💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Geolocate places, find nearby points of interest, and compute routes using freely available OpenStreetMap data, without requiring paid APIs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Geocoding (search and reverse) to convert names or coordinates to human-readable locations.
  • Nearby POI search with category filtering and distance estimates.
  • Distance and route calculations using OSRM with simple, shareable URLs.

Quick Start

Find nearby cafes around Times Square and display their names, coordinates, and maps links.

FAQPage Schema
How do I geocode places and find nearby POIs without paid APIs?▼

Geocode places and find nearby POIs without paid APIs by using OpenStreetMap data through Nominatim and Overpass queries. It requires no API keys, handling location searches and distance calculations freely within your workflows.

Can I calculate routes and turn-by-turn directions using OpenStreetMap data?▼

Calculate routes and turn-by-turn directions using OSRM routing with OpenStreetMap data. This Skill computes distance estimates and generates simple, shareable URLs for navigation within chat workflows or automation pipelines.

Do I need API keys to use OpenStreetMap routing and geocoding in Python?▼

No API keys are required to use OpenStreetMap routing and geocoding. The Skill uses standard Python libraries for data handling and public APIs for geocoding, Overpass queries, and OSRM routing with built-in fallbacks and rate limiting.

What's the best way to search for points of interest around a specific location?▼

Search for points of interest around a location using Overpass queries with category filtering. This Skill geolocates your target coordinates and finds nearby POIs, providing distance estimates based on OpenStreetMap data.

Are there rate limits when using free geocoding and OSRM routing services?▼

Free geocoding and OSRM routing services have usage limits. This Skill implements rate limiting and fallback mechanisms when querying public OpenStreetMap APIs to ensure reliable POI search and route calculations.
