About this tool
This tool is a web-based HERE map style explorer and tile inspector built on top of Leaflet and HERE Map Tile APIs.
It allows a user to:
• Switch between multiple HERE basemap styles (explore, lite, logistics, satellite, topo – day and night variants) using a clean dropdown menu.
• Visualize the currently selected style on an interactive Leaflet map, with optional HERE Traffic Flow overlay.
• Automatically capture the first loaded tile for each selected style, ensuring a single, clear sample per style change.
• Inspect the exact CURL request used to fetch that tile from the HERE Map Tile API, with the API key masked for safe sharing.
• Preview the actual tile image returned by HERE directly in the UI, as a visual representation of the API response.
• Copy the generated CURL command to the clipboard or download it as a text file for debugging, documentation, or integration purposes.
This tool is designed as a developer-friendly helper for testing, understanding, and integrating HERE raster basemaps. It provides immediate, visual feedback on how different map styles look and how tile URLs are constructed, making it ideal for:
• API prototyping and experimentation
• Map style comparison and UI design work
• GIS and logistics application development
• QA testing of map appearance and tile access
• Developer onboarding to HERE Map Tile APIs
Built for modern web workflows inside the Placematic environment, the tool offers a clean and efficient way to interact with HERE’s map styles, traffic overlays, and tile infrastructure.
