In my Windows Phone I really LOVED HERE Maps, but I'm quite disappointed about Maps on Windows 10 (I own a Lumia 830 and I updated from Windows Phone 8.1 to Windows 10 Mobile).
I know that Maps use data from HERE, but the search algorithm it's not as good as on HERE, and until a few months ago the Maps user interface was rubbish. Now it's a better but still there is no alternative to Nokia Drive on Windows 10 Mobile: you simply can't (or at least I didn't find a way) to activate the drive interface without looking for a destination.
Windows Maps is less clever than HERE, for example if I look for a street named "Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, 4" (I'm Italian) often it doesn't show the nearest one to me, but it drives me some other road, often in another city. And I always need to remember to input the exact name of the street, if I just digit "Via Garibaldi, 4" (very common form of abbreviation in Italy) it doesn't show any results or it gets me a completely useless one. HERE worked all the times.
It is also not uncommon that number positioning on streets is not accurate; sadly, there were times I had to open Google Maps on Edge to look for the correct position on #34 on the street I was on, because Windows Maps was showing incorrect data and I couldn't find it by myself (that is the reason I was using a GPS navigator in the first place).
