IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

1. New functionality to protect customer credentials by linking them to domains.

Each customer of the HERE Platform for Business can now set up a protection of his HERE credentials with a new function available on developer.here.com in the HERE account under My apps. In App details there is now the option to list up to 10 domains. After setting this up only request coming from those domains will be valid. Request using the same credentials but coming from other domains will be rejected.

2. Migration of Enterprise Router 6.2

Since the monthly platform release in July the latest HLP Router version 7.2. offers feature parity with the Enterprise Router 6.2. All Enterprise specific features like e.g. Truck Routing, Traffic enabled Routing using Traffic Patterns, Matrix and Isoline routing are now available in the HLP Router.

Our customers are kindly requested to migrate from the Enterprise Router 6.2 to the HLP Router 7.2. The Enterprise Router 6.2 is now in maintenance mode: no new features will be developed and only critical bug fixes, map updates and support will be provided. After March 31, 2016, no further maintenance and support will be provided, and the service will go offline.

In case you have any questions or need further assistance on the migrating to the new HLP Router 7.2 please contact us. We will be happy to assist you with the migration process.
