How to share a location

The HERE Deeplinking API allows sharing a location as an exact point on the map, both with and without a custom title.

Share a location on the map

To share a location, specify the latitude and longitude. You can also specify such optional parameters as zoom level or map type or add a pin to this location.

  • LATITUDE, LONGITUDE: The geocoordinates of this location, in decimal degrees.
  • p - Display Pin: Specifies if a pin should be shown on the map of a shared location. The valid values are yes and no. Defaults to yes when omitted. This parameter is optional.

Share a location on the map with a custom title

To share a location with a custom title, specify the latitude, longitude, and a title. You can also specify such optional parameters as zoom level or map type.

  • LATITUDE, LONGITUDE: The geocoordinates of this location, in decimal degrees.
  • TITLE: Custom title that appears in a bubble at the specified location. The title must be URL-encoded.
