Create and manage locations

Locations are geographical points of interest that represent the origins and destinations for shipments. Locations are the building blocks for segments. When creating a location, you can associate it with a geofence. Geofence events can trigger the start or completion of a shipment.

Note

When creating new shipments, any shipments that share the same origin or destination should also use the same locations.

In a basic example, you can create a location with a set of coordinates. These coordinates can be obtained from the HERE Geocoder using the location address.

The user can also define unique logical names for locations and use these names to fetch previously created locations.

Alternatively, you can also use the Labels API to name and identify locations.

Locations are managed via the locations endpoint.
