HERE Maps (called 'Here WeGo' on the App Store) is usually better than Google maps for me in a car, at least in Europe. It's owned by the German car industry and used to be Nokia maps.

Prior to being bought by Nokia, HERE was Navteq. The very early version of Google maps actually included a notice that data was licensed from Navteq -- I learned of Navteq from Google Maps. I believe Bing maps also licensed data from Navteq.

just a quick check for a route in my (european) city showed it tries to route me through a road closed 5 months ago, and doesnt even know my 4 years old house exists. this isnt the case with gmaps id really like to use less google, but unfortunately gmaps doesnt appear to really have a viable alternative for my (pretty common) use case of traffic-aware city navigator
