Will Windows Maps still work after HERE maps leaves WP?

[thron]

In June, Here Maps is leaving Windows Phone and it is my understanding, the Windows Maps app utilize Here maps in some way - so after Here is gone, will Windows Maps remain up to date or will that app too, become obsolete?

Microsoft license the data in a seperate deal (as opposed to Here app development), so unless the Audi/BMW/Daimler consortium that bought Here from Nokia go nuclear it won't affect the native maps app.
