FAQ

Questions Google Maps owners ask.

  • 01

    Can my agent find the latitude and longitude of an address via Google Maps?

    Yes. Use the 'geocode' capability. Provide the physical address or location name, and the agent will translate the string into precise geographic coordinates required for spatial analysis flawlessly.

  • 02

    How do I get reviews and opening hours for a restaurant via chat?

    First, use 'place_search' to find the restaurant and its PlaceID. Then, use 'place_details' with that ID. Your agent will fetch the full payload including reviews, ratings, and operating hours natively.

  • 03

    Can I calculate the driving time between two cities through the agent?

    Absolutely. Use the 'directions' capability. Provide the origin and destination addresses and set the mode to 'driving'. The agent will return the distance and estimated time of arrival (ETA) synchronously.
