Technically speaking: Isn't Nokia HERE also a global non-US map-service, seeing as Nokia is based in Finnland?

Nokia's cartography is from Navteq, a Chicago-based subsidiary. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navteq

Actually, Navteq is no longer an independent entity since 2011-2012. The business unit is now called HERE [1] and mostly divided between Germany and the US.

It provides maps services for MS, MapQuest, Garmin, Amazon, Yahoo! Maps, Yandex, BMW, Oracle GIS...

But the Navteq brand still exists.

Ah okay - thanks :)

Yes I was coming to post this.

Clearly the person who wrote the title of this message is uninformed.

Or maybe you are!
