This month's updates to the HERE Platform services include a balanced mode in truck routing and scooter routing as a new beta function of the SDK.
Updates are related to the following services: Geocoder API, Geocoder Autocomplete API, Routing API, Traffic API, Places API, Mobile SDKs for Android and iOS and Map Data.
Basic Environmental Zones support in Routing
Balanced mode and fast speed profile in Truck Routing
New HERE Mobile SDK release
New HERE Platform Self-hosted Q2/2018 release.
Added environmental zones to supported zone types

Introduced the fast speed profile feature for trucks
Introduced a new resource for querying supported routing zones.
No new features were added in this release.
Added a new cartographic POI category for EV Charging Stations
Added scooter routing as a new beta feature. Scooter routes are optimized for scooter and motorbikes by avoiding highway and having less impact in time-to-arrival than car routes when traveling through an area with high traffic.
Added turn-by-turn navigation support (beta) for scooter routes
We support extended maximum zoom level as a beta feature. This is turned off by default. Once turned on, maximum zoom level is extended to zoom level 23
Added the ability to query for the estimated data size of selected area or route before prefetching
Added support for displaying drop shadows on polylines
Added the ability to retrieve the URI of a venue space's icon.
Note: This is the last release where offline routing supports on demand map data downloads. Starting from the next release, map data must be downloaded before handed for offline routing to work properly.
