How to share a route

To share a route, specify two or more waypoints along the route, and separate them by slashes (/). The first waypoint in the URL is the departure location, and the last waypoint is the destination.

HERE supports up to one hundred waypoints, but depending on waypoint titles and device specific limitations, a soft limit of 50 waypoints should be considered.

Common parameters

  • LATITUDE, LONGITUDE: The geocoordinates of a waypoint, in decimal degrees.

  • TITLE: Title of the location. The title must be URL-encoded. This parameter is optional.

  • WAYPOINT: You can also use a place sharing ID or the mylocation keyword as any waypoint. The mylocation keyword indicates to the receiving app that the user's current location should be used when possible.

  • MODE: Routing Mode. Specifies which routing mode to use for the route calculation. This parameter is optional. Possible values are:

    • d: shows a driving route
    • w: shows a walking route
    • pt: shows a public transport route
    • b: shows a bike route
    • cs: shows a car sharing route
    • t: shows a taxi route
    • tr: shows a truck route. Important: This functionality requires a HERE WeGo Pro license. See HERE WeGo Pro documentation. If opened on non-entitled devices, a car route is shown instead.
