Amazon Location Service now supports GrabMaps with enhanced APIs for Southeast Asia

Amazon Location ServiceAWS · Front-End Web & Mobile

Amazon Location Service now supports GrabMaps with simplified APIs that eliminate upfront resource creation, making it faster to build maps, places, and routing applications with high-quality Southeast Asian data. GrabMaps provides detailed, region-specific mapping data built for Southeast Asia's unique geography, road networks, and local navigation patterns. The data is continuously refreshed using Grab's extensive regional operations to maintain current coverage of road conditions, address changes, and points of interest.

The new APIs follow industry-standard patterns that let you make calls without creating resources upfront, reducing setup friction and accelerating time to integration. Whether you are building delivery logistics, ride-hailing, or consumer applications, GrabMaps provides trusted local data for Southeast Asian customers.

GrabMaps-powered location services are available in the Asia Pacific (Singapore) (ap-southeast-1) and Asia Pacific (Malaysia) (ap-southeast-5) regions. GrabMaps provides geospatial data coverage across eight Southeast Asian countries: Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Myanmar, and Cambodia.
