Real-time processing
Instantly display large data sets tiled on a map. Edit data features in real time and update the map in unison.
Interoperable
Works with third-party renderers such as Tangram and Leaflet. Choose HERE Maps or OpenStreetMap as the base map.
Built on openness
HERE XYZ is based on open source projects and open standards, and features a QGIS plugin for the popular GIS system.
Product features
XYZ Studio: GUI map editor
Create interactive maps and manage large location data sets – without the need for coding or setting up an infrastructure. Upload private or open data sets in different formats, customize your map with colors and markers, and publish it in minutes.
HERE XYZ CLI: Flexible node.js tool
Designed to give developers and cartographers greater control, the HERE CLI (Command Line Interface) is a flexible node.js tool for entering actions and interacting with the API. Create, manage, edit and share data sets with ease.
XYZ Hub API: Powerful RESTful API
The XYZ Hub API is a powerful RESTful API that enables developers to perform granular geospatial functions, such as uploading, editing and publishing geospatial data. Create sophisticated web maps through API calls directly from your app.
Features and capabilities
Style data in XYZ Studio
Customize the look and feel of your map using an intuitive graphical interface. Choose from different base map styles, use conditional formatting to style subsets of data and create legends automatically to better understand your map.
Edit maps by adding geometry in XYZ Studio
Add features such as points, lines or polylines to your map, and highlight areas with markers, icons and text labels. Easily edit custom geometry by moving and reshaping. Any edits are automatically updated on your published map.
View data on a map or table in XYZ Studio
Upload data sets using the intuitive XYZ Studio web app, or drag and drop files directly on your Studio map for faster interaction. Switch between map and table view to easily explore and edit data.
Publish your map in minutes using XYZ Studio
Publish your map in two clicks. Keep it for private use or share it with the world. Leverage an automatically generated URL or embed HTML code directly on your website to display your map inline.
Spaces
Spaces is a secure geospatial repository for your data. It enables the efficient use of geospatial data, which is key for large data sets. You can create Spaces, add and delete features, and search by bounding box or tags.
Tags
Retrieve data efficiently with tags – without querying the entire data set. As tags are associated with a subset of data, you can use different tags to accommodate the different ways you want to use or style your data.
Open data sets
Upload open geospatial data to your Space, including very large data sets. Leverage Microsoft’s building footprint data directly in XYZ, and layer all building footprints in the US and Canada. More open data sets will be added.
Streaming upload
Easily upload geospatial data formats that are spread over multiple files using the HERE CLI. Bring gigabytes of data to the XYZ cloud using the -s flag, which will read the file in a data stream and prevent node errors.
QGIS plugin
Connect and update data directly in HERE XYZ using the XYZ QGIS plugin. QGIS users can publish their work and analysis in vectorized format. In addition, public and personal XYZ data can be loaded into QGIS for further analysis.
