Supported browsers and platforms
Note
The 3.1 version of this API has been deprecated. For continued support and feature development, upgrade to the latest 3.2 version.
The Maps API is built specifically for modern browsers that support WebGL and HTML5 on desktop as well as mobile environments. Although it is optimized for certain browsers and environments, we do our utmost to ensure the API can be used on a wide variety of platforms and browsers.
The list below shows support of different browsers and environments by the Maps API (with and without optimizations):
Browser support in HERE Maps API for JavaScript
| Support Level | Browser | Environment |
|---|---|---|
| Supported with optimizations | Microsoft Edge (latest) Firefox (latest) Google Chrome (latest) Apple Safari 14+ | desktop desktop desktop, Android 9.0+ on mobile/tablet (provided that the device supports hardware acceleration) desktop, iOS 14+ on mobile/tablet Note: Only 64-bit architectures are supported |
| Legacy support (includes HTML5 canvas rendering and excludes any advanced WebGL rendering features) | iOS WebView | desktop iOS 11 - 14 |
| Not supported | Opera Internet Explorer - All versions |
Hardware requirements
The following are hardware requirements for the Maps API:
- HERE recommends at least 8 GB of system memory.
- Handling complex applications may necessitate increased memory and improved CPUs. Additionally, GPUs and hardware acceleration play an important role in performance in both physical and virtualized settings. Ensure the hardware, including the GPU and drivers, remain supported by the manufacturers.
- For virtualized environments, the following is recommended for minimum performance:
- At least 2 virtual CPUs (vCPUs) per user.
- Physical GPU in the host server with allocated virtual GPU (vGPU) resources for each user.
