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.
