## HERE map styles
<a name="HERE-map-styles"></a>

Amazon Location Service supports the following HERE map styles when [creating a map resource](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/location/previous/developerguide/using-maps.html):

**Note**  
HERE map styles that are not listed in this section are currently not supported.

------
#### [ HERE Explore ]

**HERE Explore**

![\[alt text not found\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/location/previous/developerguide/images/StyleVectorHere.png)


**Map style name**: `VectorHereExplore`

**HERE Explore**

A detailed, neutral base map of the world. The street map includes highways, major roads, minor roads, railways, water features, cities, parks, landmarks, building footprints, and administrative boundaries. Includes a fully designed map of Japan.

Fonts

Amazon Location serves fonts using `[GetMapGlyphs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/location-maps/latest/APIReference/API_GetMapGlyphs.html#API_GetMapGlyphs_RequestSyntax)`. The following are available font stacks for this map:
+ Fira GO Italic
+ Fira GO Regular
+ Fira GO Bold
+ Noto Sans CJK JP Light
+ Noto Sans CJK JP Regular
+ Noto Sans CJK JP Bold

------
#### [ HERE Imagery ]

**HERE Imagery**

![\[alt text not found\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/location/previous/developerguide/images/here_satellite_raster.png)


**Map style name**: `RasterHereExploreSatellite`

**HERE Imagery**

HERE Imagery provides high resolution satellite imagery with global coverage.

------
#### [ HERE Hybrid ]

**HERE Hybrid**

![\[alt text not found\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/location/previous/developerguide/images/here_satellite_hybrid.png)


**Map style name**: `HybridHereExploreSatellite`

**HERE Hybrid**

HERE Hybrid style displays the road network, street names, and city labels over satellite imagery. This style overlays two map tiles: the satellite image (raster tile) in the background and the road network and labels (vector tile) on top. This style will automatically retrieve both the raster and vector tiles required to render the map.

**Note**  
Hybrid styles use both vector and raster tiles when rendering the map that you see. This means that more tiles are retrieved than when using either vector or raster tiles alone. Your charges will include all tiles retrieved.
