search-driving-distance

To estimate driving distance offline, the Skill parses a bundled local distance matrix CSV to return distance and duration metrics for origin-destination city pairs without requiring an internet connection.

Yes, you can calculate taxi cost estimates for a road trip itinerary because the Skill applies a simple cost model to distance matrix lookups, supporting both driving and taxi modes for itinerary leg validation.

The driving distance lookup works without an API key by relying on the bundled CSV distance matrix for offline travel planning, but can fall back to an online API lookup if a key is optionally provided.

The best way to compare ground transport options is using a distance matrix to estimate driving distance, duration, and rough cost, which produces a human-readable summary for quick travel planning and option comparison.

To parse distance strings from a CSV matrix for itinerary planning, the Skill uses built-in parsing logic to extract values and applies a simple cost model to generate human-readable travel estimates.
