Tools

directions ~328 tokens
"Directions from A to B" / "how far is [X] from [Y]" / "hiking / cycling / wheelchair / walking route" / "truck routing" / "HGV directions" / "driving route" — turn-by-turn routing between coordinates with profile-specific routing. Profiles: driving-car, driving-hgv (trucks), foot-walking, foot-hiki
elevation_line ~226 tokens
"Elevation profile along a route" / "hiking trail elevation gain" / "topographic profile of [path]" / "how hilly is this route" — elevation samples along a geometry (linestring). Pass geojson / polyline / encodedpolyline5 / encodedpolyline6. Use for hiking elevation gain, cycling grade analysis, tra
elevation_point ~193 tokens
"Elevation / altitude at [coordinates]" / "how high is [location]" / "height above sea level for [lat,lng]" — elevation (meters above sea level) at a single point. Use for "what's the elevation of Denver", terrain queries, or attaching altitude to GPS records.
geocode_search ~221 tokens
"Geocode [address]" / "find [city] coordinates" / "search for places named [X]" / "where is [landmark]" — geocode an address or place name to coordinates via Pelias (OpenStreetMap-backed). Returns ranked candidates with lat/lng, address components, layer (venue/street/locality/region). Use as a free
isochrones ~266 tokens
"Reachable area in [N] minutes" / "drive-time / walk-time / bike-time polygons" / "service area" / "catchment polygon" / "isochrone map" — generate isochrone polygons (area reachable from a point in time or distance) for car / truck / bike / foot / wheelchair profiles using OpenStreetMap. Use for de
matrix ~396 tokens
"Distance matrix between locations" / "all-to-all travel times" / "N×M routing grid" / "drive / walk / bike times between [list]" — N×M distance and duration matrix between many points via OpenStreetMap routing. Use for traveling-salesman setup, multi-stop optimization, nearest-warehouse, fleet disp
snap ~192 tokens
"Snap coordinate to nearest road" / "find closest road to [lat,lng]" / "is there a road at this point" — snap arbitrary GPS coordinates to the nearest routable OSM road for a given profile (car / bike / foot). Use to clean noisy GPS, validate routability before calling directions, or place markers o
