For more detailed information about the major improvements of the HERE Platform for Business Services and Products, see the sections below:

 

Batch Geocoder API

Version 6.2.53

  • Added support for the parameter minResults when making Reverse Geocode requests with mode=retrieveAddresses. The minResults parameter was only supported in requests with mode=retrieveAreas previously. The specified radius is ignored until the results exceed the value set in minResults.

 

Geocoder API

Version 6.2.131

  • Corrected country shapes with respect to disputed areas for India and Crimea.
  • Improved house number and street name matches for specific formats in Portland, OR (USA), Mannheim (Germany), and Estonia.

Geocoder Autocomplete API

Version 6.2.131

  • A new language parameter allows client applications to specify their preferred response language for suggestions.
  • Added recognition of unit numbers for address queries in Australia, New Zealand and Canada where prefixing house numbers with a unit is common.

Public Transit API

Version 2.3.0

  • The Earlier/Later journey endpoint (…/metarouter/rest/routeservice/v2/mroute) is now being deprecated

Positioning API

Version 1.3.1

  • We increased the maximum number of WLAN access points in a request from 64 to 128.
  • We renamed frequency to the more descriptive and precise channel in the CDMA neighbor object parameters.
  • We added the new optional parameters channel and pnoffset to CDMA serving cell object.
  • We added support for Content-Encoding: gzip in request headers.

Custom Location Extension API

Version 2.0.10

  • Proximity search now returns the matches sorted by distance - closest geometry first.
  • The all.txt and all.json attribute based search functions can now be applied to multiple layers within one request.

 

Toll Cost Extension API

Version 2.4.7

Introducing Average ferry costs

  • For cost optimized routing, ferries now get penalized by an average cost, to avoid that ferry lines are used to create the cost optimized route although they also add cost.
  • The average ferry cost values currently only distinguish between the vehicle type categories car, light truck and heavy truck. This will be refined in future versions.
  • Since the ferry costs are not accurate, they get considered for route optimization, but are not returned explicitly as cost items.

 

The following services had new releases with minor changes:

  • HLP Routing API (Version 7.2.78)
  • Traffic API (Version 6.0.61.0)
  • Geofencing Extension API (Version 1.2)
  • Fleet Connectivity Extension API (Version 1.2.9)
  • Platform Data Extension API (Version 1.6.8)
  • Route Match Extension (Version 2.1.12)
