1.
Verifying the Location Data:
HERE runs quality control tests so that
situations like routing drivers the wrong way on
a one-way street don't happen.
3.
Compilation:
This is when the raw data is compiled, so items
such as the look and feel of the map and the
routing algorithms can be read by the navigation
hardware.
2.
Database Upload:
The entire database is transferred over to a
partner company of HERE and Volkswagen for
compilation.
4.
Creation of Golden Master:
Rigorous examination of data is carried out
and extensive road testing is conducted so that
drivers will always be safely navigated to their
destination. Only once this is done will the golden
stamp of approval from all involved be given.
5.
Distribution:
The final product has digital rights management
attributes applied to protect against unrightful
copying and distribution, and then is made
available for distribution to the end-consumer.
Map freshness
When a map update becomes available for customers, it is normal for the data to be 9-12 months old. Please see the steps below that the
HERE Map goes through before it reaches the market, which explains this time lag.
