All services receive map content updates frequently but we will call out a few noteworthy highlights in March 2019 related to the following services: Routing API and Mobile SDKs.
There were other minor updates and fixes across many other services as well which were related to regular maintenance releases. View the API Version History for specific monthly updates including change log and release notes for all of the APIs.
Also be sure to check out the Top Feature Enhancements Driven by HERE XYZ Beta Participants.
Routing API
Provide precise instructions to a destination using various transport modes (e.g., car, truck, public transit, bicycle) and leveraging different algorithms (e.g., matrix, isoline routing). Learn more…
Version 7.2.102
We have improved routing behavior when parameter “avoidTurns=difficult” is used to also avoid difficult sharp turns (in addition to earlier released avoidance of complex U-turns on multi-digitized roads)
Here's an example scenario for a path to avoid a sharp turn by taking the traffic circle, rotary, rotunda, or island.
Mobile SDKS
Full-featured, native apps with our mapping platform. Learn more…
Map Updates
Added support for more detailed information of the long truck available turns. This feature will give possibility to take into account long truck specific turns and restrictions information while creating a Long truck specific route.
Improved definition for Inconvenient maneuver that includes angle between the roads. Improved definition for Inconvenient maneuvers with time restrictions.
Inclusion of basic Scouter routing attributes for routing use cases.
Fixed issue when some Bahrain “Blocks” cities shown on the map on high scale (20KM)
Added support of POIs of “Winery” category
Fixed issue with EV charging station POIs duplication
Updated EarthCore Buildings and Landmarks
Here's an example of creating a category filter for a winery.
NSArray* categories = [[NMAPlaces sharedPlaces] topLevelCategories];
for (id category in categories) { if (category.uniqueId == "winery" ) { NMACategory* restCategory = category; NMAGeoCoordinates* murphys = [[NMAGeoCoordinates alloc] initWithLatitude:38.08603 longitude:-120.48867]; NMACategoryFilter *categoryFilter = [NMACategoryFilter new]; [categoryFilter addCategoryFilterFromUniqueId:restCategory.uniqueId]; NMADiscoveryRequest* request = [ [NMAPlaces sharedPlaces] createHereRequestWithLocation:murphys filters:categoryFilter]; //... }}
This category was already available through our Places REST API, but now it's also available on mobile including while navigating offline.
