Things your coworker can do in Google Maps.
- Autocomplete Place Predictions
Returns 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.
GOOGLE_MAPS_AUTOCOMPLETE - Compute Route Matrix
Calculates 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.
GOOGLE_MAPS_COMPUTE_ROUTE_MATRIX - Distance Matrix (Legacy)
DEPRECATED: Legacy API that calculates travel distance and time for a matrix of origins and destinations. This API only works with API keys (no OAuth2 support). Use the modern 'Compute Route Matrix' action instead, which supports OAuth2 authentication. Supports different modes of transportation and options like departure/arrival times. Capped at 100 elements per request (elements = origins × destinations count); split large sets into batches.
GOOGLE_MAPS_DISTANCE_MATRIX_API - Geocode Address
DEPRECATED: Legacy API to convert street addresses into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude). This API works best with API key authentication. For OAuth connections without an API key, you may need to provide the 'key' parameter or use the newer 'Text Search' action instead. Use when you need to geocode an address or location to get its precise latitude/longitude coordinates.
GOOGLE_MAPS_GEOCODE_ADDRESS - Geocode Address With Query
Tool 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.
GOOGLE_MAPS_GEOCODE_ADDRESS_WITH_QUERY - Reverse Geocode Location
Tool 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.
GOOGLE_MAPS_GEOCODE_LOCATION - Geocode Place by ID
Tool 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.
GOOGLE_MAPS_GEOCODE_PLACE - Geocoding API
Convert 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.
GOOGLE_MAPS_GEOCODING_API - Get Place Details
Retrieves comprehensive details for a place using its resource name (places/{place_id} format). Use when you need detailed information about a specific place.
GOOGLE_MAPS_GET_PLACE_DETAILS - Embed Google Map
Tool 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.
GOOGLE_MAPS_MAPS_EMBED_API - Get Place Photo
Retrieves 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.
GOOGLE_MAPS_PLACE_PHOTO - Render Aerial Video
Starts 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.
GOOGLE_MAPS_RENDER_AERIAL_VIDEO - Text Search
Searches 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.
