Azure Maps

Discover the location intelligence platform for the enterprise

Watch an overview video featuring Chris Pendleton, Azure Maps PM Lead. Learn who’s using the platform worldwide and how you can start using it today.

Search

Create apps that provide details about a point of interest (POI), including contact information, hours of operation, a location pinpointed on a map, and directions to its address. Search for businesses by name, category, or what’s closest to you.

Traffic

Develop mobility solutions that improve travel time and avoid gridlock. You get multiple alternate routes around traffic jams, insight into the length of the backup and the time it takes to get through it, and faster travel during rush hour.

Maps

Integrate clear, easy-to-read maps into your solutions with the JavaScript Map Control APIs or the Render API. The maps update dynamically—your customers get constantly refreshed information.

Routing

Give your solutions the ability to navigate the shortest or fastest routes available—to multiple destinations at a time—or provide specialized routes and facts for walkers, bicyclists, and commercial vehicles. Utilize sophisticated capabilities such as isochrones, matrix routing and batch routing for optimal route calculations.

Geocoding

Make apps that turn latitude and longitude coordinates into street addresses—and switch street addresses to map coordinates. Use this data to ensure customers, goods, and drivers get to destinations on time.

Time zones

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 Service ^Preview

Look up the country of an IP address. Customize content and services based on user location and gain insight on customer geographic distribution.

Advanced Functionality

Deploy large-scale enterprise solutions and mission-critical applications with batch services and advanced geospatial analytics.

Geofencing ^Preview

Create real-time alerts indicating when mobile assets enter or exit a geographic boundary—useful for delivery notifications, security alerts, and asset tracking.

Azure Active Directory Authentication ^Preview

Secure your solutions and manage user access with Azure Active Directory authentication and identity services.

Spatial operations ^Preview

Enhance your location intelligence with a library of common geospatial mathematical calculations, including closest point, great circle distance, and buffers.

Azure Maps Data Service ^Preview

Store geospatial data for use with Spatial Operations or image composition to reduce latency and increase productivity.
