Autocomplete completes potential places and addresses as the user types, based on the partial input. The API enhances the efficiency and accuracy of address by completing query based on a few entered keystrokes. It helps you by completing partial queries with valid address completion. Also, the API supports the filtering of results based on geographic location, country, or specific place types, and can be tailored using optional parameters like language and political views. Not supported in ap-southeast-1 and ap-southeast-5 regions for GrabMaps customers.

For more information, see Autocomplete in the Amazon Location Service Developer Guide.
