Roads: General info

HERE maps include all kinds

of existing roads, right

through to pedestrian

walkways and trails.

To be able to prepare correct

routing information for each

of them, it is important to

define the different

road types and to give

detailed information on their

characteristics.

Keep in mind:

The editing zoom level for

roads is 16

Details panel Roads

Structure of a road

A mapped road is formed by the road segments and

its nodes and shape points.

NodeDiamond shapes at the beginning and end of a segment, if

the roads are connected.

Or big round shapes, if the roads are not connected.

Shape PointRound shapes between the nodes, that are not at the

beginning or end of a segment.

Sub shape PointSmall, dark points on a road.

You’ll find them between two shape points.

If you move a sub shape point to a new position, it turns

into a shape point, and new sub shape points will be

created between it and other shape points.

Road attributes

It’s important to designate a road-type, because it defines the relevance

and importance of a road when optimizing route calculations.


Highway

Main

Local access

Residential

Trail

A controlled access highway with a central

reservation between cities and countries.

A primary road that provides a fast connection to

highways, cities and villages.

A secondary road that provides a relatively fast

connection to villages, cities and primary roads.

A street in a neighbourhood that provides access

primarily to houses and apartment buildings, but

also connected to primary and secondary roads.

A track, often with a natural surface, usually used

for walking or cycling.

Road attributes


Give the local name of the road and the language in which the name is given. It’s

possible to add multiple names or road numbers.

Choose the speed range that best describes the average speed of vehicles driving on

this road.

Indicate the permitted direction of travel on a road. Select ‘2-way’ if the traffic can flow

legally in both directions. Otherwise, indicate the correct one-way direction.

Indicate the number of lanes in each direction. In case the number of lanes is different for

each direction, choose the higher number.

• Paved: Choose this if most of the road surface is made of tarmac (asphalt) or other

paving substance.

• Poor surface quality: Choose this if the road surface consists mainly of uneven or

broken pavement.

Define the speed limit according to the driving direction.

Road attributes


Refers to the type of vehicles that are legally permitted to use the road. Click each option

to indicate if access is allowed or not.

Specify the structure type of a road.

• A tunnel is a covered passageway through or under an obstruction.

• A bridge is a structure that allows a road or walkway to pass over another road,

railway, waterway or valley.

• If a road is neither on a bridge nor inside a tunnel, choose ‘open road’.

Choose this if the road is good for cycling.

Refers to the road attributes of the selected road.

Protected roads

To highlight protected roads, click on the lock icon in the bottom right corner. Protected

roads will be highlighted with dark blue.

Keep in mind:

You can ONLY change the non-geometry attributes of a protected road.

Adding, moving or deleting nodes or whole protected roads can break the geocoding of attributes or harm

other complex features. This can create inconsistencies in the road network. Therefore these features are

protected against editing.

• You can change attributes unrelated to the spatial accuracy such as modify info for places located

along the road.

• You can connect new roads, but it’s not possible to change the shape of any protected roads.

• If the geometry of a protected road has changed significantly e.g. due to road works or changes in

course or lanes of the road, please send us a Map Problem report by right-clicking the node to be

changed and selecting Report a map problem option.


A protected road has a more complex geometry which was collected by HERE field experts using special GPS

equipment and other tools to increase geometrical accuracy.

• General info

• Place attributes

• Adding a place

• Modifying a place

Places: General info

Places are points of public

interest, such as hospitals,

businesses, monuments,

etc.

Places in Map Creator are

always associated with a

road (if there’s one

nearby) by a routing point,

so that place information

can be used later for

navigation purposes.

If you want to add the correct

position of your private home, add

a house number, not a place.

Speed up validation

• When adding or updating a POI, you will find yellow highlighted fields in the details

panel. The highlights indicate which information is required to add the place to our

database.

• The required information is related to the place categories, so it varies from one

category to another.

• A POI can be saved if not all the required information is completed, BUT before the

edit can be added to our database, all the missing required information must be

completed.

Tips & tricks: How to detect the editing level

• The editing level refers to the zoom level where you can actually make

changes in the map. For editing roads you need to be in at least zoom

level 16 and for Places in at least zoom level 18.

• Editing level can be seen in the URL after the latitude and longitude:

• You will be able to edit once you see the button change color:

Note: If Places or House Number layers are turned off in the Layers menu,

the respective buttons won‘t be highlighted even on correct editing level.

Tips & Tricks: Roads

• Adding roads

Start by adding the main roads in cities or villages and add residential

roads later. That way, you avoid staggered geocoding and have a

smoother workflow.

• Labeling roads & places

Name roads immediately after you add them.

When road A is joined with road B, the latter will be split into two. So if

road B hasn’t been named yet, you’ll have to name it twice, once for

each road segment or make use of the multiple link selection

• Adding multiple names to roads

To give a road multiple names, select the road and go to the details

panel.

Type in the main road name then choose the language they should be

associated with and type in the alternate names.


Tips & Tricks: Adding bridges & tunnels

• When adding a road that crosses a river with a bridge or passes under another road with a tunnel, be sure to create

a new section for that part of the road.

• To do this add one shape point at the beginning of a tunnel or bridge and another at the end, right-click on the

shape points and use the ‘Divide into 2 road segments’ functionality to make nodes from them.

• Then select the new defined road section and go to the details panel to set the type of road to ‘Bridge’ or ‘Tunnel’.

Also add a name if applicable.


Tips & Tricks: Selecting road segments

• Selecting several road segments, one at time

Hold the Shift key on your keyboard and click on each

segment you want to select.

• Selecting several road segments in a rectangular area

Hold the Shift key and draw a rectangle with your mouse

that contains all the segments you want to select within

its boundaries.

• Selecting several road segments that have the same name

Hold the Alt key and click a road to select like-named

segments that lie within the current map view port


Tips & tricks: Road attributes

• Copying & pasting road attributes

You can copy and paste the details for one road into another by right-

clicking on the first road and selecting ‘Copy details’.

Then right-click on the other road and select ‘Paste details’.

• The multiple link selection can be used to select and change multiple

roads/links at the same time.

Copy/paste copy/paste all attributes in this way

Keep in mind: You can’t change all road names in one step if the roads

have different names

Change their attributes at the same time:

Select the road segments and you can change all their attributes in one

step, such as average speed, total number of lanes, structure type etc. in

the details panel.


Tips & Tricks: Reshaping roads

• Reshaping roads

You can reshape a road to make it better follow the

curve of an actual road by adding more points with the

‘Shape road’ option. Simply right-click on a road and

select ‘Shape road’.

OR

Move a sub shape point to a new position. In that way

a new Shape point will be created.

Tips & Tricks: Identifying roads with no name

• To check whether all roads within your view have been named, select the

‘Roads without Names‘ option from the Highlight bar at the bottom right

corner of the screen.

• Roads without a name are highlighted in blue.

• In most cases trails have no names assigned.


• If you know the name of one of the highlighted

roads, just select it and type in the road name in

the details panel.

Tips & Tricks: Places

• Places are always associated with a named road and an address.

If you want a place you’re adding not to be associated with a road, remove the routing point

(the red line) by right-clicking on the place marker and then selecting ‘Remove routing point’


Tips & Tricks: Map Feedback

• If you want to report a problem with the map or add new

information but can’t do it through a standard edit, you can

use the 'Report a map problem‘ option.

1. Zoom in as close as possible to the location where you want to

report a problem

2. Right-click on the map exactly where you want to add information

and select 'Report a map problem' from the context menu

OR

Click on Feedback at the bottom right corner of the screen.

3. Select the type of change you want to submit

4. Select the specific type of problem

5. Give as many details as possible and send your report
