Of course, it’s still relatively early days for the devices, but that said there is a lot that can be said of positive merit about the Lumia , as well as other Windows 8 powered devices. However, no matter how good an operating system is, it still needs plenty of apps and good ones at that. Of course, one of the most important apps to get right is the map app – so, what does Windows offer in terms of this kind of application?
