Nokia maps are arguably better

It is proved Google will never make apps for WP after the search app. If desperately needed, go to maps.google.com. Pretty poor though.

Google Maps is up to Google, if you want the real thing. But we may have to wait for native code if they need libraries.

Google maps provides an option to save the locations on the map. I have many saved locations on Google maps

Bing maps is terrible. Searches are amazingly poorly parsed and responded to. Searching for anything other than an address often randomly takes you all over the world; a slightly misspelled address points you to helpful nearby places like "New York". There are no TRANSIT DIRECTIONS. Overseas support is spotty. Application is slow.
I really love the windows phone and loved windows mobile before it (which had google maps), but without a functional maps program I'm going to have to switch to i-phone / android next. This is a deal breaker for biz travelers and city dwellers both. I agree with this post, Windows needs to pay and /or BEG Google to make them an app while they get theirs up to speed. The whole platform, though beautiful and nice to use, is compromised without this.

bing maps is great.. just download the many google maps apps.. dont expect microsoft to do the work that google should do..
this would be like complaining to google to add bing search to android built in.. it would never happen
