Google Maps is best-in-class IMO. Some other services come close but aren't quite as good.
I feel like it depends on where you are. I used to travel a lot for work and Google maps would be less reliable than Here maps. Kept taking me to unpaved roads that no one used or like dead-ends. It was even more useless in a lot of third world countries I went to. They are really good at navigating around traffic and their POI data is way bigger than any other mapping solution.
HERE maps is pretty good... It's one of the only major competitors to Google Maps. I've used their APIs in the past.
