Thanks for the rec! How's the experience compared to the big names in terms of efficiency/UX/etc in your opinion?

  HERE WeGo is built by HERE maps which creates maps for the navigation industry. They have been at it for over 30 years. So it's not some new company that is figuring out maps. The UI is good, especially when navigating. Before I travel everywhere, I like to use the collections feature to keep track of all the places I want to go to. Looks like they recently did a whole UI update. I need to look at that more (judging from the reviews, older users don't like the new changes, but that's true of any software, people don't like you moving their cheese). (disclaimer: I used to work there).

  A warning. I just downloaded this to try it out. To test I searched for directions to a location I travel to often. The directions didn't even get me out of my neighborhood before telling me to turn left onto a median divided road which doesn't have a gap in the median to allow turning left at that particular intersection. No other mapping app I have tried has ever made this mistake. EDIT: For giggles I tried a few more mapping apps and websites for the same directions. No others made this same mistake but Bing Maps and MapQuest want me to drive on the jogging path around a pond which separates my neighborhood from the next and then use the streets in that neighborhood to get to the main road. I think both sites used base map data from TomTom.

    For about 7 years Google Maps couldn't give me directions from my house to work. Not that they gave the wrong directions, no, literally couldn't give me any route. Any mapping company has errors for individuals. Question is, in aggregate are they better or worse.
