Description
Link
https://github.com/visgl/deck.gl/blob/master/docs/get-started/using-with-map.md
Description
- Link to https://www.harp.gl/ is dead.
- https://github.com/heremaps/harp.gl is archived already, "HERE Maps API for JavaScript" is recommended as replacement.
- Most recent harp.gl release was in January 2022.
So:
- The URL should probably point at https://github.com/heremaps/harp.gl for now (while harp.gl is supported, but no real website exists anymore).
- harp.gl support should potentially be deprecated in the future (as there likely won't be many users in the future as people migrate to other basemaps).
- Support for HERE Maps should potentially be added instead (for users which follow the harp.gl recommendation).

Research direction
Open docs/get-started/using-with-map.md and inspect the harp.gl link. Confirm the current destination and update the dead website reference without expanding into the proposed deprecation or HERE Maps support work; done means the documentation no longer links to the dead URL.
