FAQPage Schema
How do I find nearby restaurants and cafés using my current location?

To find nearby restaurants and cafés, this Skill determines your location via an explicitly provided address, a remembered workplace, or IP geolocation fallback, then searches Amap POI to return names, addresses, distances, and ratings.

What location data is needed for a nearby POI search?

A nearby POI search requires an explicit address for geocoding, a recognized workplace location during work hours, or no input at all when falling back to IP-based geolocation to establish your search center point.

Does the nearby search work if I only provide a street address instead of GPS coordinates?

Yes, the nearby search works with a street address by applying address geocoding to convert it into coordinates, which then serve as the center point for the Amap POI search radius.

What details are included in the nearby places search results?

Nearby places search results include place names, addresses, distances, ratings, phone numbers when available, and an Amap visualization link for easy navigation to the identified points of interest.

Can I search for local services like supermarkets near my workplace?

You can search for local services like supermarkets near your workplace, as the Skill uses a remembered workplace location during work hours to perform the Amap POI search and retrieve relevant nearby venues.
