Amazon Location Service offers competitive pricing for its Maps API based on the type of map request and the number of API calls made. This section provides an overview of the pricing structure for dynamic and static maps. 

For detailed pricing information, see [Amazon Location Service pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/location/pricing/).

## Dynamic maps

Pricing for the Maps API is based on the number of tiles retrieved by the `GetTiles` API

Other map-related APIs, such as `GetGlyphs`, `GetStyleDescriptor`, and `GetSprites` are free of charge.

## Static map images

Pricing for static map images is based on the number of requests made to the `GetStaticMap` API. Each request for a static map image is counted towards the pricing calculation.
