SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Location intelligence tasks including geocoding, reverse geocoding, nearby POI search, distance estimation, directions, timezone lookups, and area/bbox calculation using free OpenStreetMap data sources, with no API keys required.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Geocode a place name to coordinates and display name (search)
  • Reverse geocode coordinates to a human-readable address (reverse)
  • Find nearby POIs by category (nearby) and compute distances
  • Get driving/walking/cycling distances and routes (distance, directions)
  • Retrieve timezone information for coordinates (timezone)
  • Compute bounding boxes and areas for named places (area, bbox)

Quick Start

Geocode a place, search for nearby POIs, and compute directions between two locations using OpenStreetMap data.

Frequently Asked Questions about maps

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I geocode an address to coordinates without an API key?▼

Reverse geocode coordinates by sending latitude and longitude to OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service. This translates numeric coordinates into human-readable addresses and standardized JSON outputs for location-based workflows.

What's the best way to find nearby points of interest using OpenStreetMap data?▼

Find nearby points of interest (POIs) by querying Overpass API mirrors with category filters and coordinate inputs. This returns location-based POI search results with distance calculations, using rate-limited HTTP requests and fallback mirrors for reliability.

Can I compute driving, walking, and cycling routes using OSRM?▼

Retrieve timezone information for coordinates by querying OpenStreetMap data sources with latitude and longitude inputs. This returns timezone lookup results as standardized JSON outputs, requiring no API keys for location intelligence workflows.

Do I need API keys to calculate bounding boxes and areas for named places?▼

Handle geocoding rate limits and Overpass API failures through built-in HTTP request rate limiting and Overpass mirror fallback mechanisms. This ensures reliable location data retrieval when primary OpenStreetMap services are unavailable.
