What I mean by that is that when it comes to the quality of the directions and the ease by which they can be followed HERE is much better.

I agree that finding the destination itself on HERE to start the navigation and POI need more work.

Could you more specific about “winning”? Is it accuracy of the points of interests database, search algorithm (Google is very good at ignoring typos to locate what you meant to seek), accuracy of road maps (in which country?), better routes to destinations or the user interface of the app?

1) I did not know that.

2) Yes. I have tested Apple/Google and Here against each other. on Turn by turn HERE wins every time.

1) HERE is default on Firefox OS handsets too. Not just Windows Phone.

2) You write “This app. is reliable and effective and much better than Google Maps”. This is a great point but do you have evidence to back that up?

Thank You.
