AWS Quote:

New APIs for Maps, Places, and Routes
Amazon Location Service has released new APIs for Maps, Places and Routes. These new APIs no longer require account-bound resources and also offer several new capabilities. The enhancements include powerful search functions like Geocode to search addresses, Search Nearby to find local businesses, and Autocomplete to predict typed addresses, as well as richer places details including opening hours and contact information. This release also introduces advanced route planning capabilities such as Toll Cost calculation, Waypoint Optimization for multi-stop delivery, Isoline or serviceable area calculation, and supporting a variety of travel restrictions. For example, a food delivery app can use Search Nearby to find and recommend local restaurants, Optimize Waypoints to plan efficient driver routes for multiple orders, and Snap-to-Road to visualize the driver's traveled path on a map. These enhancements are accompanied by new standalone SDKs, making it easier for developers to start new mapping projects, or migrate their existing workloads to Amazon Location Service to benefit from the cost reduction, privacy protection, and ease of integration with other AWS services.

TLDR/Keychanges:

Are there maybe already plans integrating the new Amazon Location Service API?
