Summary
Route questions answered against today's traffic.
It puts Google's routing, traffic and cost data behind a plain question, so "which way to the airport right now" comes back with the alternatives compared and the fuel and tolls priced in.
What it is
A routing and traffic layer over the Google Maps APIs, run locally over stdio. Every answer is a live call to Google, so the route, the delay and the cost reflect conditions at the moment you ask.
What you get
- An optimal route between two points, with waypoints and current traffic folded into the estimate
- Several route alternatives compared in one answer, each with its own options applied
- Real-time traffic and the delay it is adding to a given trip
- A trip cost estimate covering fuel and tolls, not just distance and time
Requirements
Node.js 18 or newer and a Google Maps API key with Directions, Distance Matrix and Geocoding enabled. The key goes into config/config.json before the server will start, and Google bills those APIs on its own terms.
