GoogleMapTools enable an Agent to interact with various Google Maps services for location-based operations including place search, directions, geocoding, and more.

​
Prerequisites

The following example requires the googlemaps library and an API key which can be obtained from the Google Cloud Console. 
pip install googlemaps

export GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
You’ll need to enable the following APIs in your Google Cloud Console:
  • Places API
  • Directions API
  • Geocoding API
  • Address Validation API
  • Distance Matrix API
  • Elevation API
  • Time Zone API

​
Example

Basic usage of the Google Maps toolkit: 
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.google_maps import GoogleMapTools

agent = Agent(tools=[GoogleMapTools()], show_tool_calls=True)
agent.print_response("Find coffee shops in San Francisco")
For more examples, see the Google Maps Tools Examples.
