All my favorites are currently in HERE maps. I am still deciding which maps app to use. The new default maps for WP8.1 seems very good. What do you guys think?
And when I look at Maps and Here Maps, they seem to use the same exact 3d graphics...are they truly different? I've only ever had Here up until yesterday when 8.1 added Maps, so I really don't know.
Stock maps loads faster too. I think I am going to transfer all my favorites to the stock app.I prefer the built-in Microsoft Maps app in 8.1. It shows POIs on the map, actually works with 3D buildings, uses the compass by default, and has direct access to Local Scout.
The only thing that I find that Here Maps does better is walking directions, as it follows along with you while you walk (similar to driving directions but without the voice).
Plus, Cortana uses the stock 8.1 Maps for questions like "Where am I" and I hate the redundancy of having both. (Of course, for questions that say "navigate to" or "drive to" it sends you to whichever choice you've made as default which for me is Here Drive.)
Too bad you cannot pin local scout. I think I like the 8.1 maps over HERE maps. Never really liked the name of it.
well the stock maps app should be axed imo, making here the default app is the logical step
