Amazon Location Service adds support for long distance matrix routing

Today, Amazon Location Service added support for long distance matrix routing, making it easier for customers to quickly calculate driving time and driving distance between multiple origins and destinations, no matter how far apart they are. Developers can now make a single API request to calculate up to 122,500 routes (350 origins and 350 destinations) within a 180 km region or up to 100 routes without any distance limitation.

With Amazon Location’s matrix routing, developers can reduce the latency associated with multiple routing calculations, allowing them to simplify their code and improve the experience of their customers. For example, an application that plans delivery routes from warehouses to retail locations can now use Amazon Location’s matrix routing to request the driving time and distance between locations hundreds of kilometers apart, by making one request for up to 100 route calculations.

Amazon Location Service is a fully managed service that helps developers easily and securely add maps, points of interest, geocoding, routing, tracking, and geofencing to their applications without compromising on data quality, user privacy, or cost. With Amazon Location Service, you retain control of your location data, protecting your privacy and reducing enterprise security risks.

Amazon Location Service is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Stockholm), and South America (São Paulo).
