Well i'm not going to bash but sorry i've had the opposite and i work in one of the biggest cities in the US and HERE is better, I also do not use google on android i use google maps on their website which should be more up to date, I drive for a living i drive over 250-300 miles a day, as a professional driver i can tell you that google is not better here maps is much better at least with accuracy, there is certain times google will have streets that HERE doesnt but they are in the wrong place, i have run about 11-13 stops a day and look up addresses for each and everyone, anytime i cant find an address on googles maps on their website i check on my phone and HERE has it 9/10 times. I can tell you this and i've noticed this as a glitch, if you try to search and address in HERE maps alot of times it doesnt come up that doesnt mean HERE doesnt have it, the search is broken. But I dont use it like this, 90% of the time i type the entire address in because i know what it is, if your just using search and nothing comes up there a chance its there you just have to hit search anyway and it will come up, its somewhat glitchy that way. As far as HERE having the biggest collection i dont think normal consumers realize how big navteq is, nokia bought them at an they were the leading provider for GPS maps in the world, navteq also bought out several smaller companies, its not a ****** opinion its a fact they have more data worldwide, google does sometimes get data faster in the US but nokia is working in way more countries than google, so they have a bigger database to update than google. I'm not saying its better in every area like others said some areas are better with one service some with another but both are way better than apple. Its like cell service even though verizon may have bigger overal coverage, certain arears other companies have BETTER coverage. This doesnt mean verizon sucks or they have less coverage. When it comes to maps there are only a few players and navteq/nokia is the biggest. GARMIN, BMW, MERCEDES, handful of other cars, and like othesr navigon and half the 3rd party GPS apps are all powered by navteq/nokia. Google only provides or online websites very few use google for 3rd party maps, cause they tend to get their data wrong as placement of streets. Business info and POI google wins, but those are less important to me cause i need address accuracy for driving.
