Thread: iGO: which map is better in your country?

That is interesting indeed. Maybe I have been too harsh on TomTom, after that "traumatic" experience. TomTom was my favorite for along time.

You know I am going to give it another chance and try the newer version. And I let you know.

I do understand your experience. In my answer, I only gave 2 examples, i can give many more examples that TomTom clearly wins, Yet I must admit that TomTom isn't perfect. And flaws happen. I have seen some map faults in TomTom, faults that weren't present in a previous or next edition. How come? I don't know. I also did experience they incorporate (bigger) road works, so maybe that is what you experienced? Consider that road works end or are postponed, but the map can be made, ....

What I do know about Here is (so far) that the map maker is very consistent, the same errors live on during years and years. Don't they check error reports ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Why?, who knows?.

Read the comments for bigger countries, where users say that in this part one map is better, in that part the other, or inside the city use this map, outside that map.

I vote HERE for Hungary. It does have more buildings also more accurately follows the modifications of the roads.

NZ TT maps are more detailed than HERE maps. Used to be an adamant HERE user - tried TT, allegiance changed.

Romania -HERE is better.

And in Italy? What is the best map? Here (Navteq) or Tomtom (Teleatlas)?

Malta: HERE, although not perfect, seems to be more uptodate than TomTom. It's disconcerting approaching what the Satnav says is a junction but was converted to a roundabout a couple of years ago.

I live in France and do think that HERE is the best
