# What is a data provider? Use Amazon Location Service to access geolocation resources from multiple data providers through your AWS account without requiring third-party contracts or integrations. This can help you focus on building your application, without having to manage third-party accounts, credentials, licenses, and billing. The following Amazon Location services use data providers. + ****Maps**** – Choose styles from different map providers when you [create a map resource](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/location/previous/developerguide/using-maps.html). You can use map resources to build an interactive map to visualize data. + ****Places**** – Choose a data provider when you [create a place index resource](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/location/previous/developerguide/places-prerequisites.html#create-place-index-resource) to support queries for geocoding, reverse geocoding, and searches. + ****Routes**** – Choose a data provider to support queries for route calculations in different geographies and applications when you [create a route calculator resource](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/location/previous/developerguide/routes-prerequisites.html#create-route-calculator-resource). With your chosen data provider, Amazon Location Service enables you to calculate routes based on up-to-date road network data, live traffic data, planned closures, and historic traffic patterns. Each provider gathers and curates their data using different means. They may also have varying expertise in different regions of the world. This section provides details about our data providers. You may select any data provider based on your preference. Make sure you read the terms of conditions when using Amazon Location Service data providers. For more information, see the [AWS Service Terms](https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/). Also see the [Data privacy](data-privacy.md) section for more information about how Amazon Location protects your privacy. ## Map styles Each data provider provides a set of map styles to render the map data that they provide. For example a style might include satellite imagery, or might be optimized to show the roads for navigation. You can find the list and examples of the styles for each provider in the following topics. + [Esri map styles](esri.md#esri-map-styles) + [Grab map styles](grab.md#grab-map-styles) + [HERE map styles](HERE.md#HERE-map-styles) + [Open Data map styles](open-data.md#open-data-map-styles) ## More information about each data provider The following links provide more information about each data provider. + [Esri](esri.md) + [GrabMaps](grab.md) + [HERE Technologies](HERE.md) + [Open Data](open-data.md) # Features by data provider This section describes the features available in Amazon Location Service, categorized by data provider. The following table provides a high-level overview of the features. | Data provider | Geographical coverage | Feature coverage | AWS Region | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Esri | Global | Maps, Places, Routes | [All Regions](location-regions.md#available-regions) where Amazon Location is available. | | Grab | [Southeast Asia](grab.md#grab-coverage-area) | Maps, Places, Routes | Asia Pacific (Singapore), ap-southeast-1, only. | | HERE | Global | Maps, Places, Routes | [All Regions](location-regions.md#available-regions) where Amazon Location is available. | | Open Data | Global | Maps | [All Regions](location-regions.md#available-regions) where Amazon Location is available. | The following tabs show details within each feature area. ------ #### [ Map Features ] The following table shows the map features by data provider.

Different areas of the map may have different maximums; for example, ocean tiles may have fewer detailed zoom levels than areas in major cities. MapLibre (and other map rendering engines) allow you to set minimum and maximum zoom levels, and will also honor the data provider zoom levels in an area, so you do not have to write code to handle these discrepancies. ------ #### [ Places and Search ] The following table shows the place and search features by data provider.

You can't use Open Data as a data provider to support queries for geocoding, reverse geocoding, and searches, or to support queries to calculate a route. ## Terms of use and data attribution: Open Data Before you use Open Data, be sure you can comply with all applicable legal requirements, including license terms applicable to Open Data and AWS. For more information about the AWS requirements, see [AWS Service Terms](https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/). For information about Open Data attribution guidelines, see OpenStreetMap's [Copyright and License](https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright) and OpenStreetMap's [Licence/Attribution Guidelines](https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Attribution_Guidelines). ## Error reporting and contributing to Open Data OpenStreetMap (OSM) and Natural Earth are community-driven open data projects. If you encounter a problem with the data, you can report the errors or directly contribute fixes or suggestions. + To report an error or offer a suggestion in OSM, you can create a *note* on the map. This is a comment on the map that assists contributors in making fixes to the map. You create notes through the [OpenStreetMap website](https://openstreetmap.org/). For more information about notes, see [Notes](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes) in the *OpenStreetMap wiki*. + For more information about contributing directly to OpenStreetMap, including adding locations and fixing errors, see [Contribute map data](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contribute_map_data) in the *OpenStreetMap wiki*. + To submit a correction request for data in Natural Earth, you can submit an issue through the [Natural Earth website](https://www.naturalearthdata.com/issues/). **Note** Correcting errors in OpenStreetMap can happen quickly, however, it can take time for corrections to appear in the Daylight map distribution of the OSM data that is used by the Open Data provider. The [Daylight Map Distribution](https://daylightmap.org) website provides more information about the process. Additionally, Amazon Location Service updates the map data used in Amazon Location Service approximately monthly. # Terms of use and data attribution for data providers Before you use a data provider, be sure you can comply with all applicable legal requirements, including license terms applicable to the use of the provider. For more information about the AWS requirements, see [AWS Service Terms](https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/). When using a data provider with your Amazon Location resources for your application or documentation, be sure to provide attributions for each data provider you use. For more information on compliance and attribution for each data provider, see the following topics. + **Esri** – [Terms of use and data attribution: Esri](esri.md#esri-terms) + **Grab** – [Terms of use and data attribution: Grab](grab.md#grab-terms) + **HERE** – [Terms of use and data attribution: HERE](HERE.md#HERE-terms) + **Open data** – [Terms of use and data attribution: Open Data](open-data.md#open-data-terms)
