H .service .extension .customLocation.Service

new H.service.extension.customLocation.Service (opt_options) Deprecated : since 3.1.30.12

This class provides methods for creation, modification and fetching of the custom data layers using HERE Fleet Telematics API. It's not allowed to call the constructor directly (an IllegalOperationError is thrown). Instead an instance of this Service can be retrieved by calling the factory method H.service.Platform#getCustomLocationService on a platform instance.

Name	Type	Description
`opt_options`	H.service.Options	optional Configuration options of the service

Throws:

Example

// Assumption: the platform is instantiated
fleetService = platform.getCustomLocationService();
