Possibly a bit off topic, nevertheless also on topic.
I spent a week in Spain recently on vacation. On a city walk, I sort of got lost and did not know which street to take to get to my destination, a panoramic view. As on more vacation places I visited, street signs were nowhere to be found.

My smartphone is equipped with Primo Android and TT2015.03, also with (Nokia) HERE software plus maps.
To find my further route, I activated the GPS, first HERE. With the result that I was in that place on a unknown street that was a dead end. And obviously it was not.
On Primo, the street had a name (Calle something) and was not a dead end at all. Switching between the two apps showed me that the HERE app showed few streets nearby while Primo (TomTom) showed plenty. The view I was looking for just was about 200meters further, around the corner, a corner that only Primo and TomTom showed me.

Maybe a not that important experience in this whole thread, a local flaw perhaps, but again I can do no different than prefer TomTom above HERE.

Please note I do not break down HERE maps. I am convinced that I always will find my destination whatever HERE or TT. So far, I just haven't found any opportunity to say that HERE is better than TomTom.

I haven't tested the latest versions of TT or Here maps, but in Portugal, TT always seem more complete, with more streets. Also, there are more street names than in Here maps...
