XYZ Hub Connector is a QGIS plugin that allows users to connect and to update data directly into HERE XYZ Hub. QGIS users can easily and quickly publish their work and analysis in vectorized format to the XYZ platform. Public and personal XYZ space data can be loaded into QGIS for further analysis and visualization.

• QGIS version 3.0 or later

1. In QGIS, navigate to menu Plugins > Manage and Install Plugins... > All
2. Search for XYZ Hub Connector > Install plugin
3. Switch to tab Installed, make sure the plugin XYZ Hub Connector is enabled.

1. Download the latest release zip file
2. In QGIS, navigate to menu Plugins > Manage and Install Plugins... > Install from ZIP, then select the downloaded zip file.
3. Switch to tab Installed, make sure the plugin XYZ Hub Connector is enabled.

Once you have installed and enabled the plugin XYZ Hub Connector in QGIS, it can be accessed via the toolbar, or the menu Web. The main dialog contains 5 tabs:

• Load : load data from an XYZ space into QGIS, given a valid token and server (PRD/CIT). To learn more about how to generate a token, refer to https://www.here.xyz/api/getting-token/ and https://xyz.api.here.com/token-ui/. There are 2 modes of loading, Tile loading (default) and Iterate loading.

  • Tile loading loads the data in the current bounding box interactively everytime the user moves around the map, suitable for visualization of large spaces. Chunk size indicates the number of features per tile.
  • The other mode Iterate loading tries to load all data available in the given XYZ space iteratively, suitable for visualization of small spaces. Chunk size indicates the number of features per iteration.
  • Layer categorization controls the organization of data in XYZ space into different QGIS layers based on fields similarity, with 3 levels:
    • single: merge data into 1 layer per geometry type
    • maximal: do not merge data, as many layers per geometry type
    • balanced: merge only similar data into 1 layer, balanced number of layers per geometry type

• Upload : upload current Vector Layer to a new XYZ Hub space. For this to work, make sure that your token also has write-level permissions.

• Manage : create new space, edit or delete existing space.

• Map Tile : create HERE Map Tile layer given valid app_id and app_code.

• Settings :

  • Clear cache : empty the temporary cache folder. Active layers will be invalid after clearing cache.

When the user make some edits to the loaded layer, the changes can be pushed to XYZ Hub via the button Push changes in the toolbar.

1. Clone this repository.
2. Build the plugin by running sh makeBuild.sh <VERSION NUMBER>, e.g. sh makeBuild.sh 1.5.5.
