Release Notes (v2.5)
Warning: Maps API will be deprecated starting September 19, 2024. For your native maps app to work on Fire tablets, you must use an alternate maps SDK and resubmit the app before September 19, 2024. For more information, see the
Amazon Maps API deprecation knowledge base article.
Release notes for the Amazon Maps SDK are provided here.
July 28, 2020 (doc updates only)
The initial plans to release the maps service to Fire OS 7 tablets on July 28 was pushed out to August 30. The plan to uplevel Fire OS 6 tablets to Fire OS 7 has also been pushed out to a later date. (The uplevel date is still TBD and is dependent on the success of the maps service rollout to existing Fire OS 7 tablets on August 30.)

See Deprecation Notice for Amazon Maps v1.0 and v2.0 for full details about the deprecation and timelines for transitioning to v2.5.
Features No Longer Supported
SDK v2.5 will no longer support the features listed in the following tables.
Important: Amazon Maps SDK v2.5 retains a no-op implementation so that existing developers will not face compilation issues. No-op means the deprecated methods exist (so your app will compile) but they do nothing.
