Your next BMW or Mercedes will be using Nokia Maps, just as your Lumia

Maybe because Nokia bribed them?

maybe because Nokia maps are much better than Google maps
Nokia maps is more accurate than Google's in my country, In Google maps some raods are missing, and some are not located in their places!!

and even if they bribed them, that's good for Nokia.

stop the hate for Nokia and it's upcoming Lumia 920, i think u're just afraid that this monster phone will send u're wacky android piece of sh*t to garbage, where it should belong!!

this time it's different. the Lumia 800 and 900 weren't that innovtive as the new Lumia 820 and 920. the L900 & L800 were having the standard specs and nothing cool about them, while the new lumias have many cool features

please... no need to argue... its true that google maps is good... but in reality Nokia Maps are far more accurate than Google... remember Nokia owns Navteq which is a company making maps...

Because they are the best in the business thanks to Navteq's 20 years+ of mapping experience. Google Maps launched 7 years ago...

Nokia maps are used for cars driven by human.
Google maps will be used for self driving cars(robotic).google is most advanced tech company till date.

Why Volkswagen make the switch to Nokia maps ?
As far as I remember Audi have google maps and Volkswagen own Audi .
However this is a good thng as Nokia maps is better than google maps

Google maps suck!
Google doesn't own all the serveces related with their maps and navigation but have agreement with 3rd companies.
Nokia buying NAVTEQ in 2008 has been always developing and improving Nokia Maps. And it's the owner of the servcies releated Maps and navigation! It's a big difference. If you compare Nokia maps will be better in many iaspects!
From my experience I can say I don't like my Google navigation on my Android phone (slow, and depends on internet covereage). I can't wait until Lumia 920 is available to buy this pnone and forget about Android!

You are not alone mate. Waiting for my Nokia Lumia 920.

They were not. Actually, BMW was using TomTom (TeleAtlas), the same company Apple has recently partnered with for its mapping data. BMW has recently announced the shift to NAVTEQ, the mapping company owned by Nokia.

the thing is signing a deal with multiple map providers is sometime not possible likes terms and conditions to use the maps and they also have to pay for it unlike users

I think users can choose if they have a smartphone they can use any available system of their choice.
