HERE Map Data: Features and Benefits
HERE Map Data is the most comprehensive, accurate and feature-rich geographic reference system available today. It contains maps for 196 countries and live traffic information for 41 of those — one of the main reasons it’s the database of choice for four out of five in-car navigation systems in North America and Europe. HERE Map Data is an ideal base map for display, geocoding and route planning — among other applications.
HERE GIS maps are the product of an extensive development process that involves thorough compiling, testing and retesting of key data points to ensure accuracy and accessibility. Here’s how the process works from the ground up:
- Sourcing: Quality maps start with quality data. HERE works with partners around the world to obtain the most up-to-date and accurate road information. When information isn’t available, or if there are any concerns about the validity of our data, our research team uses satellite-assisted imaging to fill in the gaps.
- Digitization: The next step is to take this raw data and put it into a digital format. Our experienced cartographers oversee every step of this process using proprietary software to ensure it is entered into our database correctly.
- Review: Digitized map data undergoes a second review by our specialists, who use aerial photography to add further details and note unique geographic features not recorded in the initial data.
- Fieldwork: Once the initial map data is digitized and reviewed, our field researchers hit the road to perform real-world verification. At the same time, they collect information on local points of interest, emergency services, weight restrictions and regulations and other navigation attributes. Each year, our team drives millions of miles to verify accuracy and enhance the integrity and usefulness of our core data.
- Updating and quality control: The world is always changing — the only way to ensure accuracy is to make quality control a continuous process. HERE is subject to constant checks, updates and expansions to make it the most current, most usable and most effective GIS mapping tool available today.
HERE is the only GIS map to use a standard specification in both North America and Europe. A variety of available data layers complements the core map display, ensuring you have access to all the information you need and nothing you don’t.
