    As I commented earlier, in Croatia TomTom does have some roads that are missing from HERE (all non-important),
    but if You need to find address (house number), specially in some streets that are few km long, better do it with HERE, because TomTom is almost blank in that.
    So You could be in situation to enter street on one side, and what You are looking for is on another side few km away.
    Speed limits and other warnings are also better with HERE.
    HERE (Navteq) improved much in last few years.
    Maybe reason is that Croatia is in EU (at last)

    P.S.
    I think this has nothing to do with politics, but that explains more "interest" from HERE as they are oriented on larger markets and Croatia became part of one.

    Well, this is not always the case. Turkey, for example... or Bosnian map. Bosnian local map don't have much fresh data, but routing and numbers are far better in it then in TT or here.
    Some of local providers maps are demn good. Hungarian NNG Map is an example of how map should be done.
    On the other hand, as I have already said, Greece TomTom map is even better than Epsilon.
    Definitely, this post should be guide for people who want to travel to a particular destination and see which providers are there better for that location. These data should be amounted from people who have traveled more, across the country, and had the opportunity to try out all the providers, not by those who like some maps just because they put only one, or test it only in one or two cities.
