What is HERE GIS Data Suite? A guide to Esri-ready GIS data for ArcGIS Pro 

 

Reliable GIS analysis starts with the right data – but sourcing, cleaning, and preparing it often slows projects down. 

What is HERE GIS Data Suite? It’s a ready-to-use, Esri-ready GIS data solution designed to help you start analysing faster in ArcGIS Pro. 

Whether you're planning transport networks, analysing infrastructure, optimising logistics operations, or building location-based applications, the challenge is often the same – too much time spent preparing data, not enough time generating insight. 

HERE GIS Data Suite removes that barrier. You get a consolidated, pre-configured dataset that loads straight into ArcGIS Pro – so you can move from setup to analysis faster, and with confidence in your data. 

Why organisations need better GIS data for ArcGIS Pro 

Data preparation is one of the biggest hidden costs in GIS. 

You’re likely spending valuable time: 

• Sourcing data from multiple providers 

• Verifying accuracy and completeness 

• Standardising formats for ArcGIS 

• Building routing networks 

• Configuring map layers 

• Creating geocoding resources 

This slows projects down and introduces inconsistencies. 

With HERE GIS Data Suite, you work from a single, trusted source of GIS data for ArcGIS Pro. Everything is pre-configured for GIS workflows – helping you reduce complexity and focus on analysis. 

What is HERE GIS Data Suite? 

HERE GIS Data Suite is a comprehensive collection of Esri-ready GIS data built specifically for ArcGIS Pro users. 

Instead of stitching datasets together, you receive a unified, global dataset that includes: 

• Road networks 

• Building footprints 

• Land use and land cover 

• Administrative boundaries 

• Points of interest (POIs) 

• Address data 

• Transportation data 

• Historical traffic data 

• Cellular coverage data 

The data is delivered in Esri-compatible formats, so you can load it straight into ArcGIS Pro and start working immediately. 

 

What’s included in HERE GIS Data Suite? 

Foundational GIS data 

At its core, HERE GIS Data Suite gives you a consistent geographic foundation for analysis. 

This includes: 

• Roads and transport networks 

• Building outlines 

• Land use data 

• Administrative boundaries 

• Railways and water features 

• Points of interest and contextual layers 

This ensures every project starts from the same reliable baseline.

Advanced network intelligence 

For teams using ArcGIS Network Analyst, HERE GIS Data Suite includes a fully configured network dataset. 

This gives you access to: 

• Historical traffic patterns 

• Speed profiles 

• Truck routing attributes 

• Road restrictions 

• Toll road data 

• Intersection intelligence 

You can run more accurate routing, service area modelling, and transport planning straight away. 

Address and place data 

Accurate geocoding is critical for many GIS workflows. 

The suite includes: 

• Point addressing and micro-point addressing 

• Extensive place data 

• Locator files for ArcGIS Pro 

• High-quality POI datasets 

This improves address matching, spatial search, and location accuracy across your projects. 

Cellular coverage data 

If you’re analysing connectivity or infrastructure performance, HERE GIS Data Suite can include cellular coverage and signal strength datasets. 

This helps you visualise network availability across regions, transport networks, and service areas. 

How HERE GIS Data Suite works with ArcGIS Pro 

HERE GIS Data Suite is designed specifically for Esri users. 

It includes: 

• File geodatabases 

• Vector tile packages 

• Locator files 

• Network datasets 

• ArcGIS Pro project files 

Because everything is pre-configured and pre-symbolised, you can load the data straight into ArcGIS Pro and start analysing immediately. 

That means less setup – and faster time to insight. 

 

Common use cases for HERE GIS Data Suite 

 

• Transport and logistics planning 

Model routes, analyse networks, and optimise operations using detailed traffic and transportation data. 

• Public sector and local government 

Support planning, emergency response, infrastructure management, and citizen services with authoritative GIS data. 

• Urban planning 

Visualise land use, buildings, and transport infrastructure to guide future development. 

• Asset management 

Improve asset visibility with accurate address and location intelligence. 

• Location-based applications 

Build applications on a trusted, global geographic data foundation. 

 

Why HERE GIS Data Suite matters 

As GIS projects become more complex, data quality becomes more important. 

HERE GIS Data Suite helps you move beyond data preparation and focus on insight. With global coverage, rich attribution, and quarterly updates, it gives you a high-integrity foundation for modern GIS workflows. 

Instead of spending time collecting and preparing datasets, you can start analysing, modelling, and visualising data faster – with greater confidence in the results.
