What This Skill Does

The gaode_map skill acts as a powerful interface between OpenClaw and the Gaode Map (AMap) platform. By leveraging the comprehensive AMap API, this skill allows the AI agent to perform real-time geographic queries and spatial analysis. Whether you need to locate specific Points of Interest (POIs) such as hotels, restaurants, or gas stations, or require complex route planning for commuting, this skill provides the necessary bridge to translate natural language requests into structured API calls. It supports both coordinate-based and address-based queries, making it highly flexible for different levels of geographic specificity.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have the necessary system dependencies installed. Use the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/beelkic/gaodemapskill-bak

After installation, you must obtain a valid API Key from the Gaode Map Developer Platform. Set this key as an environment variable named AMAP_API_KEY to ensure the script can authenticate your requests correctly. Failure to set this variable will result in request rejection.

Use Cases

  • Logistics and Delivery: Quickly determine the most efficient routes for delivery drivers by analyzing transit or driving paths.
  • Travel Planning: Help users discover local landmarks, cafes, or business offices while traveling in unfamiliar cities.
  • Local Search Automation: Build automated reports that include nearby service providers based on a user's current city or specific coordinates.
  • Commute Monitoring: Compare different transit modes, such as walking versus driving, to provide users with time-saving travel advice.

Example Prompts

  1. "I am currently in Hangzhou, can you find me a list of highly-rated traditional tea houses nearby?"
  2. "What is the best way to get from the Shanghai International Airport to the Bund using public transportation?"
  3. "Plan a driving route from my current location at the city center to the nearest hospital in Guangzhou."

Tips & Limitations

  • API Limits: Remember that your Gaode Map developer account may have daily quota limits. Monitor your usage via the Gaode dashboard to avoid service interruptions.
  • Address Accuracy: When using address strings rather than coordinates, providing the 'city' parameter significantly improves geocoding accuracy.
  • Transit Mode: Note that the 'transit' mode for route planning requires the city name to be specified to ensure the engine correctly maps local subway and bus networks.
  • Security: Never expose your AMAP_API_KEY in public repositories or logs. Ensure your environment variables are managed securely within your OpenClaw host system.
