Overview
Provides access to Baidu Map Web Service APIs for place search, geocoding/ reverse geocoding, route planning, district boundary queries, and IP-based location, by using a configured BAIDU_MAP_AK access key.
Key Advantages
1.Covers most core Baidu mapping capabilities (POI search, nearby search, geocoding, reverse geocoding, driving/walking/transit routing, district boundaries, IP geolocation).
2.Clear trigger conditions and example queries that make it easy for an LLM to know when to call the skill.
3.Simple configuration model via a single BAIDU_MAP_AK environment variable.
4.Usage examples are concrete curl commands that map directly to HTTP GET requests, making it straightforward to adapt in other runtimes.
5.Supports both keyword-based and coordinate-based queries, enabling flexible location workflows.
Use Cases
- Answering user questions about locations in China, such as finding nearby POIs, stores, or landmarks.
- Converting user-provided addresses into coordinates (and vice versa) for downstream tasks like distance calculation or map display.
- Planning driving, walking, or public transit routes between two locations for travel assistance.
- Retrieving administrative district boundary coordinates for visualization or region-based analysis.
- Estimating a user’s rough location from an IP address to provide localized content or services (with user awareness).

**Judgement:** This skill is a solid, well-scoped integration with Baidu Map Web Service APIs, offering broad location, search, and routing functionality that should work well for China-focused geo tasks, provided a valid `BAIDU_MAP_AK` is configured.
**Key strengths**
- Rich feature coverage: POI search, nearby search, city-level search, geocoding and reverse geocoding, driving/walking/transit routing, district boundary queries, and IP-based location.
- Clear examples: Each capability is documented with concrete curl URLs, making intended parameters and outputs easy to infer.
- Simple setup: Only requires setting `BAIDU_MAP_AK` as an environment variable, which the runtime then uses for all calls.
**Main risks / limitations**
- **External dependency & quotas:** All functionality depends on Baidu’s APIs, network stability, and the configured AK’s quota; failures may occur if the key is invalid, misconfigured, or rate-limited.
- **Privacy and IP/location data:** IP-based and coordinate-based queries send user-related location data to Baidu; use only with user awareness and in compliance with local privacy regulations.
- **China-centric and coordinate system issues:** Baidu primarily uses BD09; confusion with WGS84 or other systems can lead to inaccurate positioning if not handled carefully.
- **Weather mismatch:** The description mentions weather queries, but the provided examples do not show an explicit weather API endpoint; weather support may be incomplete or undocumented.
**Recommended scenarios**
- Assistants that need to answer China-focused geographic questions (find nearby POIs, locate addresses, identify what a coordinate refers to).
- Travel or navigation helpers that plan routes (driving, walking, or public transit) between user-specified locations.
- Applications that must translate between human-readable addresses and coordinates for mapping or analytics.
- Tools that need administrative region boundaries for visualizations or region-based logic.
Use this skill when a user’s request clearly involves locations, routes, addresses, coordinates, or “Baidu Map” specifically, and ensure the environment has a valid `BAIDU_MAP_AK` configured before relying on it in production workflows.
