Amap Launches Low-Altitude Navigation with 3D Digital Mapping in Shenzhen
On July 30, Alibaba’s Amap (Gaode) and Shenzhen’s Longgang District officially unveiled the “Air Amap” temporal-spatial base, representing a significant advancement in low-altitude economy infrastructure. This new platform integrates real-time 3D low-altitude data with traditional ground-level mapping, utilizing advanced AI-driven deep learning and 3D spatial modeling to provide automated daily updates. The solution is designed to support the entire flight lifecycle for various aerial vehicles, offering critical services such as navigation, collision warnings, and air route planning. It combines airspace management with safety and service modules to cater to public, corporate, and government users. Currently, more than ten ecosystem partners are collaborating in Longgang to refine the technology and adapt it for specific applications, including low-altitude logistics, emergency response, and aerial inspections. The integrated platform aims to enable high-density, coordinated aerial activity within urban airspace, marking a major leap forward in managing the complexities of the emerging low-altitude economy. This initiative highlights the growing integration of digital mapping technologies with urban air mobility solutions.
