SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of looking up locations, nearby places, routes, and timezone details by turning plain place names or coordinates into actionable map intelligence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Geocoding and Reverse Geocoding: Convert addresses into coordinates and coordinates back into readable addresses.
  • Nearby POI Search: Find restaurants, hospitals, transit stops, shops, and other points of interest around a location or within a bounding box.
  • Routing and Travel Planning: Calculate driving, walking, or cycling distance, duration, and step-by-step directions between two places.
  • Timezone Lookup: Get the local timezone and current time for any coordinate pair.
  • Use Case: A user shares a location pin and asks what is nearby, and this Skill can immediately return the closest relevant places with maps links and distances.

Quick Start

Ask for nearby cafes around a location or provide coordinates and a destination if you want directions or travel time.

Frequently Asked Questions about maps

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find nearby points of interest using coordinates?

Finding nearby points of interest involves querying coordinates within a bounding box to return restaurants, hospitals, transit stops, and shops. This Skill uses Overpass lookups and category validation to extract local POI search results for your location.

Can I calculate driving and walking routes between two addresses?

Yes, you can calculate driving, walking, or cycling routes between two addresses by geocoding them into coordinates first. It uses OSRM lookups to return step-by-step navigation directions, total distance, and estimated travel duration for your routing tasks.

How does reverse geocoding work for location pins?

Reverse geocoding works by taking coordinate pairs, like a shared location pin, and converting them into readable addresses. This Skill uses OpenStreetMap Nominatim lookups to resolve raw coordinates back into actionable map intelligence and physical locations.

What is the best way to get timezone data for a specific location?

The best way to get timezone data for a specific location is to provide its coordinate pair for a direct lookup. This Skill queries TimeAPI.io to return the accurate local timezone and current time for any given coordinates.

Do I need an API key to perform geocoding and routing tasks?

No API key is needed to perform geocoding and routing tasks because this Skill relies on Python stdlib-based HTTP handling. It directly queries open services like OpenStreetMap Nominatim, Overpass, OSRM, and TimeAPI.io without requiring external authentication setup.
