I built a map application using Amazon Location Service, Leaflet, AWS Amplify, and Vue.js 🎉
Amazon Location Service is a service for building location-based applications within AWS. At present, five types of functions are available: map display function, address search function, route search function, geofence function, and tracking function. This time, I used the map display function to build a map application!
Advance Preparation
- Setting up AWS Amplify and Vue.js to the login feature
Configure Amazon Location Maps
First, we will configure Amazon Location Maps in the AWS console.
Click on "Maps".
Click on "Create map".
Enter a map name and select a map. This time, select "sample."
Click on the map that has been created.
Copy the "Name" and "ARN" shown here to use them in future settings.
This will complete the setup of Amazon Location Maps đź‘Ť
Frontend
Next, let's build the actual map application.
Once Amplify and Vue.js are configured, it's just a matter of adding a new "MapPane.vue" and changing some of the code.
execution environment
- node v16.3.0
- npm v7.15.1
Install the Leaflet package in advance. Also, install the Mapbox GL Leaflet package and the OSS version of the Mapbox GL JS package to display the vector tiles.
npm install leaflet
npm install mapbox-gl-leaflet
npm install mapbox-gl@1.13.0

Configure the settings to load Amazon Location Maps.
transformRequest: function (url, resourceType) {
if (resourceType === 'Style' && !url.includes('://')) {
url = `https://maps.geo.${awsconfig.aws_project_region}.amazonaws.com/maps/v0/maps/${url}/style-descriptor`
}
if (url.includes('amazonaws.com')) {
return {
url: Signer.signUrl(url, {
access_key: this.credentials.accessKeyId,
secret_key: this.credentials.secretAccessKey,
session_token: this.credentials.sessionToken,
}),
}
}
return { url }
},
Configure Amplify Roles
The last step is to add the Amazon Location Maps policy to the Amplify role.
Search for the role that is used for the login function. Select "amplify-xxxxx-authRole".
Click "Add Inline Policy".
Select "JSON" to set the policy. Set the "ARN" of the created map to "Resource."
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "MapsReadOnly",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"geo:GetMapStyleDescriptor",
"geo:GetMapGlyphs",
"geo:GetMapSprites",
"geo:GetMapTile"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:geo:us-west-2:xxxxx:map/sample"
}
]
}
Set the name as needed. This time, set it as "amazon-location-maps."
Make sure that the policy has been created.
This completes the role configuration for Amplify đź‘Ť
Let's check with a simple local server.
npm run serve
Startup a local server and try logging in. You are now able to see Amazon Location Maps đź’ˇ
I was able to build a map application using a combination of Amazon Location Service, Leaflet, AWS Amplify, and Vue.js đź‘Ť
When I installed Amplify in advance, I was able to build Amazon Location Service quickly. However, some areas can still be improved, such as the need for separate role settings and the limited styles that can be selected. I'll continue to explore other features as well đź‘Ť
