google-maps
Google Maps equips AI agents with geospatial reasoning—geocoding, nearby discovery, routing, and elevation queries. Chain multiple tools to answer complex location questions: find what's nearby, compare distances across points, optimize multi-stop itineraries, and surface travel times and directions. Works across Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, and other supported agents.
Google Maps gives your AI agent the ability to find directions, calculate distances, and plan routes between locations with real-time travel information.

Frequently asked questions
AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
How do I get from point A to point B using google-maps?
Google Maps finds directions and routes between locations with travel time and distance calculations. You can request standard routes or specify preferences like avoiding tolls and highways. The skill returns turn-by-turn guidance, estimated travel duration, and distance for route planning.
What's the address at these coordinates with google-maps?
Google Maps converts between addresses and geographic coordinates through reverse geocoding. Provide latitude and longitude values, and the skill returns the corresponding street address. You can also geocode multiple addresses at once to convert place names into coordinate pairs for spatial queries.
How can google-maps help find coffee shops near me?
Google Maps discovers nearby places and local businesses by category and location. Search for specific business types like coffee shops, restaurants, or hotels within a radius of your current position or any address. Results include names, distances, and location details for comparison.
Can google-maps optimize a route visiting multiple stops?
Google Maps plans multi-stop itineraries and optimizes visit order for efficiency. Provide a list of destinations, and the skill calculates the best sequence to minimize travel time. This enables complex trip planning like comparing hotel distances to an airport or finding places along your route.
What environmental data does google-maps provide?
Google Maps accesses environmental and temporal data including elevation, weather forecasts, timezone information, and air quality indices. Query elevation for hiking trails, check weather for travel destinations, determine current time in different cities, or assess air quality for outdoor activities.
Which platforms support google-maps for AI agents?
Google Maps works across Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, and other supported agents. The skill equips AI agents with geospatial reasoning to chain multiple tools for answering complex location questions, from nearby discovery to multi-stop optimization and environmental queries.

Google Maps - Geospatial Query Capabilities
Overview
Gives an AI Agent the ability to reason about physical space — understand locations, distances, routes, and elevation, and naturally weave that information into conversation.
Without this Skill, the agent can only guess or refuse when asked "how do I get from Taipei 101 to the National Palace Museum?". With it, the agent returns exact coordinates, step-by-step routes, and travel times.
Core Principles
| Principle | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Chain over single-shot | Most geo questions require 2-5 tool calls chained together. See Scenario Recipes in |

Local Search queries Google Maps to find businesses, restaurants, and services by name or location. Use text search for keyword-based discovery, nearby search to find places within a radius, or place details to get comprehensive information including hours, ratings, reviews, and amenities. Choose between partial ($0.02) and full ($0.05–$0.08) data tiers based on your needs.
Spatial handles geographic questions by combining DuckDB's spatial functions with Overture Maps, a free global dataset accessible via S3. Ask about nearby places, distances between points, or analyze your own GeoJSON, Shapefile, or GPX files—the skill manages spatial joins, containment checks, and format conversions.
Firecrawl Map discovers and lists all URLs on a website, helping you navigate large sites and locate specific pages. Use the search filter to find pages matching keywords, or retrieve a complete URL inventory before scraping or crawling.
Wiki Query searches your knowledge base to answer questions, combining information across multiple pages with proper source attribution. It distinguishes confident claims from inferences and flags knowledge gaps. When an answer represents useful synthesis not yet captured in the wiki, it can file that back as a new page to compound your knowledge over time.
Wiki Query answers questions grounded in your wiki's actual content, citing pages and raw sources as it goes. It reads your wiki's index and candidate pages, verifies claims against raw sources when needed, and structures answers with inline citations. When synthesis is required, it offers to file the work durably so knowledge compounds instead of disappearing into chat.
