SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It removes the friction of looking up locations, comparing routes, and converting coordinates into usable travel or place information.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Geocode place names into coordinates and reverse coordinates into readable addresses.
  • Find nearby restaurants, hospitals, transit stops, and other points of interest by category or within a geographic area.
  • Calculate driving, walking, or cycling distance and provide turn-by-turn directions between two locations.
  • Check timezones, boundaries, and area sizes for planning trips, deliveries, and local discovery.
  • Use it when someone shares a location pin, asks for places near a landmark, or needs the best route between two points.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to find nearby cafes around a place name or coordinates and return the top matches with distances and map links.

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 around a specific address or coordinate?

To find nearby points of interest, perform a nearby search by filtering specific categories like restaurants or transit stops around a geocoded address or coordinate set. This returns top matches with distances and map links.

Can I calculate driving and cycling routes with turn-by-turn directions between two locations?

Yes, you can calculate driving, walking, or cycling routes with turn-by-turn directions between two locations. The Skill computes exact distances and provides step-by-step navigation using OSRM routing.

How do I reverse geocode coordinates into a readable address?

Reverse geocoding converts raw latitude and longitude coordinates into a readable address. The Skill validates coordinates and translates them into usable location information for travel or local discovery tasks.

Does this Skill check timezones and area boundaries for trip planning?

Yes, the Skill checks timezones and area boundaries for trip planning, deliveries, and local discovery. It performs timezone lookups alongside geocoding to provide accurate local context for any coordinate.

What is the best way to look up places within a specific geographic area using OpenStreetMap?

The best way to look up places within a geographic area is using OpenStreetMap and Overpass queries. The Skill performs area searches with category filtering and coordinate validation to find specific landmarks.

Why does nearby search sometimes fail to return results for certain points of interest?

Nearby search may fail if Overpass API requests time out or category filters match no local points of interest. The Skill uses retry-based fallback handling to attempt alternative lookups before returning empty results.
