• Added LocationFeature.wifiPositioning3d for WiFi network positioning with altitude support. 

• Map data: Added TollPoint to represent the toll point attributes of a segment. Added boolean field loadTollPoints to SegmentDataLoaderOptions, which controls whether TollPointobjects are loaded. Added tollPoints to SegmentData to retrieve the TollPoint objects of a segment. 

• Map view: Added the method setMarker3dModelWithRenderSizeUnit(MapMarker3DModel model, double scale, LocationIndicatorMarkerType type, RenderSizeUnit renderSizeUnit) to LocationIndicator to specify how the vertex coordinates of 3D models are interpreted in both world and screen coordinate space. 

• Map data: Added SegmentData.roadSigns in SegmentDataLoader.loadDirectedSegmentData. The SegmentData.roadSigns provides descriptions of the road signs for a directed segment. 

• Map data: Added SegmentData.tollPoints in SegmentDataLoader.loadDirectedSegmentData. The SegmentData.tollPointsprovides descriptions of toll structures present in a directed segment. 

• Map view: Added lookAtDistanceWithKind(MapMeasureKind, List<ScalarKeyframe>, Easing, KeyframeInterpolationMode) method to MapCameraKeyframeTrack to support retrieving Kind measures such as distance, zoom, and scale level.

For more information, see the change log for your HERE SDK license and platform of choice.

HERE SDK 4.24.4.0 release

This release contains numerous bug fixes, UX improvements, and new features. Updates include:

• Added digital signing to HERE SDK Android archives (AAR files) to allow developers to verify archive authenticity and integrity.

• Offline maps: Added NavigabilityType to Region to indicate whether a region can be used for navigation purposes.

• Offline maps: Added LayerConfiguration.Feature.detailedTerrain, enabling detailed terrain display starting from zoom level 13.

• Navigation: Added speedInMetersPerSecond and timestamp to MapMatchedLocation to provide the speed and timestamp of the map matched position. Note that this is a beta release of this feature.

• Navigation: Added a new camera behavior calledAreaCameraBehavior for the VisualNavigator. It enables configuring the camera so that a specified area is fully visible within the view.

The OCM base version was also adapted and starts now with OCM v.195 for RoW and 87 for Japan (MOM2 based).

HERE Data SDK for Java & Scala

HERE Data SDK for Java & Scala 2.80.2

The version of Scala in the platform pipeline environments and the HERE Data SDK for Java & Scala has been upgraded to Scala 2.13.

The new runtime environment for Batch 4.3 is Java 17, Scala 2.13 and Spark 3.4.4

From version 2.80.2 onwards, the HERE Data SDK for Java/Scala will only support Scala 2.13.

The Batch 4.1 run-time environment supporting Scala 2.12 is deprecated beginning December 1, 2025. Both Scala 2.12 and Scala 2.13 (Batch 4.1/4.3) will be supported between December 1, 2025, and December 1, 2026, letting you migrate to the updated versions before the end of support for the old versions.

Existing batch pipelines using the Batch 4.1 runtime environments will operate normally until December 1, 2026. During that time, the Batch 4.1 run-time environments will only receive security patches.

If necessary, you can continue developing pipelines with the Batch 4.1 environment, using the HERE Data SDK for Java/Scala 2.79.3 or older versions. However, it’s recommended to migrate to the new version as soon as possible.

As of December 1, 2026, the Batch 4.1 runtime environment will be removed and pipelines using it will be canceled. You can migrate your batch pipelines to the new Scala 2.13 to enjoy the latest functionality and improvements.

For more details, see the Migration Guide.

What’s In The Works

HERE Map Attributes API

Request Length Limit of 8,000 Characters

Beginning in December 2025, HERE Map Attributes (RME, WSE, GFE) API v8 will no longer support GET requests with HTTP request lines longer than 8,000 characters. To ensure that your solution remains fully functional, use POST requests or limit the line length to fewer than 8,000 characters. For more information about the available endpoints and methods, see the HERE Map Attributes - API Reference.
