Amazon Location Service

AWS announced enhanced map styling features for Amazon Location Service, enabling users to further customize maps with terrain visualization, contour lines, real-time traffic data, and transportation-specific routing information. Developers can create more detailed and informative maps tailored for various use cases, such as outdoor navigation, logistics planning, and traffic management, by leveraging parameters like terrain, contour-density, traffic, and travel-mode through the GetStyleDescriptor API.

These new map styling features are available in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Stockholm), Europe (Spain), and South America (São Paulo).
