Nokia Maps 2 Routing vs competition

Just paid for 1 months navigation of Nokia Maps 2.0. So far I've been quite impressed with the routing.
I know it doesnt offer as many features as its rivals (and the pricing model is expensive).
But I am curious of how people think it stacks up against the competition in terms of pure routing abiliy only (ignoring all the extras).

From what I've read (and this forum has been a wonderful source), the Garmin XT seems to be the one to beat in this regard (vs Route 66 and CoPilot).

So for those who have used the Nokia and another, how does the Nokia Maps rate routing-wise?

Many thanks in advance for any input.

I'll be testing it at some point, with proper comparisons to a number of others.

The more I use it though, the more unimpressed I am. Still feels like a beta tbh.

The maps are pretty disappointing. And the instructions aren't as accurate as Garmin.

Nokia maps' graphics are a lot smoother though.
