In order to keep jHERE as small as possible, the plugin contains only a subset of all
the functionalities that are available via the HERE Maps API.
Everything else is available via extensions. A few of them are already available on Github.
Geocoding, routing, shapes are just a few examples
of what can be done with extensions.
It is possible to create a custom build of jHERE that includes all the official extensions you need minified and concatenated in a single file.
