Location services

Putting a place on business data from a location provider: an address turned into coordinates or corrected, a base map to draw on, and a route with its distance and duration between two or more points. Storing geometries in the database and querying them there is graph, spatial and document data.

Overview

SAP SHIPS

Two SAP-official services answer this on BTP: SAP HANA Spatial Services for SAP BTP puts four APIs in front of third-party location data — geocoding, map tiles, routing and matrix routing — and SAP Data Quality Management, microservices for location data cleanses, geocodes and reverse geocodes address data as a cloud service, with a separate type-ahead API for address suggestions, embeddable directly into a business process or application.

Not covered: Differently, by provider: HANA Spatial Services answers all four — geocoding, map tiles, routing and matrix routing — but its one plan is bring-your-own-licence, so the results come from a third party the customer licenses separately. Data Quality Management answers only address cleansing, geocoding, reverse geocoding and type-ahead suggestions: no map tiles and no routing.

core_coverage is the BTP assessment, the capability's first ecosystem; CAP has its own slot below. Both providers on BTP are SAP's, so core-only is a assessment of the corpus rather than a quote from the core.
