What AI agents can do with Google Maps Platform 9 Tools for Location Intelligence
Access directions, geocoding, and place details for your AI agent.
Get directions
Get travel directions between two points for driving, walking, bicycling, or transit. This helps you plan specific routes for different modes of transport.
Get distance matrix
Calculate travel distance and time for multiple origins and destinations at once. It is perfect for comparing several delivery options quickly.
Get elevation
Get elevation data for locations on the earth. Use this to find the altitude of specific coordinates.
Find place from text
Find a place based on a text query. This is the first step to get a Place ID before looking up deeper details.
Geocode address
Convert a physical address into geographic coordinates. This turns a text address into usable latitude and longitude.
Search nearby places
Search for places of interest near a specific coordinate. You can filter by type or keyword to find what you need nearby.
Get place details
Get detailed information about a specific place using its Place ID. It pulls ratings, hours, and other rich data.
Reverse geocode
Convert GPS coordinates back into a physical address. This is useful for identifying locations from raw coordinate data.
Get timezone
Get timezone information for a specific location. This is essential for scheduling events across different regions.
A Connector is a URL. Vinkius runs it: hosting, security, governance, observability.
You're looking at one of 5,800+ managed Connectors. The real value isn't the catalog. It's the control plane that secures, governs, audits, and manages every interaction between your agents and the tools they use.
No Shadow AI
Every agent action is visible, approved, and auditable. Nothing runs outside your governance.
Absolute agent control
Fine-grained permissions for every agent, MCP, and tool. Instantly revoke access and audit every execution.
Cost control per token
Spend broken down to the token, tool, and agent. Budgets and hard limits. No surprise invoices.
Managed & monitored infra
We operate the runtime, authentication, scaling, retries, and monitoring. Your team manages AI, not infrastructure.
Data protection, DLP by design
Sensitive data is filtered before reaching the model. Access is governed so agents receive only the information they're allowed to use.
Token optimization, real savings
Lower AI costs by delivering the right context instead of unnecessary tools. Better accuracy, faster responses, and fewer wasted tokens.
