Open Data
Open Data provides global basemaps built from the Daylight map distribution of OpenStreetMap (OSM), Natural
Earth, and other open data sources. The maps provided are designed to support
different applications and use cases, including logistics and delivery, and data
visualization in web and mobile environments. With over a million map makers, the OSM
community updates hundreds of thousands of features per day. Amazon Location Service regularly incorporates
these edits.
For additional capability information, see Open Data on
Amazon Location Service data providers.
