20 tools from Google Maps.

  • Autocomplete Place PredictionsReturns place and query predictions for text input. Use when implementing as-you-type autocomplete functionality for place searches. Returns up to five predictions ordered by relevance.
  • Compute Route MatrixCalculates travel distance and duration matrix between multiple origins and destinations using the modern Routes API; supports OAuth2 authentication and various travel modes. Matrix is capped at 625 elements (e.g., 25×25); chunk larger sets to avoid RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED errors. Response elements may be returned out of input order — always use originIndex and destinationIndex to map results. Only use elements where condition='ROUTE_EXISTS'; the matrix may be incomplete.
  • Geocode Address With QueryTool to map addresses to geographic coordinates with query parameter. Use when you need to convert a textual address into latitude/longitude coordinates using the modern v4beta API. Results may match multiple places — always verify `formattedAddress`, `region`, and `addressComponents` in the response before using returned coordinates.
  • Geocode DestinationsTool to perform destination lookup and return detailed destination information including primary place, containing places, sub-destinations, landmarks, entrances, and navigation points. Use when you need comprehensive destination data for an address, place ID, or geographic coordinates.
  • Reverse Geocode LocationTool to convert geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) to human-readable addresses using reverse geocoding. Use when you need to find the address or place name for a given set of coordinates. A single coordinate pair may return multiple results; verify formattedAddress, region, and addressComponents before committing to a result.
  • Geocode Place by IDTool to perform geocode lookup using a place identifier to retrieve address and coordinates. Use when you need to get detailed geographic information for a specific Google Place ID.
  • Geocoding APIConvert addresses into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) and vice versa (reverse geocoding), or get an address for a Place ID. Uses the Geocoding API v4 (v4beta) which supports OAuth2 authentication. Exactly one of `address`, `latlng`, or `place_id` must be provided per request; omitting all three or mixing incompatible combinations yields no useful results.
  • Geolocate DeviceTool to determine location based on cell towers and WiFi access points. Use when you need to find the geographic location of a device using network infrastructure data.
  • Get 2D Map TileTool to retrieve a 2D map tile image at specified coordinates for building custom map visualizations. Use when you need to download individual map tile images for roadmap, satellite, or terrain views. Requires a valid session token from the createSession endpoint.
  • Get 3D Tiles RootTool to retrieve the 3D Tiles tileset root configuration for photorealistic 3D map rendering. Use when you need to initialize a 3D renderer with Google's photorealistic tiles following the OGC 3D Tiles specification. The Map Tiles API is billable per request; cache the root response client-side and avoid repeated calls.
  • Get Place DetailsRetrieves comprehensive details for a place using its resource name (places/{place_id} format). Use when you need detailed information about a specific place.
  • Get RouteCalculates one or more routes between two specified locations. Uses various travel modes and preferences; addresses must be resolvable by Google Maps. Response `duration` is a string with 's' suffix (e.g., `"4557s"`); parse before displaying.
  • Get Time ZoneRetrieves time zone information for a specific geographic location and timestamp. Use this action when you need to determine the time zone ID, UTC offset, daylight savings offset, or localized time zone name for any point on Earth. The API considers the provided timestamp to accurately determine whether daylight savings is in effect at that moment.
  • Lookup Aerial VideoTool to look up an aerial view video by address or video ID. Returns video metadata including state and URIs for playback. Use when you need to retrieve a previously rendered aerial video or check the status of a video render request. Note that receiving a video is a billable event.
  • Embed Google MapTool to generate an embeddable Google Map URL and HTML iframe code. Use when you need to display a map (place, view, directions, street view, search) on a webpage without JavaScript. Note: This API only works with API keys (no OAuth2 support). It generates embed URLs and does not make direct API calls. Generated embed URLs are publicly accessible; avoid passing sensitive or internal location queries.
  • Nearby searchSearches for places (e.g., restaurants, parks) within a specified circular area, with options to filter by place types and customize the returned fields and number of results.
  • Get Place PhotoRetrieves high quality photographic content from the Google Maps Places database. Use when you need to download a place photo using a photo_reference obtained from Place Details, Nearby Search, or Text Search requests. Images are scaled proportionally to fit within specified dimensions.
  • Render Aerial VideoStarts rendering an aerial view video for a US postal address. Returns a video ID that can be used with lookupVideo to retrieve the video once rendering completes. Rendering typically takes up to a few hours.
  • Text SearchSearches for places on Google Maps using a textual query (e.g., "restaurants in London", "Eiffel Tower"). Results may include CLOSED_PERMANENTLY or TEMPORARILY_CLOSED places — filter by businessStatus=OPERATIONAL. Include city/region and business type in textQuery to avoid empty or irrelevant results. Deduplicate using id or formattedAddress, not name alone. Throttle to ~1 req/s; OVER_QUERY_LIMIT (HTTP 429) requires exponential backoff.
  • Create Tiles SessionTool to create a session token required for accessing 2D Tiles and Street View imagery. Use when you need to initialize tile-based map rendering or street view display. The session token is valid for approximately two weeks and must be included in all subsequent tile requests. Each call consumes quota — cache and reuse the returned token across all tile requests within its validity window rather than creating a new session per request.
