IMPORTANT INFORMATIONS:
1. Usage of HERE domains
Some of our customers are still using the Nokia domains (...api.nlp.nokia.com) for accessing the HERE Platform for Business services. Since April 2014 our documentations only lead to the HERE domains (…api.here.com). Please be aware that Nokia/NLP domains will not be supported any more by end of 2016. Until than all customers latest have to switch to the HERE domains. The SSL certificates for the Nokia/NLP domains will expire by end of Q1 2016 so after this date SSL connections will create warning messages.
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.
