What do they suck in?
At least what i said above. Comfort-features. The open ones are great, don't get me wrong. But not here and not for cars. At least not for me. Would've otherwise prefered open of course.
I had a pretty good experience with Comaps but i guess the open map is not good for every place, which makes sense for such a project since it need people to work well
I don't actually remember comaps. But those crowd-sourced are usually problematic here, as you already pointed out. I can live with Sygic though. Good lifelong discount for yearly, and it's european :)
Not OP: I can't give up gmaps because none of the open source maps I tried allow me to search for business name or a type of business (gas station, grocery store etc). I am sure they would guide me wonderfully but I would need to look up the address first and that's less than ideal when driving.
Have you tried Comaps? I can write in the searchbar something like "grocery", "market' etc etc and it will give me releated results
