If yes how it can be done as I couldn't find instructions for this

Hi Pawel,

Maps component displays online maps such as Azure Maps, OpenStreetMap and Mapbox maps using their tile server URL. The tile server URL must be in the below format to render in the Maps component.

Sample Template: https://< domain_name >/maps/basic/{z}/{x}/{y}.png

• ”${z}” - It represents zoom factor (level).
• ”${x}” - It indicates tile image x-position (tileX).
• ”${y}” - It indicates tile image y-position (tileY).

Please refer the below documentation link for further references about online map providers in Syncfusion Maps.

When we analyzed the Amazon location service for their tile service URL, we found the below documentation link. But the information in that link is related to the API support provided by the Amazon location service, which is not supported in the Maps component.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/location/latest/APIReference/API_GetMapTile.html

However, we need additional time to check the tile server URL of the Amazon location service. We will check and update you with further details on January 16, 2024.

Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Hi Pawel,

When we checked the AWS documentation for the tile server URL of the Amazon Location Service, we were unable to find the tile server URL. We suspect that the Amazon location service does not support tile server URLs and provides map rendering through their APIs. But the Syncfusion Maps component is supported to render online maps through the tile images from the tile server URL from online map providers such as Azure Maps, OpenStreetMaps, and others. Please find the below documentation to learn more about the online maps in the Syncfusion Maps.

You can find the Amazon Location Service documentation link below.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/location/latest/developerguide/map-concepts.html

If you find the tile server URL for the Amazon Location Service with the x, y, and z format as explained in the above documentation link, you can set it in the “UrlTemplate” property of the Maps component. If not, like mentioned above, it is not supported in our Maps component.

Please let us know if you need any further queries.
