"... we made the HERE apps compatible with Windows 10 by using a workaround that will no longer be effective after June 30, 2016"
What changes are happening on that date that will break their apps? Is that when Redstone is going to be released?
TBH, I've been expecting this was going to happen, as the Here apps are the last to go. Of the apps that were in Windows Phone 8, the ones that weren't Microsoft ones (Lumia apps, Here Apps, MixRadio, etc.) have either been merged into Microsoft Apps or deprecated.
It's not necessarily a bad thing as there was too much duplication before, which was messy and confusing, I.E. Here Maps, Here Transit, Here Drive, Microsoft Maps. So having it all in one app that can be used across all devices makes more sense. Maybe a bit of a bummer for people in countries where the Windows Maps voice navigation doesn't work as well as Here Drive did. And I also think the Windows Maps app needs to have a 'Driving Mode' where it acts more like a full screen in-car Navigation system (like Here Drive).
Still gutted that MixRadio was deprecated though, as that functionality wasn't merged into Groove Music. Just need a way to remove old apps from the Windows Store library now, as I seem to have more apps that 'Don't work on this device' than apps that 'Work on this device'. :)
