I've had nothing but trouble with Here maps (now HERE WeGo), in the eastern USA at least. Its UI/UX is sadly far behind GMaps. I would love an alternative...
Yeah, each app varies a lot depending on where you live. HERE works fine in Argentina, but Apple maps will constantly send you to other continents (even if clicking on a contact's address that already has a preview of the map only a few miles away).
I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happened to others in other regions.
As for GMaps, I find their UX/UI awful and too complex. They really need to go back to the old-school google that did simple things.
