HERE Map Data
Map Data for confident location‑enabled applications
Build, scale and modernise location‑driven applications with HERE Map Data – supported by clear licensing, deep technical expertise and hands‑on integration guidance from our mapping specialists.
What is HERE Map Data
When you’re building a location‑enabled product, your map data isn’t just infrastructure - it’s part of your value proposition.
HERE Map Data gives ISVs a foundation that’s accurate, consistent and built to scale as your customer base grows. You can embed enterprise‑grade location data directly into your platform, maintain control over how it’s stored and processed, and design your architecture around your product roadmap. Just as importantly, you retain commercial clarity as usage increases, helping you scale without unexpected cost or licensing friction.
At its core, HERE Map Data is a global, automotive‑grade geospatial dataset providing detailed road networks, address ranges, cartographic features and location attributes across more than 200 countries. This is the same underlying data trusted by large enterprises, but delivered in a way that you can integrate, extend and productise within their own software.
Unlike lightweight map tiles or purely API‑driven services, HERE Map Data is designed to be embedded, analysed and enriched inside your platform. That gives you the freedom to differentiate your product, support complex customer requirements and evolve your offering over time
