Announcing new APIs for Amazon Location Service Routes, Places, and Maps
- Amazon Location Service has released 17 new and enhanced APIs for the Routes, Places, and Maps services designed to create a more streamlined user experience for developers.
- The new APIs include advanced route optimisation features, toll cost calculation, GPS tracing, different map styles for static and dynamic rendering, and more detailed information on points of interest.
- New and improved features to the Places service allow more detailed search capabilities, with enhanced business details featuring additional attributes for points of interest.
- Amazon's Enhanced Location Service APIs include 10 updated APIs and seven entirely new APIs, addressing developer feedback for additional capabilities, purpose-built APIs, and more granular location data.
- These new tools make Amazon's location-based service more comprehensive and accessible to a wider range of developers.
- The updated Routes API allows for advanced route planning and customisation options, with features like calculating isolines to identify service areas and minimize travel time and distance, or calculating toll costs for precise estimation of routes involving toll roads.
- Maps, with its updated APIs, now offer more purpose-built map styles crafted by skilled cartographers, and features for rendering non-interactive maps for reporting or visualisation purposes.
- The enhanced Places API now provides more detailed proximity-based search capabilities and predictive suggestions with greater information on points of interest, such as business hours and contact information.
- These APIs were developed based on customer needs and feedback to create a more comprehensive, out-of-the-box location solution that integrates with AWS Command Line Interface and REST APIs.
- To get started, developers are encouraged to explore the updated Amazon Location Service Developer Guide, integrate their favorite AWS SDKs, and explore how the APIs can enhance their applications.
