Google Maps

What is the Google Maps tool?

The Google Maps tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to search places and get directions via google maps. When added to an agent in Agno Builder, the agent can autonomously decide when to invoke this tool based on the user's request.

This tool requires a GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY environment variable. Get your API key at console.cloud.google.com.

How to use Google Maps in Agno Builder

1. 1

   Create an agent

   Drag an Agent node onto the canvas in Agno Builder, or use one of the built-in templates.

2. 2

   Enable Google Maps

   Click the agent, go to the Tools tab, and toggle on "Google Maps" from the productivity category.

3. 3

   Add your API key

   Enter your GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY in the tool configuration. Your key stays in your browser and is never stored on our servers.

4. 4

   Test in chat

   Open the chat panel and send a message. The agent will automatically use Google Maps when relevant.

5. 5

   Export Python code

   Click File > Export Python to get clean, runnable code with the correct imports for Google Maps.

Python code example

This is the code Agno Builder exports when you use Google Maps:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.tools.google_maps import GoogleMapTools

agent = Agent(
    name="Google Maps Agent",
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[GoogleMapTools()],
    instructions=["Use the google maps tool to help the user."],
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response("Help me with a google-maps task")

Install with: pip install agno # + set GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY
