Maps
Your agent can't geocode or route; this turns addresses into coordinates, finds nearby places, and gives directions.
Maps & Weather
Looks up locations, converts addresses to coordinates and back, finds places nearby, and calculates routes with distance and travel time. Covers the core mapping operations without requiring a map display: geocoding, reverse geocoding, nearby-place search, and driving, walking, or cycling directions between any points.
Use when
You need to resolve a location, label a coordinate, find places near a point, or get travel distance and time.
Not for
Live traffic or transit schedules, map images or embeddable maps, device GPS or tracking, postal address validation, or bulk geocoding of large lists.
What you can do
Each is a sub-skill of Maps; the router picks the right one for your request.
What you get back
information
Returns structured location data (coordinates, addresses, place listings, or a route with distance and time), credited to OpenStreetMap contributors. Not a map image or an embeddable map.
