Tools

• get_byway ~117 tokens
  Full detail for one scenic byway or regional route: designation, states or country, length, scenic lookouts on the route, and itineraries that ride it.
• get_itinerary ~96 tokens
  A classic road-trip itinerary: waypoints, states, and the scenic byways along the route.
• get_place ~326 tokens
  Everything the Byway atlas holds on one place: its own description, the records it traces to (OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia, Wikidata), reconciled public records (GNIS, National Register), the scenic byways that pass near it, the nearest verified lookouts, and for a place people walk to from the car (a w
• places_along_route ~368 tokens
  Atlas inventory along a routed drive: every place of a kind within a band of the corridor between two points. This returns the raw record, not a plan — to plan a drive with stops chosen for the traveler, use plan_drive. One limit, stated: ghost-town rows live in a separate Wikidata corpus the corrid
• places_on_byway ~359 tokens
  Atlas places along one scenic byway: every place of a kind within a band of the drawn route, nearest to the road first, each marked whether it sits on the byway itself or is a detour off it. Only routes with drawn geometry can answer. This is the atlas inventory beside a road, not an itinerary. One
• plan_drive ~441 tokens
  Plan a scenic drive with the Byway engine: real verified stops, honest timing, official scenic byways. Origin and destination are place names — the tool resolves each to the closest matching real place. budget_min is the whole time window (driving plus stops, default 240): a long drive needs a budge
• search_byways ~208 tokens
  Search scenic byways and signed routes — the US federal roster plus regional routes (Québec, France, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, New Zealand today; growing). Filter by name, US state, or ISO-2 country. US byways carry byway.world links.
• search_destinations ~211 tokens
  Find US destination cities by name or state, with the day trip around each one: the scenic byways, national parks, public land units and campgrounds Byway's registries place within 30 miles. Only cities with a proven weave are listed — every result links to its own byway.world destination page.
• search_lookouts ~170 tokens
  Scenic lookouts (viewpoints) along a specific byway, or across a US state. Every lookout is a real, verified place — coverage is growing. Where known, each carries the walk in from the car: time, path length one way and climb, or roadside (no walk).
• search_places ~497 tokens
  Search the Byway atlas of typed places — waterfalls, hot springs, lighthouses, covered bridges, historic sites, beaches, peaks, rest areas, ghost towns, museums and attractions. Locate by US state (which also needs a kind), by a point and radius, or by name; a name given alongside a locator narrows
