HERE GIS Data Suite: ready-to-use GIS data, pay only for what you need
70+ HERE map datasets ready for ArcGIS Pro and GeoPackage. It allows you to “load, render, and create useful maps in seconds.
HERE GIS Data Suite: quality map data, ready to use, competitively priced.
More than 70 datasets with symbology already applied, built to deploy straight into ArcGIS Pro. At Geograma we specify, integrate and run HERE GIS Data Suite inside your environment, tuning territory and tier so you pay for what you actually analyse. You decide what to analyse; we make sure the data is where it needs to be.
Ready to use: pre-symbolised layers, no extraction or prep work
You pay by territory and by tier, not for the whole catalogue
Documented quarterly releases: the latest is Q2 2026
Files for ArcGIS Pro and GeoPackage, or delivery as a service
Foundational mapping and geocoding: 44 datasets covering administrative, census and postal boundaries, roads, buildings, land use, water and places.
Figures taken from HERE's public documentation (“Key features” and “Feature and dataset availability by tier”, updated July 2026). Dataset counts are cumulative: each tier includes the previous one. Scope and availability depend on the licence agreement applicable in each territory.

Ready-to-use GIS data, paying only for what you need. If you then want to see it with data for your own area, we will prepare it.
HERE GIS Data Suite is produced by the vendor. We make it fit your organisation.
We are the Geographic Intelligence specialists: we capture, process and manage geoinformation, and we develop and integrate GIS systems. Working with a vendor's data is not downloading it: it is deciding which layers you need, getting them running in your environment and keeping them alive.
We specify
We look at your case and propose the tier, format and area of interest you actually need. A well-defined cut is lighter, processes faster and costs less than licensing a whole country.
We integrate
We load the layers into your platform, adjust the symbology to your criteria, configure the Network Dataset and leave it running alongside your own data. In ArcGIS, in QGIS or in whichever environment you use.
We run it
We handle the quarterly updates, the publishing of services and the support. If you choose the managed service option, the infrastructure maintenance disappears too.
We do not do traffic or mobility engineering or consultancy. Consultancies and engineering firms are our clients, never our competitors: we give them the data and the platform so they can measure, justify and defend every decision in front of whoever needs convincing.
What HERE GIS Data Suite contains.
HERE organises the product into four components. This is what lands in your environment when you license it through us.
Foundational dataset
Describes the world around you: administrative boundaries, buildings, land use, railways, water bodies, roads, bridges, ramps, footpaths and tollways. It arrives as a file geodatabase and as vector tile packages, with symbology and scale-dependent rendering already solved.
File geodatabase and vector tile packages
Road infrastructure, rules and traffic
The routable streets layer with surface type, lane counts, one-way restrictions, permitted access and relative elevations, plus the Network Dataset, historical traffic profiles, signposts, traffic lights, black spots, railway crossings and HOV lanes.
File geodatabase with network dataset
Addresses and places
Locator files built on point and micro point addresses, places, POIs, street address ranges and administrative boundaries. The places data covers more than 400 categories with detailed attribution.
File geodatabase and locator files
Cellular signals
An optional component with signal coverage and strength as polygons and along the road network, segmented by carrier and by category. Useful for network rollouts, connected services and territorial coverage studies.
File geodatabase
Data as a service
On-demand access to the datasets you need, without the cost and complexity of standing up and maintaining infrastructure. HERE offers it as a scalable capability to plug into the ecosystem you already run.
Quarterly releases
The vendor ships quarterly and documents every version: the latest is Q2 2026, preceded by Q1 2026, Q4 2025 and Q3 2025. Schema changes come itemised, so updates get planned rather than endured.
HERE GIS Data Suite comes in three tiers.
You pay for the depth your analysis needs, not for the whole catalogue. This matrix reproduces the per-tier availability published by HERE.
| Essential | Advanced | Premier | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is built for | Foundational mapping and geocoding | Adds network analysis and routing | All of the above, for large-scale operations |
| Datasets included | 44 | 67 | 72 |
| ArcGIS Pro project | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| File Geodatabase | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| GeoPackage | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Basemap in colour and greyscale | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Locator file | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Network Dataset | No | Yes | Yes |
| Geocoding against point and micro point addresses | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Point and micro point addresses as a usable layer | No | No | Yes |
| Truck restrictions and preferred truck routes | No | No | Yes |
| Safety cameras and HOV lanes | No | No | Yes |
Two details that change which tier you need. The Network Dataset additionally requires Esri's ArcGIS Network Analyst extension, licensed separately and not part of this product. And geocoding against point and unit-level addresses already works from Essential, because the locator file ships in all three tiers: you only move up to Premier if you also need those addresses as a layer you can query and join. We check both during qualification and tell you before quoting, not after.
Mobile coverage as polygons and along the road network, segmented by carrier and by category, plus mobile areas and their neighbours. It is licensed on top of any of the three tiers.
Three decisions and you have your licence.
The price of HERE GIS Data Suite comes from three variables: where the data lives, how much territory you cover and how much depth you need. That is where the adjustment comes from: a metropolitan area does not cost what a country costs, and Essential does not cost what Premier costs. We turn it into a fixed proposal, so you never have to interpret multiplier tables.
Where does the data live?
On a GIS server, in which case the number of physical cores matters; or only on the analysts' machines, in which case what counts is how many there are. The point where moving from users to a server pays off arrives sooner than people expect: we work it out with your numbers.
What territory do you need?
From a continent down to a district, via country or region. If the area is smaller than a standard category, it is adjusted according to the population it represents.
How much data depth?
Essential, Advanced or Premier, plus the mobile signals add-on if relevant. Specific terms also exist for geomarketing, educational use and perpetual rights, worth identifying early because they change the approach.
Worth knowing before you go further: the standard licence covers use inside commercial GIS applications and servers such as ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Enterprise, QGIS or MapInfo, for internal use and for non-commercial public information. Fleet management, route guidance, in-vehicle integration and the training of artificial intelligence systems fall outside the standard model and require a separate agreement. If your case sits on that line, tell us at first contact: we settle it with HERE before quoting.
For organisations that need reliable geographic data, ready to work with.
HERE GIS Data Suite gives GIS teams more than 70 HERE map layers prepared to work with directly in ArcGIS Pro and GeoPackage: roads, addresses, buildings, points of interest, administrative boundaries, postal codes, census tracts, land use, restrictions and historical traffic. They load, display and are usable practically from day one.
Its geocoding also turns postal addresses (customers, suppliers, stores, assets or service points) into coordinates you can relate to the rest of your territorial information.
Cartography, road network and historical traffic as a shared reference.
National, regional and local government
A consistent, up-to-date base map for the whole organisation.
Roads, buildings, addresses, points of interest, administrative boundaries, postal codes and census tracts ready for urban planning, mobility, infrastructure, emergencies, environment, public services or maps and reports.
For mobility, the road network and historical traffic patterns let you analyse speeds, congestion and how the infrastructure performs.
Planning to publish an interactive web viewer or portal? That scenario carries its own licence conditions and is best settled before signing.
Traffic and mobility consultancies and engineering firms
Data ready to start analysing, without spending a large part of the project finding, transforming and maintaining map data.
HERE's road network comes with rich attribution: speed limits, lanes, travel directions, restrictions, junctions, traffic lights, signs and tolls. Historical traffic patterns show how speed changes by segment, day and time.
A solid base for sustainable mobility plans, traffic and accessibility studies, infrastructure planning and impact assessment. The engineering and the consultancy are yours.
If the study needs current traffic conditions, it can be complemented with HERE real-time traffic.
Road and road-infrastructure authorities
A detailed representation of the road to manage infrastructure on a shared reference.
Road geometry with speed limits, directions, restrictions, lanes, bridges, tunnels, ramps, signs, traffic lights, railway crossings, tolls and historical traffic patterns.
It supports network analysis, works planning, accessibility studies and assessing traffic before and after an intervention.
Network, restrictions and addresses to locate assets and analyse accessibility.
Transport and logistics
For operations where not every road works for every vehicle.
A road network with traffic restrictions, road characteristics and heavy-vehicle information (Premier tier), plus historical traffic, addresses and points of interest.
Customers, warehouses, logistics hubs, suppliers or delivery points are geocoded and related to the network for territorial, accessibility and planning analysis.
Dynamic routing, ETA calculation and fleet management fall outside this licence. HERE covers those with its routing and traffic services, which we raise through the right channel.
Utilities and infrastructure operators
A shared map on which to locate and analyse assets, facilities, customers and services.
Addresses, buildings, roads, points of interest and administrative boundaries combine with the networks and assets of water, energy, telecoms and other infrastructure operators.
Geocoding turns large address databases of customers, supply points, incidents or facilities into geographic information usable inside the GIS.
Telecommunications operators
Territorial information to analyse rollout, coverage and market.
Mobile network coverage by carrier, signal strength and network type, as polygons and along the road network, with the optional cellular signals component.
Combined with addresses, buildings, postal codes, census tracts and customer data, it helps prioritise rollouts, find underserved areas or study commercial opportunities.
Geocoding for expansion, sales and marketing, no GIS expertise required.
Your spreadsheet or CRM, turned into a map.
A list of 100,000 customer addresses becomes 100,000 points on HERE map data, ready to cross with postal codes, census tracts, points of interest or the road network. You don't need to know what a feature class is: we set up the environment and the process; you bring the addresses and the business questions.
Retail and expansionSite Selection
Where should the next store, office, branch or service point go?
Addresses, buildings, points of interest, road network, accessibility, traffic, postal codes and boundaries as the base for comparing sites.
Combined with sales, customers, competitors or population, your own or third-party, they help choose the most suitable locations.
Sales and operations teamsTerritory Planning
Where are our customers and how should we organise the territory?
Geocoding places customers, prospects, suppliers or stores on the map. Crossed with postal codes, boundaries, the road network and travel times (from the Advanced tier), they let you design sales territories, service areas or delivery zones.
The result helps allocate customers, teams, branches or resources with sound criteria.
Marketing and customer acquisitionGeomarketing
Where are your best customers, and where are the ones you don't have yet?
Large address sets geocoded and related to points of interest, postal codes, census tracts, buildings and the road network.
Alongside CRM, sales or campaign data, they let you analyse territorial penetration, spot concentration areas, find potential markets and target acquisition.
HERE provides the geography and the geocoding; business or population data comes from your own systems or other sources. Geomarketing has its own licence conditions: we fit it before the project starts.
HERE Technologies publishes HERE GIS Data Suite. Geograma answers for the project.
HERE is one of the reference cartography providers on the market. We integrate its catalogue into GIS projects from our position as a NavPro company, and we answer to you for the outcome: the scope of the licence, the load into your environment and the maintenance.
- More than 70 datasets and feature classes with symbology already applied, according to HERE's documentation.
- Data built on four decades of mapping experience, according to HERE.
- A quarterly release cycle with detailed release notes: Q2 2026, Q1 2026, Q4 2025, Q3 2025.
- Open formats alongside the Esri ones: GeoPackage is available in all three tiers.
- The product is built specifically for Esri environments, according to HERE.
What people ask us before we start.
Do we need any Esri licence on top of this one?
For the Network Dataset, yes: HERE documents that it requires the ArcGIS Network Analyst extension, licensed separately and not part of the product. The rest of the content — cartography, geocoding and vector tiles — ships for ArcGIS Pro: you need ArcGIS Pro itself, but no additional extension. If you don't work on Esri, the GeoPackage output is the alternative, covered in the next question. We check this during qualification and tell you before quoting.
Does it work if we don't use Esri?
Partly. The product is built specifically for Esri environments, but HERE includes GeoPackage in all three tiers, an open SQLite-based format that opens in QGIS, MapInfo and practically any GIS platform. What is genuinely ArcGIS-specific is the Network Dataset and the locator files; if you work in QGIS we will propose how to cover those two functions.
How many layers does each tier include?
According to the matrix published by HERE: 44 datasets in Essential, 67 in Advanced and 72 in Premier, cumulatively. The cellular signals component adds four more feature classes and is licensed separately.
Are there territories with different conditions?
Yes. China, Japan and South Korea require a separate agreement with HERE. If your project covers any of those countries it has to be handled separately, and it is better to know that before planning timelines.
Can we use it to manage our fleet or our mobile assets?
Not under this licence, and the perimeter is wider than it looks: alongside fleet management it also excludes mobile asset tracking, delivery route optimisation, telematics and usage-based insurance, turn-by-turn route guidance and in-vehicle or ADAS integration. All of that is licensed through a different route within HERE's catalogue. If your case sits there, tell us early: we raise it through the right channel before running numbers.
Can we train artificial intelligence models on this data?
Not under the standard licence, which expressly prohibits using the licensed material with machine learning and artificial intelligence systems. If your project needs it, a specific agreement has to be explored.
What about drones or unmanned vehicles?
Also no. The data cannot be used in applications managing unmanned ground or aerial vehicles, nor for automatic control of vehicle behaviour. Worth knowing if your GIS team and a drone team sit in the same organisation: the licence covers the first, not the second.
What happens to the data when the subscription ends?
By default it cannot be used after the end date. A perpetual rights option does allow it and is licensed as an add-on, with a minimum term. We assess it with you based on the intended use.
Does every update force us to redo our work?
No, but it should be planned. HERE publishes quarterly release notes itemising schema changes, including field renames and changes to type or length. We read those notes and flag what affects your processes before applying the update.
We are an agency or a consultancy — can we use it on client projects?
Yes. Internal use expressly includes distributing maps and reports for consulting purposes on project-based work, so you can hand your client the analysis produced with this data. The limit is the format and the product: the deliverable is a static output, and building an interactive application or a product for third parties on top of the data is a different licence. If the project involves propensity or segmentation models trained with machine learning, tell us: that part falls outside the standard licence.
Can we try it before committing?
Yes, and that is how we recommend starting: a short technical session to frame the case and sample data for your area so you can load it in your own environment. The decision is made looking at the result, not a generic demo.
Let's start with your area of interest.
Tell us which territory you analyse and which questions you need to answer. We come back with a HERE GIS Data Suite tier and format recommendation, sample data to test and a fixed proposal.
