Amazon Location Service uses Esri’s location services to provide maps and geocoding to AWS customers. Esri’s location services are built with high-quality, authoritative, and ready-to-use location data, curated by expert teams of cartographers, geographers, and demographers. Using Amazon Location Service, AWS customers have access to various styles of map tiles provided by Esri, which are regularly updated for accuracy by a dedicated team of expert in-house cartographers from Esri, maintaining a global collection of up-to-date authoritative data with strong lineage, accuracy, and completeness. The cartographers implement feedback from Esri’s user base to maintain the accuracy and the completeness of Esri’s location data; for example, the cartographers leverage feedback from authoritative transportation networks to regularly update Esri’s roads and highways information.

With the geocoding capability provided by Esri, AWS customers using Amazon Location Service can search for millions of addresses, businesses, places, landmarks, and other points of interest around the globe in English as well as in supported local languages. With the reverse geocoding provided by Esri, AWS customers can obtain textual descriptions such as nearest address, intersection, or place-name for coordinates on a map.

Esri provides street-level address data for more than 149 countries that covers more than 90 percent of the world's population, using the most up-to-date reference data from authoritative sources, including community, commercial, and governmental providers. This allows Esri to deliver high-quality geocoding for addresses and locations around the world. Esri and AWS deliver the geocoding service through a robust cloud infrastructure that offers a high level of scalability to support increased workloads and customer demands. Distributed cloud infrastructure also ensures a highly available geocoding service that provides reliable access to the service anywhere, anytime and on any device. Furthermore, global cloud infrastructure ensures low network latency and thus, offers extremely fast response time that can meet your business requirements.

With routing provided by Esri, AWS customers using Amazon Location Service can find the quickest or shortest routes based on time and/or distance, solve for two stop locations or create a sequence that puts multiple stops in the best order. Users can also build these routes with live or historical traffic.
