SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of looking up locations, nearby places, routes, and travel details by turning natural language requests into reliable map intelligence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Place Search and Reverse Lookup: Convert a place name into coordinates or turn coordinates into a readable address.
  • Nearby Discovery and Area Search: Find restaurants, hospitals, hotels, transit stops, and dozens of other POI categories around a point or within a bounding box.
  • Routing and Travel Planning: Calculate driving, walking, or cycling distance and time, then generate step-by-step directions between two locations.
  • Extra Location Utilities: Look up timezone data and estimate a named place's bounding box and area for downstream planning or analysis.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to find nearby cafes around Times Square and return the results 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 convert place names to coordinates and find nearby points of interest?▼

Geocoding and reverse geocoding convert place names to coordinates and back, while nearby discovery searches for points of interest like restaurants or transit stops around a specific location using OpenStreetMap data.

Can I calculate driving distance and get turn-by-turn directions between two locations?▼

Routing and travel planning calculate driving, walking, or cycling distance and time, then generate step-by-step turn-by-turn directions between two locations using OSRM routing engine data.

How do I look up timezone data for a specific set of coordinates?▼

Timezone lookup resolves coordinate inputs into accurate timezone data using TimeAPI.io, providing local time information for travel planning and logistics coordination across different regions.

What is the best way to estimate a named place's bounding box and area for analysis?▼

Bounding box estimation calculates the geographic boundaries and area of a named place, providing downstream planning data for logistics and local discovery tasks using OpenStreetMap Nominatim.

Does this routing and geocoding approach work without external API keys?▼

Location intelligence operations use OpenStreetMap Nominatim, Overpass, OSRM, and TimeAPI.io with Python stdlib network calls, validation, retries, and mirror fallback support requiring no external dependencies.

Why does reverse geocoding sometimes fail to return a readable address for remote coordinates?▼

Reverse geocoding relies on OpenStreetMap Nominatim data coverage, so remote coordinates lacking mapped features may fail, though built-in retries and mirror fallback support mitigate transient errors.
