Get Map Glyphs

locationservice_get_map_glyphs R Documentation

This operation is no longer current and may be deprecated in the future

Description

This operation is no longer current and may be deprecated in the future. We recommend upgrading to GetGlyphs unless you require Grab data.

  • get_map_glyphs is part of a previous Amazon Location Service Maps API (version 1) which has been superseded by a more intuitive, powerful, and complete API (version 2).

  • The version 2 GetGlyphs operation gives a better user experience and is compatible with the remainder of the V2 Maps API.

  • If you are using an AWS SDK or the AWS CLI, note that the Maps API version 2 is found under geo-maps or geo_maps, not under location.

  • Since Grab is not yet fully supported in Maps API version 2, we recommend you continue using API version 1 when using Grab.

  • Start your version 2 API journey with the Maps V2 API Reference or the Developer Guide.

Retrieves glyphs used to display labels on a map.
