Geospatial data management, simplified
Azure Maps makes it easy to use and integrate accurate geospatial data into your applications to unlock new insights.
Timezone API
The timezone API allows developers to query the timezone for any latitude/longitude. The timezone service can return past, current, and future timezones, localized time zones in UTC, or daylight savings in various formats.
Traffic Data
The traffic service provides data on traffic flow and incidents for a given area or route and presents this information as a map overlay using the Traffic REST API. This GIS data management feature provides insights and critical awareness of flow and incidents along a route that could affect routes, distance, and travel time between locations.
Weather Data
Our weather service provides daily, historical, normal, and actuals for any latitude/longitude while also providing temperature, air quality, and storm information using the Weather API. This REST API provides valuable data to inform prediction and modeling based on current and forecasted data, helping developers create weather-informed applications.
