Nokia Maps: retrieve speed limit based on coordinates using REST API

I am sure it's possible to retrieve speed limit on the road based on coordinates. I just can't find any example (rest API). As I understand I need to use routing mechanism to do that?

Solution

  • You will need to use the getLinkInfo endpoint from the Enterprise Routing API.. The speedLimit element returned is in m/s so multiply by 3.6 for km/h or 2.23 for mph. If the speedLimit element is missing then the national speed limit applies.

    A working example can be found on the HERE Maps Community Examples on GitHub
