GrabMaps, a subsidiary of Grab Inc., is built on the principles of community-based mapping that leverages Grab’s consumers, merchants, and fleets of driver and delivery partners. GrabMaps extracts data on a daily basis from millions of orders and rides, with real-time feedback from partners on road closures, business address changes and more. Driver and delivery-partners also have the opportunity to earn additional income by collecting mapping information such as points of interest (POIs), street imagery, street names, and traffic signs. This allows GrabMaps to remain highly cost-effective while offering the best quality regional mapping data in accuracy, coverage, and freshness.

GrabMaps powers Amazon Location Service maps, places (search, geocoding, and reverse geocoding) and routes (including traffic and motorcycle mode in both point-to-point and matrix routing options) in eight Southeast Asian countries. GrabMaps’ highly scalable infrastructure offers access to hyper local conditions and attributes unique to Southeast Asia, such as routing that considers small alleyways and subdivisions or hard to find places.

Developers and teams using Amazon Location Service can enhance or build their own location-enabled applications leveraging GrabMaps. Developers can display their desired data on local maps that are up-to-date, use search boxes that accurately locate end-user addresses and points of interest, as well as calculate routes that use real-time traffic conditions to provide accurate estimated arrival times (ETAs).
