Last time I tried Nokia Maps (on a WP7 device probably a year ago, admittedly) I tried searching for a nearby location by entering a partial address. It failed. I tried searching for a cross street without using name suffixes. It failed.

Point is, everyone has different needs from a Maps app. I don't drive, so don't need navigation. I just need to enter an address quickly and find out where it is, so offline downloads don't really do anything for me.

I don't drive either, so walking/public transit directions are INTEGRAL to my survival. I haven't played with a Windows Phone in almost two years, though.

Nokia maps has all of those plus handy apps like onebusaway

Exactly. For instance Nokia Maps don't cover Japan, so they're a complete non-starter for me.

POI data used to be notoriously bad for Nokia maps. They have been working hard to address it, and now it is up to "mediocre" ;)
