Carmakers Raise Stakes in Map Battle vs. Google
HERE vs. Google Map

Although one analyst was quoted by Reuters saying that “there is a risk that the other automakers [outside the Audi, BMW and Mercedes-led consortium] will be pushed further into the arms of Google," most automotive industry analysts we talked to disagreed.
Strategy Analytics’ Lanctot said, “Google maps aren’t suitable to automotive applications. They won’t work where you don’t have a connection, and carmakers don’t trust Google with integration with vehicle data. Even Tesla has an embedded map.”
Juliussen said, “The consortium will want to have as much revenue from HERE as possible to pay for the investment in updating the self-driving car maps. Hence they will behave in a way that allows other auto OEMs to remain as customer.” Further, he added, “If there is a shift to another mapping company, it is more likely to go to TomTom [the Netherland-based digital map company] than Google.”
HERE vs. Google Maps
So, how is HERE actually different from Google Maps?
