When a city floods, the danger often isn't the water — it's one blocked road severing access to a hospital. FLOODLINE builds a routable graph from 4,892 real Mumbai roads and 408 hospitals, then runs live Dijkstra/A* routing to simulate road closures and automatically rank the roads whose failure cuts off the most hospital journeys. Built on Amazon Location Service, AWS Amplify, OpenStreetMap, and the India Flood Inventory.

An hourly map of who can walk to scheduled transit in Mercer County, NJ, built with Amazon Location Service isolines and transit routing, S3 and CloudFront.

An interactive geospatial decision-support platform for Madurai that connects urban hazard mapping, flood-aware routing, historical spatial analysis, and municipal response through Amazon Location Service, Apache Iceberg, Amazon S3, and Amazon Athena.

Explore terrain-based flood exposure, NASA satellite rainfall, and critical infrastructure through an interactive geospatial platform powered by AWS.

Explore how AI, data science, and AWS cloud services can work together to design a smarter route-planning system. This article introduces a proposed SafeRoute architecture using AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon S3, and Amazon Location Service, while highlighting data quality, privacy, and responsible AI.

The Mason location of the Amazon-owned grocery chain, which has been open since 2007, will soon relocate to West Chester.

Amazon Location Service launches an interactive API Playground for testing Places, Routes, and Maps APIs without coding.

Amazon Location Service now offers a complete, interactive API Playground that lets developers explore and test every Places, Routes, and Maps API visually without writing code. With this release, all 14 Amazon Location Service Places, Maps and Routes APIs are available in an interactive API Playground, where developers can make real API calls, see results rendered on an interactive map, adjust parameters, and copy ready-to-use request snippets directly into their applications. The API Playground covers Amazon Location Service's Places, Routes, and Maps APIs: search and geocoding (Geocode, ReverseGeocode, Autocomplete, Suggest, SearchText, SearchNearby, and GetPlace), route planning and optimization (CalculateRoutes, CalculateRouteMatrix, CalculateIsolines, OptimizeWaypoints, and SnapToRoads), and mapping (Dynamic Map and GetStaticMap). Customers can simulate validating delivery addresses, planning truck-safe multi-stop routes, visualizing drive-time service areas, or embedding maps into their apps — with no SDK setup or test scripts required. The API Playground is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Spain), Europe (Stockholm), and South America (São Paulo). To get started, visit the https://console.aws.amazon.com/location/api-playground in the AWS Console, or learn more in the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/location/latest/developerguide/api-playground.html.
