SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The Maps Skill turns place names and latitude/longitude into usable location intelligence—addresses, nearby points of interest, travel distance/time, directions, and timezone—without requiring any API keys.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Geocoding & reverse geocoding: Convert a place name to coordinates, or coordinates to a human-readable address.
  • POI discovery: Find nearby restaurants, hospitals, pharmacies, hotels, and many other categories using OpenStreetMap data.
  • Routing & timezone lookup: Compute driving/walking/cycling distance and duration, generate turn-by-turn directions, and retrieve timezone + current local time for coordinates.
  • Bounding-area search: Use an approximate area bounding box and then search within a geographic rectangle.

Quick Start

Ask: find nearby restaurants near Times Square, New York with a radius of 500 meters.

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?▼

You can geocode addresses without an API key by using OpenStreetMap Nominatim to convert place names into latitude and longitude coordinates. The process relies on a Python stdlib-only client to return validated location data as structured JSON.

Can I find nearby points of interest like restaurants using OpenStreetMap data?▼

Yes, you can find nearby points of interest like restaurants, hospitals, and pharmacies using OpenStreetMap Overpass API data. The tool searches for specified categories within a defined radius or bounding box around your target coordinates.

What's the best way to calculate driving distance and turn-by-turn directions?▼

Calculating driving distance and turn-by-turn directions is best handled by OSRM (Open Source Routing Machine). It computes travel distance, duration, and generates step-by-step routing instructions for driving, walking, or cycling between coordinates.

Do I need any external dependencies to retrieve timezone information for coordinates?▼

No external dependencies are required to retrieve timezone information for coordinates. The system uses TimeAPI.io accessed via a Python stdlib-only client to fetch timezone data and current local time from latitude and longitude inputs.

How does reverse geocoding convert latitude and longitude to a human-readable address?▼

Reverse geocoding converts latitude and longitude to a human-readable address by querying the Nominatim API with your coordinates. It processes OpenStreetMap data to return a validated street address as structured JSON output.
