Can I get turn-by-turn navigation directions between two locations locally?▼

Turn-by-turn navigation directions are generated using the OSRM API. The Skill calculates routes and provides step-by-step instructions between locations without requiring external API keys.

What is the best way to find nearby points of interest based on my current location?▼

Nearby places search discovers points of interest based on your location or category using the Overpass API. You can find nearby restaurants, landmarks, or other POIs without external API keys.

How do I calculate travel distance and time between two geographic coordinates?▼

Distance and time calculations between two locations are performed using OSRM. The Skill computes travel distance and time without requiring external API keys, needing only Python 3.8+.

Can I determine the timezone for a given location using Python?▼

Timezone information for a given location is determined using TimeAPI.io. The Skill provides timezone data for coordinates without requiring external API keys.

Do I need any external API keys to use geocoding and reverse geocoding features?▼

No external API keys are required for geocoding or reverse geocoding. The Skill utilizes OpenStreetMap Nominatim and requires only Python 3.8 or later to convert addresses to coordinates and vice versa.
