Map & Geospatial APIs
Japanese Map & Geospatial APIs include both navigation-oriented services with map display, routing, and facility search, and data-focused platforms offering area polygons, census statistics, and disaster information.
Many providers cover both areas, combining rich geospatial datasets with interactive maps for analysis, planning, and public-facing applications.
