Description

Hello,
as the documentation for geocoding at HERE states, they switch to a new API:

Note: This service is no longer being actively developed. We will only provide critical fixes for this service in future. Instead, use the new Geocoding and Search API v7 service.

Since it is basically a complete new provider, I've created my own provider based on the exisiting HERE provider. It replaces the old functionality.

What is the plan on this? Both API endpoints provide different data.

I am happy to pr my changes, however, some functionality has changed and because of that, it would be a breaking change.

Research direction

Compare the existing HERE provider with the linked provider implementation and review HERE's Geocoding and Search API v7 documentation. Clarify whether the project should replace the current provider or add a new one, then define the breaking-change scope and validation needed before considering the migration done.
