Enrich Your Location Data with Azure Maps
Introduction
Location data is a critical part of many applications and services. Whether you are building a logistics application, a mapping application, or a mobile application, location data is the key to unlocking the potential of your application. Azure Maps provides a comprehensive set of services that enable you to easily add location data to your applications.What is Azure Maps?
Azure Maps is a collection of geospatial services that provide developers with the tools they need to build applications with location data. The services include mapping, routing, search, and geocoding. Microsoft’s cloud platform, Azure, provides the infrastructure and platform services that enable Azure Maps to provide these services.Mapping
The mapping service provides a set of APIs that allow developers to create interactive maps. The APIs provide access to a variety of services such as tile layers, vector tile layers, 3D maps, and more. The mapping service also provides access to a variety of data sources such as OpenStreetMap, HERE, USGS, and Bing Maps.Routing
The routing service provides a set of APIs that allow developers to create route plans for a variety of vehicles such as cars, trucks, bicycles, and pedestrians. The APIs provide access to a variety of routing profiles such as truck routing, pedestrian routing, and bike routing. The routing service also provides access to a variety of data sources such as OpenStreetMap, HERE, USGS, and Bing Maps.Search
The search service provides a set of APIs that allow developers to search for locations and places. The APIs provide access to a variety of data sources such as OpenStreetMap, HERE, USGS, and Bing Maps. The search service also provides access to a variety of search types such as geocoding, reverse geocoding, autocomplete, and more.Geocoding
The geocoding service provides a set of APIs that allow developers to convert addresses into coordinates. The APIs provide access to a variety of data sources such as OpenStreetMap, HERE, USGS, and Bing Maps. The geocoding service also provides access to a variety of geocoding types such as address geocoding, reverse geocoding, and more.Benefits of Azure Maps
