The Service

HERE Maps offers robust map, routing, geocoding, traffic, and fleet management services via REST APIs and SDKs. It supports multiple layers, offline maps, and enterprise-grade accuracy and global coverage.

Availability in China

The service is accessible under certain conditions, but not fully reliable or consistently available in mainland China.

HERE public APIs are partially accessible; map tile and routing services may time out or be slow for requests originating in China. Their policies do not support licensing for map data within mainland; Chinese regulation requires map data from approved local providers. Therefore, developers serving China must integrate local map SDKs (Gaode, Tencent, Baidu) or license map data through domestic wholesale integrators. Multi-region apps should dynamically select mapping providers based on user locale.

Disclaimer

The information regarding service availability in China is provided for general reference purposes only. Due to the dynamic nature of network conditions and regulatory environments, the actual accessibility of these services may vary over time and by location. Users are advised to verify the current status independently.
