Remove Labels from Nokia Maps "Here"

I am using the Javascript Api for Nokia "Here". I don't want the Labels of the country, state, city, etc appear on my map.

This issue can be resolved by changing the map type to "Satellite_plain". But I have restriction of using the "Terrain" view in my project.

The list of supported map types can be found in the API Documentation here. Unfortunately TERRAIN_PLAIN (or something like that) is not a supported map type - only satellite imagery without labels is available "out of the box".

You will have to use the ImgTileProvider class to create your own tile overlay and hook it up to a Tile Map Server (TMS). The tiles you are after are actually the terrain basetiles as defined in the Map Tile API ( the documentation can be found here - log-in required) You can then use the terrain base tiles as a TMS as shown below:

function getTerrainTileUrl (zoom, row, column) {
    // This uses the CIT server. Replace with LIVE when ready.
    return "http://1.aerial.maps.cit.api.here.com/maptile/2.1/basetile/newest/terrain.day/"+
        zoom +"/" + column + "/" + row + "/256/png8?app_id=" + nokia.Settings.app_id +
        "&app_code=" + nokia.Settings.app_code;
}


function addTileOverlayToMap (map){
    tileProviderOptions = {
        getUrl: getTerrainTileUrl,
        max:20,
        min:1
    };
    terrainOverlay = new 
            nokia.maps.map.provider.ImgTileProvider(tileProviderOptions);
    map.overlays.add(terrainOverlay);
}

The result (compared with an ordinary TERRAIN map can be seen below:
