WP8.1 Maps vs HERE Maps

[chezm]

I find MAPS (built in 8.1) is always more accurate than HERE Maps for Canadian addresses, so i stick with MS Maps App

One thing I notice though is that unlike Here Drive it doesn't speak through my Bluetooth.

I noticed this problem too. Never had a problem with WP8.0 but after updating to WP8.1, Waze has issues with Bluetooth connectivity.

I've noticed that if I already had Waze running and then connect to my Bluetooth radio, Waze will still speak directions though the phone's speaker. If you shut down Waze and restart it, it will connect through Bluetooth. So, I have to connect to my Bluetooth before starting Waze.

I have a BIG problem with BOTH Nokia HERE AND Bing maps...... Neither one can display my correct address at home OR at work. So what good are they, and how can I depend on either of these to find an exact location?
And here's the real kicker; google maps on my girlfriend's iPhone shows the correct address. Grrrr

Here's my thread on the issue (with screenshots!)

I find waze to be a serious battery killer. Way more than Here. So I deleted it.

It was but last update fixed it for me. I still prefer Navigon. MapQuest is pretty good too.

MapQuest? I haven't heard about them in a decade.

so Maps for WP 8.1 is Bing Maps right?

You can pick Bing or Here Mapping in the settings.

Bing Maps doesn't display underground stations (here in Vienna), so HERE Maps it is.

Like was stayed above...fixed! No landscape mode yet, but with my 1520, doesn't really matter.

how do you transfer favourites from here maps to maps??

You can pin Local Scout. To pin Local Scout to Start open the app, tap More ... > Pin.

Not if you have a Nokia AFAIK as the default WP maps app isn't available.
