find-nearby and the (new) maps optional skill both used OpenStreetMap's Overpass + Nominatim to answer the same question — 'what's near this location?' — so shipping both would be duplicate code for overlapping capability. Consolidate into one active-by-default skill at skills/productivity/maps/ that is a strict superset of find-nearby. Moves + deletions: - optional-skills/productivity/maps/ → skills/productivity/maps/ (active, no install step needed) - skills/leisure/find-nearby/ → DELETED (fully superseded) Upgrades to maps_client.py so it covers everything find-nearby did: - Overpass server failover — tries overpass-api.de then overpass.kumi.systems so a single-mirror outage doesn't break the skill (new overpass_query helper, used by both nearby and bbox) - nearby now accepts --near "<address>" as a shortcut that auto-geocodes, so one command replaces the old 'search → copy coords → nearby' chain - nearby now accepts --category (repeatable) for multi-type queries in one call (e.g. --category restaurant --category bar), results merged and deduped by (osm_type, osm_id), sorted by distance, capped at --limit - Each nearby result now includes maps_url (clickable Google Maps search link) and directions_url (Google Maps directions from the search point — only when a ref point is known) - Promoted commonly-useful OSM tags to top-level fields on each result: cuisine, hours (opening_hours), phone, website — instead of forcing callers to dig into the raw tags dict SKILL.md: - Version bumped 1.1.0 → 1.2.0, description rewritten to lead with capability surface - New 'Working With Telegram Location Pins' section replacing find-nearby's equivalent workflow - metadata.hermes.supersedes: [find-nearby] so tooling can flag any lingering references to the old skill External references updated: - optional-skills/productivity/telephony/SKILL.md — related_skills find-nearby → maps - website/docs/reference/skills-catalog.md — removed the (now-empty) 'leisure' section, added 'maps' row under productivity - website/docs/user-guide/features/cron.md — find-nearby example usages swapped to maps - tests/tools/test_cronjob_tools.py, tests/hermes_cli/test_cron.py, tests/cron/test_scheduler.py — fixture string values swapped - cli.py:5290 — /cron help-hint example swapped Not touched: - RELEASE_v0.2.0.md — historical record, left intact E2E-verified live (Nominatim + Overpass, one query each): - nearby --near "Times Square" --category restaurant --category bar → 3 results, sorted by distance, all with maps_url, directions_url, cuisine, phone, website where OSM had the tags All 111 targeted tests pass across tests/cron/, tests/tools/, tests/hermes_cli/.

# 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, bounding box, importance score.
|
|
|
|
### reverse — Coordinates to address
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 $MAPS reverse 48.8584 2.2945
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Returns: full address breakdown (street, city, state, country, postcode).
|
|
|
|
### nearby — Find places by category
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# By coordinates (from a Telegram location pin, for example)
|
|
python3 $MAPS nearby 48.8584 2.2945 restaurant --limit 10
|
|
python3 $MAPS nearby 40.7128 -74.0060 hospital --radius 2000
|
|
|
|
# By address / city / zip / landmark — --near auto-geocodes
|
|
python3 $MAPS nearby --near "Times Square, New York" --category cafe
|
|
python3 $MAPS nearby --near "90210" --category pharmacy
|
|
|
|
# Multiple categories merged into one query
|
|
python3 $MAPS nearby --near "downtown austin" --category restaurant --category bar --limit 10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
44 categories: restaurant, cafe, bar, hospital, pharmacy, hotel, supermarket,
|
|
atm, gas_station, parking, museum, park, school, university, bank, police,
|
|
fire_station, library, airport, train_station, bus_stop, church, mosque,
|
|
synagogue, dentist, doctor, cinema, theatre, gym, swimming_pool, post_office,
|
|
convenience_store, bakery, bookshop, laundry, car_wash, car_rental,
|
|
bicycle_rental, taxi, veterinary, zoo, playground, stadium, nightclub.
|
|
|
|
Each result includes: `name`, `address`, `lat`/`lon`, `distance_m`,
|
|
`maps_url` (clickable Google Maps link), `directions_url` (Google Maps
|
|
directions from the search point), and promoted tags when available —
|
|
`cuisine`, `hours` (opening_hours), `phone`, `website`.
|
|
|
|
### distance — Travel distance and time
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 $MAPS distance "Paris" --to "Lyon"
|
|
python3 $MAPS distance "New York" --to "Boston" --mode driving
|
|
python3 $MAPS distance "Big Ben" --to "Tower Bridge" --mode walking
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Modes: driving (default), walking, cycling. Returns road distance, duration,
|
|
and straight-line distance for comparison.
|
|
|
|
### directions — Turn-by-turn navigation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 $MAPS directions "Eiffel Tower" --to "Louvre Museum" --mode walking
|
|
python3 $MAPS directions "JFK Airport" --to "Times Square" --mode driving
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Returns numbered steps with instruction, distance, duration, road name, and
|
|
maneuver type (turn, depart, arrive, etc.).
|
|
|
|
### timezone — Timezone for coordinates
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 $MAPS timezone 48.8584 2.2945
|
|
python3 $MAPS timezone 35.6762 139.6503
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Returns timezone name, UTC offset, and current local time.
|
|
|
|
### area — Bounding box and area for a place
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 $MAPS area "Manhattan, New York"
|
|
python3 $MAPS area "London"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Returns bounding box coordinates, width/height in km, and approximate area.
|
|
Useful as input for the bbox command.
|
|
|
|
### bbox — Search within a bounding box
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 $MAPS bbox 40.75 -74.00 40.77 -73.98 restaurant --limit 20
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Finds POIs within a geographic rectangle. Use `area` first to get the
|
|
bounding box coordinates for a named place.
|
|
|
|
## Working With Telegram Location Pins
|
|
|
|
When a user sends a location pin, the message contains `latitude:` and
|
|
`longitude:` fields. Extract those and pass them straight to `nearby`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# User sent a pin at 36.17, -115.14 and asked "find cafes nearby"
|
|
python3 $MAPS nearby 36.17 -115.14 cafe --radius 1500
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Present results as a numbered list with names, distances, and the
|
|
`maps_url` field so the user gets a tap-to-open link in chat. For "open
|
|
now?" questions, check the `hours` field; if missing or unclear, verify
|
|
with `web_search` since OSM hours are community-maintained and not always
|
|
current.
|
|
|
|
## Workflow Examples
|
|
|
|
**"Find Italian restaurants near the Colosseum":**
|
|
1. `nearby --near "Colosseum Rome" --category restaurant --radius 500`
|
|
— one command, auto-geocoded
|
|
|
|
**"What's near this location pin they sent?":**
|
|
1. Extract lat/lon from the Telegram message
|
|
2. `nearby LAT LON cafe --radius 1500`
|
|
|
|
**"How do I walk from hotel to conference center?":**
|
|
1. `directions "Hotel Name" --to "Conference Center" --mode walking`
|
|
|
|
**"What restaurants are in downtown Seattle?":**
|
|
1. `area "Downtown Seattle"` → get bounding box
|
|
2. `bbox S W N E restaurant --limit 30`
|
|
|
|
## Pitfalls
|
|
|
|
- Nominatim ToS: max 1 req/s (handled automatically by the script)
|
|
- `nearby` requires lat/lon OR `--near "<address>"` — one of the two is needed
|
|
- OSRM routing coverage is best for Europe and North America
|
|
- Overpass API can be slow during peak hours; the script automatically
|
|
falls back between mirrors (overpass-api.de → overpass.kumi.systems)
|
|
- `distance` and `directions` use `--to` flag for the destination (not positional)
|
|
- If a zip code alone gives ambiguous results globally, include country/state
|
|
|
|
## Verification
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 ~/.hermes/skills/maps/scripts/maps_client.py search "Statue of Liberty"
|
|
# Should return lat ~40.689, lon ~-74.044
|
|
|
|
python3 ~/.hermes/skills/maps/scripts/maps_client.py nearby --near "Times Square" --category restaurant --limit 3
|
|
# Should return a list of restaurants within ~500m of Times Square
|
|
```
