Licenses explained

The HERE SDK for Flutter is available in two different licenses (formerly known as editions):

Explore license: A subset of the Navigate license with features such as online search and routing for multiple transport modes including car, bus, truck and electric vehicles.
Navigate license: The most feature-rich license that includes online / offline turn-by-turn navigation and other advanced features.

A few of the features that are available exclusively as part of the Navigate license:

Turn-by-turn-navigation.
Offline map data as downloadable countries or regions, offline search and offline routing.
HERE Positioning

While each license provides a tailored map experience, both licenses feature the integration of the HERE Rendering Engine:

The HERE Rendering Engine offers visually appealing true 3D maps that provide a smooth map experience and highly performant map.
Benefit from features such as multiple map view instances, an integrated tool chain for map customization, full 3D camera control and seamless map scheme switches.

Internally, each license of the HERE SDK 4.x shares a set of common modules. For example, the SearchEngine is part of a module that is used by all licenses. Therefore, such functionality and the related APIs are the same for both licenses. On top, all features of the Explore license are also available for the Navigate license. However, the HERE SDK (Explore) uses a more light-weighted map data format.

If you are still unsure what license you should choose, try to answer the following questions:

Do you want to offer the best and most advanced map experience, but you do not need any of the advanced features such as navigation? Then you might want to choose the Explore license.
Does your app rely on any of the available advanced features? Choose the Navigate license.
The Navigate license is only available for customers who have signed a contract with HERE Technologies. Are you waiting for your license? Consider starting with the Explore license, which offers a subset of the same APIs available with the Navigate license.

A more detailed overview of the available features can be found in the feature list.

Description

4.27.3.0

2026-09-02

CHANGED

Routing: Deprecated Waypoint.transitRadiusInMeters, please use Waypoint.radiusInMeters instead.

4.27.3.0

2026-09-02

ADDED

Routing: Added Waypoint.radiusInMeters as distance for candidates of a road to be used as a waypoint for the route calculation. It replaces the deprecated Waypoint.transitRadiusInMeters.

4.27.3.0

2026-09-02

CHANGED

To ensure Flutter based Android application stability and reliable map rendering, certain graphics features and the rendering of semi-transparent map content are automatically adjusted or restricted on devices using PowerVR Rogue GPUs, Adreno 730-740 GPUs, or ARM Mali-g series GPU drivers version 32-38. On affected devices, enabling these features or rendering semi-transparent map content may increase memory usage and lead to application freezes or map view instability. The MapFeatures.ambientOcclusion and MapFeatures.shadows will be prohibited, even if there is a request to enable them. MapFeatures.congestionZones, MapFeatures.environmentalZones, MapFeatures.lowSpeedZones and roads in MapScheme.hybridDay, MapScheme.hybridNight, MapScheme.liteHybridDay, MapScheme.liteHybridNight, MapScheme.logisticsHybridDay, MapScheme.logisticsHybridNight display visible darkening due to overlapping rendering. Roads show this darkening at the road segment junctions. For semi-transparent MapPolyline, the polylines will lose their transparency. Furthermore, MapFeatures.terrain with MapFeatureModes.terrain3D will be automatically switched to MapFeatureModes.terrainHillshade if the GPU is PowerVR Rogue.

4.27.3.0

2026-09-02

FIXED

Routing: Fixed RoutingError.INVALID_PARAMETER on EV routes that use RouteHandle based route calculations that happens when calling RoutingEngine.setCustomOption() with options that are not supported by the backend. The options are ignored.

4.27.3.0

2026-09-02

FIXED

Map view: Improved MapPolyline rendering on Android when offscreen rendering is disabled. Semi-transparent polylines now maintain transparency and blend colors as expected. As a result, overlapping regions may be visible depending on the LineCap type used.

4.27.3.0

2026-09-02

ADDED

This release is a Long-Term Support (LTS) release. LTS releases provide a supported production baseline for customers. Each LTS release is supported for six months, from its release date until the next LTS release becomes available. Hotfixes are provided only for currently supported LTS releases and are limited to critical issues.

Map view: Flutter's hot restart feature does not work when the map view is moved by performing a touch gesture. This results in an application freeze. More details can be found here.

4.25.1.0

2026-01-20

ADDED

Map view: Added the following new classes and methods: MapSceneLoadOptions: Represents the complete configuration for loading a map scene, combining the scene source (MapScheme or configurationFile) and optional settings like enabledFeatures, disabledFeatures, watermarkStyle, and overridingMapStyle. Added MapSceneLoadOptionsBuilder: Builder class for creating MapSceneLoadOptions instances. The builder enforces that exactly one mapScheme or configurationFile is set. Added MapScene.loadSceneWithOptions(MapSceneLoadOptions, MapSceneLoadSceneCallback): Asynchronously loads a map scene using MapSceneLoadOptions. This unified API supports loading from either a map scheme or configuration file, with optional feature and watermark configuration. This update introduces a new unified API to load scenes with a builder pattern that provides a cleaner, more type-safe way to load map scenes. The builder enforces mutual exclusivity between mapScheme and configurationFile at build time. Note: This is a beta release of this feature. There could be a few bugs and unexpected behaviors. Related APIs may change for new releases without a deprecation process.

Documentation: Since the Explore Edition is a subset of the Navigate Edition, we plan to merge the developer guides for both into a single developer guide. Features such as HERE Positioning, Navigation, Indoor Maps, and offline capabilities will remain exclusive to Navigate users. Editions will be referenced to as "licenses". Your existing Explore and Navigate credentials will continue to work as before, and we will continue to maintain support for both licenses through dedicated frameworks and API references. This change is planned for an upcoming release and will only affect the documentation.

2025-05-13

ADDED

Routing: Added new APIs to better support Electric Light Commercial Vehicles (eLCVs) and various types of trucks, such as light trucks under 7.5 tons. Extended the RoutingEngine and OfflineRoutingEngine to accept the new RoutingOptions class, which consolidates several existing option classes - including CarOptions, TaxiOptions, TruckOptions, and RefreshRouteOptions - into a unified configuration model. While the existing RouteOptions class can still be used as before, RoutingOptions provides the same capabilities in a more generic structure suitable for all supported transport modes. When creating a new route, make sure to specify RoutingOptions.transportMode. The new class also introduces extended routing configurations via the new classes CommonRouteOptions, VehicleSpecification, ElectricVehicleOptions with the new EmpiricalConsumptionModel and PhysicalConsumptionModel, and TransportedCargo. For example, it is now possible to specify whether a car is carrying cargo. Previously, this was only available for trucks. The existing RouteOptions can now be set under CommonRouteOptions. Note that this is a beta release of the new feature. Also, the OfflineRoutingEngine is only available in the Navigate Edition.

Map view: Fixed the behavior of MapLayer.setPriority() to correctly remove any previously applied priorities before applying new ones. Fixed internal behaviour of MapLayerPriorityBuilder and the resulting MapLayerPriority when a layer (category) is defined more than once with MapLayerPriorityBuilder.
Previously, when chaining priorities, only in the case of two consecutive priority definitions for the same layer (category), the first one was overriden. Now, any previously defined priority in the chain for the same layer (category) is overriden.
