πŸ“– About This Skill


name: maps description: Distance, routing, and geocoding using free APIs (OSRM + Nominatim/OSM). Use when the user asks about distance between places, travel time, directions, how far something is, or needs to convert a place name to coordinates. No API key required. Requires python3 (3.6+). metadata: openclaw: requires: bins: [python3]

Maps

Free distance/routing (OSRM) and geocoding (Nominatim/OSM). No API keys needed.

Geocoding (place name β†’ coordinates)

bash scripts/geocode.sh "Times Square, New York"

Returns lat,lon and display name. Use this first when you have place names instead of coordinates.

Distance & Route

bash scripts/distance.sh , , [mode]

Modes: driving (default), foot, bicycle

Examples:

# Manhattan to JFK Airport
bash scripts/distance.sh 40.7580,-73.9855 40.6413,-73.7781 driving

Golden Gate Park to Fisherman's Wharf (walking)

bash scripts/distance.sh 37.7694,-122.4862 37.8080,-122.4177 foot

Workflow

1. If user gives place names β†’ geocode both with geocode.sh 2. Use returned lat,lon pairs with distance.sh 3. Report distance in km and duration in minutes

Limits

  • OSRM: free public demo server, no hard rate limit but be reasonable
  • Nominatim: max 1 request/second (OSM policy), include User-Agent
  • No live traffic data β€” durations are estimates based on road type/speed
  • Routing is road-network only (no public transit)
