Here maps are slow with NT 14.21

[jari@softmade.fi]

Any thoughts on why Here Maps is much slower on NT 14.21 than on 12.20?
The slowness occurs when fetching a new map, so for testing purposes, please clear the C:\temp\maps folder.

Versions
NT 14.21
Draw 4.36
St 3.67

Hi Jari,

May just be the different API.
I presume you switched your HERE credentials to using the new HERE Platform API's?
(ie you signed up for the new HERE Platform product, nd you put your new credentials in the global extension?)

Hi Bruce

I created a new access to Here and added my credit card to it. It didn't solve the issue. I also noticed that net.GetLocation(address, Net:GetMap) is no longer functioning. Attached are some pictures.

you're using the NetMapsHERE class there, but I think you want to switch to the NetMapsHEREPlatform.

From the update notes;
Maps: Added NetMapsHEREPlatform class. Use Global Extension template setting to switch maps to using this class. Necessary if you have a HERE Platform account.

Thanks Bruce!

That was the issue, but still, the speed isn't the same as before. Maybe the problem lies with the new HERE Platform.

Hi Jari,

We see the same issue.
Had to switch to Mapbox.  Unfortunately not done by NT, and therefore not with clickable markers like Here Maps.

Hi Poul,

did you switch be creating a new class derived from the NetMaps class?
That would be the easiest way to support new services - all you have to do is form the API requests, and handle the responses. The base class does all the work and it remains compatible with the templates.

Hi Bruce,

Its been a while since I switched to the new platform and the new class  (I actually believe that Here requires that you use the new platform now).

No, sorry, I meant;

When implementing MapBox - did you write a derived class - derived from NetMaps, which just implemented the MapBox API's in place of the HERE Api's ?
