Nokia Maps. There was a brief period in the early 2010s where Nokia had the best mapping product on the planet, and it was given away for free on Lumia phones at a time when TomTom and Garmin were still charging $60+ for navigation apps.
I worked on Maps when the re-brand to Ovi was happening. I remember piles of nokia models for us to test it on. Supporting that diversity of devices was kind of a tall order and pretty unprecedented. It was a different era.
Still around as "Here Maps"
Started to suck pretty badly not long after getting acquired by German car companies. It used to be good.
