Advanced tools
Geo category for aws-amplify
@aws-amplify/geo is a package that provides geospatial capabilities for web and mobile applications using AWS services. It allows developers to add location-based features such as maps, geocoding, and routing to their applications.
Map Rendering
This feature allows you to render maps in your application. The code sample demonstrates how to retrieve a map by its name using the Geo.getMap method.
import { Geo } from '@aws-amplify/geo';
Geo.getMap('mapName').then(map => {
console.log(map);
});
Geocoding
Geocoding allows you to convert addresses into geographic coordinates. The code sample shows how to search for a location by text and retrieve the corresponding geographic coordinates.
import { Geo } from '@aws-amplify/geo';
Geo.searchByText('Seattle').then(result => {
console.log(result);
});
Reverse Geocoding
Reverse geocoding converts geographic coordinates into human-readable addresses. The code sample demonstrates how to search for an address using latitude and longitude.
import { Geo } from '@aws-amplify/geo';
Geo.searchByCoordinates({ latitude: 47.6062, longitude: -122.3321 }).then(result => {
console.log(result);
});
Routing
Routing provides directions between multiple waypoints. The code sample shows how to get a route between two geographic coordinates.
import { Geo } from '@aws-amplify/geo';
Geo.getRoute({
waypoints: [
{ latitude: 47.6062, longitude: -122.3321 },
{ latitude: 47.6205, longitude: -122.3493 }
]
}).then(route => {
console.log(route);
});
Mapbox GL JS is a JavaScript library that uses WebGL to render interactive maps. It offers similar functionalities such as map rendering, geocoding, and routing. Compared to @aws-amplify/geo, Mapbox GL JS provides more customization options and a wider range of map styles.
Leaflet is an open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps. It is lightweight and easy to use, offering features like map rendering, markers, and layers. While it does not provide built-in geocoding and routing, it can be extended with plugins to achieve similar functionalities as @aws-amplify/geo.
The Google Maps JavaScript API allows you to embed Google Maps into your web applications. It offers comprehensive features including map rendering, geocoding, reverse geocoding, and routing. Compared to @aws-amplify/geo, it provides more detailed map data and a larger set of features, but it may come with higher usage costs.
This package contains the AWS Amplify Geo category. For more information on using Geo in your application please reference the Amplify Dev Center.
