−
With Nokia Maps API you can start without having any credentials given, but you might face a performance gap. In order to get the full potential out of the offering, you must get the credentials that authenticate your application against the Services. Please read through the Location API.  For more information on how to obtain the credentials, please start with the  Nokia Maps API Developers Guide section "Acquiring API credentials".
+
Nokia provides several services options within the Maps API offering. The service is free to use, but  you must obtain and use authentication and authorization credentials to use the services. Please read the
 +
[http://developer.here.net/terms_conditions Terms and Conditions] and check the [http://developer.here.net/web/guest/plans Pricing Plans page] to decide which business model best fits your needs. Authentication requires unique Maps API credentials, namely an AppId and a token. You can get these credentials free for free following the instructions [http://developer.here.net/docs/maps_js/topics/credentials.html#acquiring-credentials here]

Prerequisites

Nokia Maps API supported web browser (basically any modern web browser)

Important note about maps credentials

Nokia provides several services options within the Maps API offering. The service is free to use, but you must obtain and use authentication and authorization credentials to use the services. Please read the Terms and Conditions and check the Pricing Plans page to decide which business model best fits your needs. Authentication requires unique Maps API credentials, namely an AppId and a token. You can get these credentials free for free following the instructions here

Implementation

This is a full HTML & JavaScript example. Add in your own AppId and Token and feel free to modify and use for your own purposes.
