# Location Place Index

Location Place Index in AWS is part of the Amazon Location Service. It provides geocoding and reverse geocoding capabilities, allowing you to convert addresses into geographic coordinates and vice versa. This resource helps applications search for places, validate addresses, and display location-based information on maps.
