HERE Auto SDK

Flexible and scalable development kit for connected embedded navigation solutions

Moving beyond navigation towards personalized guidance

Today’s drivers want more than a wayfinding app. In a connected world, they expect in-vehicle navigation to provide up-to-date, contextual and relevant information.

It should make the journey safer, faster, and more enjoyable by providing personalized guidance – from door-to-door.

HERE Auto SDK enables OEMs to design guidance solutions, which blend learned driver behavior with the latest map and traffic information from the cloud to provide a trulypersonal and relevant experience.

Its ability to seamlessly integrate the mobile for pre-trip planning and last-mile guidance, provides an end-to-end solution that extends beyond the vehicle.

The foundation for a world-class guidance experience

Getting better with every trip

With HERE Auto SDK, navigation solutions adapt to the vehicle’s drivers. By identifying behavioral patterns and common routes, the self-learning technology gets to know them a little better with every trip, improving predictions and route calculations for a more personalized driving experience.

Flexibility for every vehicles segment

HERE Auto SDK’s architecture fits to any hardware platform. Modules can be customized or added to the core. It flexibly integrates with HERE Connected Vehicle Services or 3rd party services, leaving OEMs additional room to adjust their offering.

Supportive during every part of the journey

HERE Auto SDK seamlessly integrates the mobile phone into the navigation solution. Active routes can be handed over from the phone companion app to the embedded navigation and vice versa, enabling guidance from door-to-door. Multimodal transportation is also supported.

Online, but only when needed

HERE Auto SDK allows for a seamless transition between online and offline operation, including map content, routing and POI search. OEMs can therefore flexibly optimize the final solution in line with connectivity cost targets and market requirements.

Contributing to safety and comfort

HERE Auto SDK helps minimize driver distraction and stress by providing contextually relevant and timely information to avoid situations like heavy traffic or road hazards. Its integrated Electronic Horizon improves ADAS performance by providing anticipatory data or backup for hardware sensors.
