Amazon Location Service

In one line

Per thousand requests across maps, places and routes, with stored geofences ticking monthly.

What gets missed

A route matrix bills origins multiplied by destinations, so one call with 10 origins and 10 destinations is 100 routes. Asking for results you may store moves you onto a separate usage type costing several times more.

Find it on your bill

Filter Cost Explorer or your Cost and Usage Report by these usage types. A usage type with no region prefix means us-east-1.

Bills the same way

These services turn exactly the same meters, so what you learn here transfers.
