LocationService.Client.create_map(**kwargs)#

Creates a map resource in your Amazon Web Services account, which provides map tiles of different styles sourced from global location data providers.

      Valid Esri map styles:

      • VectorEsriDarkGrayCanvas – The Esri Dark Gray Canvas map style. A vector basemap with a dark gray, neutral background with minimal colors, labels, and features that’s designed to draw attention to your thematic content.

      • RasterEsriImagery – The Esri Imagery map style. A raster basemap that provides one meter or better satellite and aerial imagery in many parts of the world and lower resolution satellite imagery worldwide.

      • VectorEsriLightGrayCanvas – The Esri Light Gray Canvas map style, which provides a detailed vector basemap with a light gray, neutral background style with minimal colors, labels, and features that’s designed to draw attention to your thematic content.

      • VectorEsriTopographic – The Esri Light map style, which provides a detailed vector basemap with a classic Esri map style.

      • VectorEsriStreets – The Esri Street Map style, which provides a detailed vector basemap for the world symbolized with a classic Esri street map style. The vector tile layer is similar in content and style to the World Street Map raster map.

      • VectorEsriNavigation – The Esri Navigation map style, which provides a detailed basemap for the world symbolized with a custom navigation map style that’s designed for use during the day in mobile devices.

      Valid HERE Technologies map styles:

      • VectorHereContrast – The HERE Contrast (Berlin) map style is a high contrast detailed base map of the world that blends 3D and 2D rendering.

      Note

      The VectorHereContrast style has been renamed from VectorHereBerlin. VectorHereBerlin has been deprecated, but will continue to work in applications that use it.

      • VectorHereExplore – A default HERE map style containing a neutral, global map and its features including roads, buildings, landmarks, and water features. It also now includes a fully designed map of Japan.

      • VectorHereExploreTruck – A global map containing truck restrictions and attributes (e.g. width / height / HAZMAT) symbolized with highlighted segments and icons on top of HERE Explore to support use cases within transport and logistics.

      • RasterHereExploreSatellite – A global map containing high resolution satellite imagery.

      • HybridHereExploreSatellite – A global map displaying the road network, street names, and city labels over satellite imagery. This style will automatically retrieve both raster and vector tiles, and your charges will be based on total tiles retrieved.

      Note

      Hybrid styles use both vector and raster tiles when rendering the map that you see. This means that more tiles are retrieved than when using either vector or raster tiles alone. Your charges will include all tiles retrieved.
