Client software
Deployed on embedded or mobile platforms, it caches the Services Packages from the Cloud to enable offline availability, and integrates with the target platforms like other navigation software.
OEM Configuration Portal
Lets you create differentiated user experiences for trim levels and vehicle segments, and access a marketplace for third-party services and analytics tools.
Under the hood
HERE Navigation On-Demand is an open platform. It integrates multiple HERE location technology products to an end-to-end application including a configurable user interface (UX), which is delivered to OEMs as SaaS. Despite being deployable off-the-shelf, OEMs can easily extend its functional scope through an SDK.
A microservice-based architecture ensures that functionality and UX can be gradually made accessible to its client software over-the-air at any stage of the vehicle lifecycle. Smart caching allows for off-line availability in the car. When combined with HERE Open Location Platform, OEMs profit from an end-to-end environment facilitating location-based connected services – from data ingest to the deployment of ready-to-use functionality OTA.
