# CreateMap **Important** This operation is no longer current and may be deprecated in the future. We recommend upgrading to the Maps API V2 unless you require `Grab` data. `CreateMap` is part of a previous Amazon Location Service Maps API (version 1) which has been superseded by a more intuitive, powerful, and complete API (version 2). The Maps API version 2 has a simplified interface that can be used without creating or managing map resources. If you are using an AWS SDK or the AWS CLI, note that the Maps API version 2 is found under `geo-maps` or `geo_maps`, not under `location`. Since `Grab` is not yet fully supported in Maps API version 2, we recommend you continue using API version 1 when using `Grab`. Start your version 2 API journey with the [Maps V2 API Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/location/latest/APIReference/API_Operations_Amazon_Location_Service_Maps_V2.html) or the [Developer Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/location/latest/developerguide/maps.html). Creates a map resource in your AWS account, which provides map tiles of different styles sourced from global location data providers. **Note** If your application is tracking or routing assets you use in your business, such as delivery vehicles or employees, you must not use Esri as your geolocation provider. See section 82 of the [AWS service terms](http://aws.amazon.com/service-terms) for more details. ## Request Syntax ``` POST /maps/v0/maps HTTP/1.1 Content-type: application/json { "Configuration": { "CustomLayers": [ "string" ], "PoliticalView": "string", "Style": "string" }, "Description": "string", "MapName": "string", "PricingPlan": "string", "Tags": { "string" : "string" } } ``` ## URI Request Parameters The request does not use any URI parameters. ## Request Body The request accepts the following data in JSON format. ** [Configuration](#API_CreateMap_RequestSyntax) ** Specifies the `MapConfiguration`, including the map style, for the map resource that you create.

A tag is a key-value pair helps manage, identify, search, and filter your resources by labelling them. Format: `"key" : "value"` Restrictions: + Maximum 50 tags per resource + Each resource tag must be unique with a maximum of one value. + Maximum key length: 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8 + Maximum value length: 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8 + Can use alphanumeric characters (A–Z, a–z, 0–9), and the following characters: \$1 - = . \$1 : / @. + Cannot use "aws:" as a prefix for a key. Type: String to string map Map Entries: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 50 items. Key Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Value Pattern: `([\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}_.,:/=+\-@]*)` Required: No ## Response Syntax ``` HTTP/1.1 200 Content-type: application/json { "CreateTime": "string", "MapArn": "string", "MapName": "string" } ``` ## Response Elements If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response. The following data is returned in JSON format by the service. ** [CreateTime](#API_CreateMap_ResponseSyntax) ** The timestamp for when the map resource was created in [ISO 8601](https://www.iso.org/iso-8601-date-and-time-format.html) format: `YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ`. Type: Timestamp ** [MapArn](#API_CreateMap_ResponseSyntax) ** The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the map resource. Used to specify a resource across all AWS. + Format example: `arn:aws:geo:region:account-id:map/ExampleMap` Type: String Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 1600. Pattern: `arn(:[a-z0-9]+([.-][a-z0-9]+)*):geo(:([a-z0-9]+([.-][a-z0-9]+)*))(:[0-9]+):((\*)|([-a-z]+[/][*-._\w]+))` ** [MapName](#API_CreateMap_ResponseSyntax) ** The name of the map resource. Type: String Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 100. Pattern: `[-._\w]+` ## Errors For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see [Common Error Types](CommonErrors.md). ** AccessDeniedException ** The request was denied because of insufficient access or permissions.
