Amazon Location Service - Esri Imagery - How to add streets

Question

I'm attempting to evaluate Amazon Location Service as a replacement for MapBox.

The available map styles are here: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/forum.jspa?forumID=394&start=0

This page mentions "Esri map styles that are not listed in this section are currently not supported."

**Is there a way to overlay streets on the "Esri Imagery" (aka Satellite Imagery) map?**

**Notes:**

*  I've been using this maplibre-gl-js-react AWS sample as a guide: https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-location-samples/tree/main/maplibre-gl-js-react 
* Instructions for creating custom styles are here: https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-location-samples/tree/main/create-custom-map-style 
* Unfortunately I'm not able to get that code to work and I seem to be at a dead end there.
* However, it is not clear to me whether I would be able to pull a streets layer onto the "Esri Imagery"

Answer

Hello, thank you for the question!

Yes, it is possible to overlay streets on Esri Imagery. The recommended way would be to use a layer that is tailor made to be overlayed over raster basemap for roads, streets, and such.

However, with custom map styles, you can add a vector tile layer over satellite imagery and only overlay the streets.

An example blog is here: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mobile/create-a-custom-map-style-with-amazon-location-service/
