How to reposition the logo, copyright, or Terms and Conditions text on a HERE Maps JS map

SYMPTOMS / TRIGGERS
-------------------

You may need this article if:

The HERE logo or copyright notice overlaps your custom UI elements on the map
You need to move the "Terms and Conditions" link to a different position (e.g., from bottom to top)
You want to change the color, font size, or visibility of the imprint/copyright text on the map
The default position of map UI elements conflicts with your application layout
You searched for "customize map overlay position" or "move HERE watermark"

QUICK ANSWER
------------

When the Maps API for JavaScript does not provide a built-in method to reposition or restyle map chrome elements (logo, copyright, imprint), you can use standard document.querySelector() with CSS class selectors to directly manipulate their position and style. The key CSS classes are:

.H_imprint — Terms & Conditions link
.H_copyright — copyright notice
.H_rdo_title.H_el — map menu title

HOW TO DO IT
------------

Use document.querySelector() to target the map UI elements after the map has fully initialized:

<br />// Change the map menu title textdocument.querySelector(".H_rdo_title.H_el").innerText = "Map menü";// Move the imprint (Terms & Conditions) from bottom to topdocument.querySelector(".H_imprint").style.top = "0px";document.querySelector(".H_imprint").style.bottom = null;// Move the copyright notice from bottom to topdocument.querySelector(".H_copyright").style.top = "0px";document.querySelector(".H_copyright").style.bottom = null;<br />

IMPORTANT NOTES
---------------

Execute these DOM manipulations after the map is fully rendered (e.g., inside a map.addEventListener('mapviewchangeend', ...) callback or after a short delay)
These CSS class names (.H_imprint, .H_copyright, .H_rdo_title) are internal to the HERE Maps JS renderer and may change between major versions — always verify after upgrading
* Do not hide or remove the copyright/imprint entirely, as this may violate HERE's Terms of Use
