“ I have checked the documents of AWS to explore and create of maps and places application using amazon location service. Amazon Location Service makes it easy for users to check the maps, places and much more. In terms of cost, the solution is cheaper and highly available.”
Amazon Location Service is a mapping service that allows you to add geospatial data and location functionality to applications, including dynamic and static maps, places search and geocodes, route planning and device tracking and geofencing capabilities. With Amazon Location Service, you can safeguard customer data, reduce cost and easily integrate with other AWS services.
In this post, you will experience explore and create of maps and places application using amazon location service. Here I have created a api key in location service for authentication purpose. Also I have created a map and place as per application perspective to get the output in the browser via ec2 instance.
Architecture Overview
The architecture diagram shows the overall deployment architecture with data flow, amazon location service, location service map, location service place, ec2 instance and browser.

Pricing
I review the pricing and estimated cost of this example.
Cost of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud = $0.0104 per on demand linux t3.micro instance hour = $0.01
Cost of Amazon Location Service = ($0.0 per thousand autocomplete request x 5 API Request) + ($0.0 per thousand routes calculated x 19 route) + ($0.0 per thousand GetPlace request x 1 address) + ($0.0 per thousand map tile request x 648 map tile) + ($0.0 per thousand search text request x 19 address) + ($0.0 per thousand suggest request x 5 API request) + ($0.0 per API request for resource create read update delete x 1 API request) + ($0.0 per API request for resource list x 22 API request) + ($0.0 per API request for usage resource create read update delete x 18 API request) = $0.00
Total Cost = $0.01
