Overview
Amazon Location Service provides geospatial APIs for maps, geocoding, routing, places search, geofencing, and tracking. Prefer the bundled JavaScript client (@aws/amazon-location-client) for web development and use resourceless API operations to avoid managing AWS resources.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
Building location-aware web or mobile applications
Working with Amazon Location Service projects
Implementing maps, geocoding, routing, or places search
Adding geofencing or device tracking functionality
Integrating geospatial features into AWS applications
Do NOT use this skill for:
Google Maps, Mapbox, or Leaflet-with-OSM projects (unless migrating to Amazon Location)
Geocode (Forward/Reverse): Convert addresses to coordinates and vice versa
Search (Text/Nearby): Find points of interest with contact and hours info
Autocomplete: Predict addresses based on user input
Suggest: Predict places and points of interest based on partial or misspelled user input
Get Place: Retrieve place details by place ID
Jobs (SDK: location, JS: @aws-sdk/client-location)
Address Validation: Verify and standardize addresses in bulk with the asynchronous Jobs API (StartJob with Action ValidateAddress, then GetJob/ListJobs/CancelJob). It adds what Geocode lacks — a postal-authority verdict (ValidationGranularity, Mailable/Locatable, per-component StatusDetail), not just coordinates. Coverage is US, CA, UK, and AU only; for other countries use Geocode.
