Introduction
Note: This service is no longer being actively developed. We will only provide critical fixes for this service in future.
The HERE Map Image v1 is a REST API that allows you to request static map images for all regions in the world. The map images show conventional map views, but can also include points of interest, routes (for example, with turning points and junction views), statistics and heat maps.
In addition, the API offers a variety of supplementary services for displaying location-based data. For example, it is possible to present roadsigns.
The table below lists the high level use cases for the HERE Map Image v1.

- Data privacy is of fundamental importance to HERE and our customers. We practice data minimization and don't collect data we don't need. And we promote pseudonymity for data subjects wherever a service does not require personal information to function. We employ privacy by design in services we develop. We strive to go beyond mere regulatory compliance and make privacy an integral part of our corporate culture. We believe that our approach to privacy is vital to earning and retaining the trust of our customers - and the bedrock of our future success as a data-driven location platform.
