Nokia announces new location-based AR features for Here Maps

At its Nokia Lumia 1020 launch event, Nokia's just announced a new version of its Here Maps app that's bringing more features to its Livesight location-based augmented reality. On top of letting you pan around on the view finder and see descriptions and other info for stores and other landmarks as before, you'll also be able to scope them on a map at the same time. As before, the app will work without a data connection, "much to the regret of our AT&T partners." There's no firm date for the update as of yet, But Nokia said it'll launch on all its Lumia devices once its hits.
