Amazon Location Service now offers request-based pricing for all customer use cases, including those with asset-based applications. For instance, if a developer building a delivery application needs to find the positions (latitude/longitude) associated with delivery addresses, they can pay per address searched. With Amazon Location, there are no upfront fees, no required minimum commitments, and no long-term contracts. Now it’s even easier for developers to add location awareness to their asset-based applications.

Today, Amazon Location Service added matrix routing, making it easier for customers to quickly calculate driving time and driving distance between multiple origins and destinations. With matrix routing, developers can use a single API request to 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 can now use Amazon Location’s matrix routing capabilities to request the driving time and distance for all deliveries for a given period. They can reduce the number of requests and latency by making one request of up to 350 origins by 350 destination to retrieve 122,500 drive times and distances.

More frequent images gives your users a more current view of what is happening in a live stream when they are browsing an app or website that uses thumbnails for preview images.
