Usage Guidelines

• ALWAYS call show_on_map after collecting location data — visual maps are the primary value.
• Preserve

  place_id

  from search results for use with

  get_place_details

  .
• Infer transportation mode from context (driving for long distances, walking for short ones).
• Show 1-5 most relevant places per map.

Response Pattern
