Amazon Location Service Gets Smarter POI Filtering

Amazon Location Service now lets you filter Points of Interest by category and density straight from the server side—no more client-side hacks needed. Control which place types show up on your maps (Food & Drink, Transit, Accommodations, etc.) and how densely they appear, with the new poi-categories and poi-density parameters in the GetStyleDescriptor API. Available across 14 AWS regions worldwide.
