# Maps Skill

Location intelligence using free, open data sources. 8 commands, 44 POI
categories, zero dependencies (Python stdlib only), no API key required.

Data sources: OpenStreetMap/Nominatim, Overpass API, OSRM, TimeAPI.io.

This skill supersedes the old `find-nearby` skill — all of find-nearby's
functionality is covered by the `nearby` command below, with the same
`--near "<place>"` shortcut and multi-category support.

## When to Use

- User sends a Telegram location pin (latitude/longitude in the message) → `nearby`
- User wants coordinates for a place name → `search`
- User has coordinates and wants the address → `reverse`
- User asks for nearby restaurants, hospitals, pharmacies, hotels, etc. → `nearby`
- User wants driving/walking/cycling distance or travel time → `distance`
- User wants turn-by-turn directions between two places → `directions`
- User wants timezone information for a location → `timezone`
- User wants to search for POIs within a geographic area → `area` + `bbox`

## Prerequisites

Python 3.8+ (stdlib only — no pip installs needed).

Script path: `~/.hermes/skills/maps/scripts/maps_client.py`

## Commands

```bash
MAPS=~/.hermes/skills/maps/scripts/maps_client.py
```

### search — Geocode a place name

```bash
python3 $MAPS search "Eiffel Tower"
python3 $MAPS search "1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC"
```

Returns: lat, lon, display name, type, b
