Dear Customer,

 

p­lease be advised that new releases of the HERE Location Services are now available on the Production environment (PRD).

 

These releases include updates of: Routing API, Geocoding and Search API, Map API for Java Script, Transit API, Intermodal API and HERE SDK for Android, iOS and Flutter.

For more detailed information about the major improvements of the HERE Location Services, see the sections below.


IMPORTANT INFORMATION regarding new license terms for Location Services on Platform*:

For some of our new Location Services made available on Platform, we have changed the Transaction definitions in your current contract with HERE. This will impact all existing Location Services customers that have a contract with a license term based on Transactions such as Location Mapping when they start using Location Services on Platform.

By continuing to use the Location Services on Platform, you accept the new terms.

The changes are the following:
