SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Location intelligence using free, open data sources. 8 commands, 46 POI categories, zero dependencies (Python stdlib only), no API key required.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Geocode a place name to coordinates
  • Reverse geocode coordinates to an address
  • Find nearby POIs across 46 categories
  • Compute driving/walking/cycling distance and travel time
  • Get turn-by-turn directions
  • Timezone lookup for coordinates
  • Bounding box and area calculations for named places
  • Search POIs within a rectangle (area/bbox)

Quick Start

Geocode "Times Square" and list nearby restaurants within 1 km.

Can I calculate driving distance and turn-by-turn directions using OSRM?▼

Find nearby points of interest using Overpass API queries across 46 distinct categories, including restaurants, amenities, and landmarks. You specify a center point and radius to retrieve matching POIs from free OpenStreetMap data.

Calculate driving, walking, and cycling distances with travel times and turn-by-turn directions using the OSRM routing engine. The HTTP requests include retry-safe handling to manage OpenStreetMap API rate limits reliably.

Reverse geocoding translates geographic coordinates back into human-readable addresses and location context. By querying Nominatim with latitude and longitude, you retrieve the nearest address, city, and regional information.▼

No dependencies are required to perform timezone lookups for coordinates. The location intelligence tools operate using zero external packages, running entirely on Python standard library modules for HTTP requests and data processing.▼
