquisition of Nokia's mobile phone business and a layoff of around 7,200 employees. It was also reported that Microsoft would release fewer first-party devices each year. As part of a larger restructuring, the Microsoft Devices & Studios engineering group was merged with the Operating Systems Engineering Group to form

3219-474: The Nokia brand on Lumia devices until October 2014, when it began to officially phase out the Nokia name in its promotion and production of smartphones in favor of Microsoft branding. In November 2014, Microsoft announced the first Microsoft (non-Nokia) branded Lumia device, the Lumia 535 . In October 2015, Microsoft announced the first Lumia devices running on Windows 10 Mobile , the Lumia 950 , Lumia 950 XL and Lumia 550 . The most recent Lumia smartphone,

The Lumia 900 received heavy promotion by the carrier as a flagship device , but its launch was dampened by a software bug that prevented the device from connecting to certain mobile data networks, forcing AT&T to issue credits to those who purchased

3393-418: The U.S., trademark rights are acquired by use in commerce, but there can be substantial benefits to filing a trademark application. Sole proprietors are the most common users of DBAs. Sole proprietors are individual business owners who run their businesses themselves. Since most people in these circumstances use a business name other than their own name, it is often necessary for them to get DBAs. Generally,

3480-419: The announcement, although the company announced that it would still release one MeeGo device in 2011. Aligning with Microsoft had been considered a possibility by analysts due to Elop's prior employment with the company. Nokia unveiled its first Windows Phone 7 -based devices, the mid-range Lumia 710 and high-end Lumia 800 , on 26 October 2011 at its Nokia World conference. Motivated by requests from

3654-691: The cancelled Lumia "McLaren" ). On 13 September 2013, the New York Times writer Nick Wingfield revealed that Nokia had been testing the Android operating system on its Lumia hardware. It was one of two known Android projects at the company; the other was running the OS on low–end Asha hardware, which resulted in the Nokia X family of devices. Despite the testing, the Android-based Lumia handsets were never released and only altered Asha devices were brought to

3741-462: The company wouldn't be able to suitably differentiate its Android products from that of other vendors. In an employee memo, Elop infamously described the company as being on a "burning platform", blaming the "war of ecosystems " between iOS and Android as part of Nokia's overall struggle, and asserting that the company needed to make major changes to its operation. In February 2011, Stephen Elop and Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer jointly announced

3828-669: The core of the firm's business. In addition, Here provides platform services to smartphones through Here WeGo app. It provides location services through its HERE applications, and also for GIS and government clients and other providers, such as Microsoft Bing (from 2012 through 2020), Meta Platforms , Yahoo! Maps , and the Samsung Gear S2 (and earlier models) maps app. HERE has maps of about 200 countries, offers voice guided navigation in 94 countries, provides live traffic information in 33 countries and has indoor maps available for about 49,000 unique buildings in 45 countries. The company

3915-576: The cornerstone for the company's mapping business. It then made the Smart2Go application free to download.

The two divisions remained as separate entities of Nokia Corporation until Navteq

4002-522: The county or city to be registered with the State Corporation Commission. DBA statements are often used in conjunction with a franchise . The franchisee will have a legal name under which it may sue and be sued, but will conduct business under the franchiser's brand name (which the public would recognize). A typical real-world example can be found in a well-known pricing mistake case, Donovan v. RRL Corp. , 26 Cal. 4th 261 (2001), where

4089-542: The date of purchase of the vehicle and is performed at the time of service from the car dealer. There is also the option of updating maps data via USB memory stick or memory card.

For example, at the Mondial de l'Automobile 2014 show in Paris, HERE had its maps in 50 of

4176-647: The deal, which closed in early 2014. While Microsoft will license the Nokia name under a 10-year agreement, the company will only be able to use it on feature phones : those running the Series 30 , Series 30+ and the Series 40 mobile operating systems based on Java ME and MediaTek technology, respectively. These changes resulted in future Lumia models being first-party hardware produced by Microsoft. Codenames for Lumia phones developed from late 2013 were based on James Bond movies, including "Moneypenny" (which became Nokia Lumia 630 ) and "Goldfinger" (which would be

4263-768: The decision to open up its location platform to all operating systems so that anyone with any kind of device could access it. With an open platform HERE broadens its reach and acquires more users, which in turn generates more data for its location cloud. Here developed a Here Maps API for Android which is available to partners. Apps built with the Here Android API will be able to interact with extruded 3D buildings, search for specific buildings and preview their routes in detail. In November 2012, Here created an HTML5 -based web service for iOS. The free app provides iPhone users with maps in almost 200 countries as well as public transit, walking and driving directions. Voice guided navigation

4350-400: The device's family, with larger numbers generally denoting a higher-end device. Under Nokia, numbers larger than 10 indicated a phablet (e.g. 1320 , 1520 ) or tablet ( 2520 ). Following the sale of the Lumia line to Microsoft, four-digit model numbers were discontinued, with larger models instead being denoted by an "XL" suffix (e.g. 950 XL ). The second digit indicates the generation of

4437-432: The device, based on the operating system it originally shipped with: The third digit is used to distinguish between variants in the same family and generation. 0 indicates the base model, while other numbers indicate either a minor upgrade (e.g. 920 and 925 ), a 4G-capable variant (e.g. 730 and 735 ) or a regional or carrier-specific variant. An optional "C" or "T" suffix indicates a variant produced exclusively for

4524-465: The device. Upon its launch in April 2012, the Lumia 900 was listed as a top seller on Amazon.com , but online sales began to taper off by May. While not revealing further details, a Nokia representative stated that the company was "pleased with the consumer reaction, as well as the support we have received from AT&T", while AT&T's mobility chief Ralph de la Vega stated that the Lumia 900 had "exceeded expectations". In early 2012, Nokia released

4611-428: The entity that is legally responsible . Legal agreements (such as contracts ) are normally made using the registered legal name of the business. If a corporation fails to consistently adhere to such important legal formalities like using its registered legal name in contracts, it may be subject to piercing of the corporate veil . In English , trade names are generally treated as proper nouns . In Argentina ,

4698-506: The existing Windows Phone 8 app would receive only critical updates after that date and no longer be actively developed. HERE was available on the Symbian platform under the previous names of Nokia Maps , and Ovi Maps . The latest, and the last, version 3.09 included: Nokia stated that the Nokia 808 from 2012, would be the last Symbian phone. Symbian development has halted, therefore no new features for Nokia Maps are to be expected. Accenture

4785-499: The fact that there is a traffic jam up ahead. Data is updated every minute and is yet another way in which data collected is used to the benefit and safety of drivers. In June 2015, Here published an interface specification named the Sensor Ingestion Interface Specification. This standard defines how sensor data gathered by vehicles on the road can be sent to the cloud to update maps on the fly. The premise of

4872-582: The figure in North America compared to the previous quarter. At the same time, overall Windows Phone market share hit double figures in several countries in Europe and other regions. On 3 September 2013, Microsoft announced its intent to acquire Nokia's mobile phone business (including rights to the Lumia and low-end Asha brands) in an overall deal of over US $ 7bn. Stephen Elop stepped down as Nokia's CEO and returned to Microsoft as its head of devices as part of

4959-538: The flash-based storage of the HERE Auto system itself, much like the ability to store offline maps on devices using the Android/iOS HERE apps. HERE MapCare was first implemented with Volvo vehicles in 2009 and has since spread to at least 23 other manufacturers (such as Hyundai, Mazda and Mitsubishi) utilizing HERE maps data in their infotainment systems. HERE map data is updated for a period of around three years from

5046-523: The for-profit, business mapping observatory EIXOS . Here makes its location-based assets, such as offline maps, available for the Microsoft Windows platform through a dedicated Windows SDK. Because the suite runs on Windows, users can save their favorite destinations as live tiles to their start screen and the app will calculate routes based on current location. The suite is integrated so that users can access individual functions going from one app to

5133-579: The future of location-based services and its belief in the importance of mapping. In June 2014, Here announced that it had acquired Medio , a Seattle-based start-up that specialized in predictive analytics . In 2014, Windows Phone 's low market share, as well as the end of Nokia's partnership with Microsoft, led to the company prioritizing Android and iOS development. Here launched the HERE beta app for Samsung Galaxy smartphones in August 2014. Later in October

5220-514: The larger Windows & Devices Engineering Group. In July 2015, it was announced that the head of Surface , Panos Panay, would head the new Microsoft devices unit, which would include the Microsoft Lumia as well as various other Microsoft hardware products such as the Band , HoloLens , and Xbox .

5307-470: The latest devices in December 2019. The Lumia 650 was Lumia's last device, although Lumia 750 and 850/650XL were at the last steps before production at the time but ultimately were cancelled. The Lumia 950 was Microsoft Mobile's last Lumia flagship and the last Windows Phone flagship device. A supposed successor called Microsoft Lumia 960 (codenamed Northstar ) was reportedly canceled while being in its prototype tests level. The next Microsoft phone release

Several other states, such as Illinois , require print notices as well. In Uruguay , a trade name is known as a nombre fantasía , and the legal name of business

5481-483: The market. In July 2014, Microsoft announced that it would discontinue the majority of its Nokia-branded devices, including the Asha, S30, S40, and X platforms, in favor of low-cost Lumia devices inheriting their design. This left S30+ as Microsoft's only remaining Nokia-branded phone platform until it was sold to HMD Global in May 2016, who, the following February, would announce the first Nokia-branded true Android phone,
