What This Skill Does

The route skill is a specialized navigation component of the Camino AI location intelligence suite. It provides high-precision point-to-point routing, allowing users to calculate travel distances, estimated arrival times, and turn-by-turn directions. Designed to integrate seamlessly with OpenClaw, this skill supports multiple travel modalities including car, bike, and foot, making it an essential tool for logistics, travel planning, or personal navigation. It also offers advanced features like route geometry mapping and waypoint imagery for more complex integration tasks.

Installation

You can install this skill via the clawhub registry or directly from the source repository. To install via clawhub, use the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/james-southendsolutions/camino-route

For source-based installation, ensure you have the necessary environment variables set, specifically your CAMINO_API_KEY. You may need to restart your OpenClaw agent instance to register the newly installed skill into your local configuration.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for any scenario requiring spatial awareness and movement logistics. Common use cases include:

• Optimizing delivery routes for small fleets or urban logistics.
• Planning walking tours or pedestrian-friendly paths in dense urban environments.
• Integrating real-time travel estimates into productivity dashboards.
• Creating visual maps by leveraging the include_geometry parameter for frontend display.
• Automating commuting decisions based on real-time traffic or travel time comparisons.

Example Prompts

1. "Calculate the quickest driving route from the Empire State Building to Central Park, and let me know the estimated travel time."
2. "Show me the best walking path from my current coordinates at 40.7128, -74.0060 to the nearby metro station."
3. "Can you map out a bike route between these two points including the full geometry data for my dashboard?"

Tips & Limitations

Always ensure your latitude and longitude coordinates are formatted as floats. The default transport mode is 'car', so always specify 'foot' or 'bike' if you require alternative routing. Be mindful that requesting geometry and imagery data increases payload size, which may affect latency in slower network environments. Ensure your API key is properly stored in your environment settings to avoid authentication errors. If you reach your monthly limit, consider upgrading your account through the Camino portal to ensure uninterrupted service for your agent workflows.
