Summary: Amazon Location Service adds asset tracking and geofencing

Why It Matters: The product is moving beyond simple maps to focus on real-time business operations. This makes it a direct competitor for logistics and supply chain software.

What Changed:

• Added real-time asset tracking to monitor business resources.
• Added geofencing to trigger alerts when vehicles or people enter or leave specific areas.
• Added route optimization that includes vehicle-specific restrictions like truck height or weight.
• Added "places search" with autocomplete to help users find businesses and points of interest.
• Updated the page to focus on "Front-End Web and Mobile" developers.
