Azure Maps features
Search
Create apps that provide details about nearby points of interest (POI), render locations on a map and geocode an address to get coordinates or reverse geocode to get an address from coordinates.
Traffic
Develop mobility solutions that improve travel time, offer multiple alternative routes around traffic jams, insight into the length of the backup and the time it takes to get through it, and a faster travel experience during rush hour.
Maps
Integrate clear, easy-to-read maps into your cross platform solutions by leveraging the Web Map SDK or Render API. Azure Maps content updates dynamically, so your customers get constantly refreshed information. Build web and mobile apps with web and Android SDKs.
Routing
Present the shortest or fastest routes available, to multiple destinations at a time, or provide specialist routes and facts for walkers and commercial vehicles. Optimise route calculations with isochrones, matrix routing and batch routing.
Data Registry Service
Create, manage and store data assets within an organisation in an Azure Storage Account with your Azure maps account. Ensure data accuracy and reliability to streamline processes and enable better insights.
Weather Service
Powered by Accuweather, obtain current weather conditions, weather forecast and weather along a route to enable weather-based decisions within your applications.
Time Zones
Make it easy for users to see what time it is anywhere in the world. Select a location to find the time zone, its offset to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and daylight saving time updates.
Geolocation
Look up the country of an IP address. Customise content and services based on user location and gain insight on customer geographic distribution.
