# Google Maps Platform agent skills

> Teaches your agent to build with Google Maps Platform: maps, places, geocoding, routes and more, grounded in fresh docs.

Google Maps Platform agent skills teach your coding agent how to build with Google Maps Platform. They cover maps, places, addresses and geocoding, routes and ETAs (including eco-friendly routing), nearby search, 3D, Street View and static maps, marker clustering, custom styling, drawing, geofencing, heatmaps, and air quality, pollen, solar and weather data, across Web, Android, iOS and the Web Services APIs.

How it helps
- Writes production-ready Maps code that follows Google Maps Platform best practices
- Grounds non-trivial code in freshly retrieved documentation from the Google Maps Platform Code Assist service, rather than the model's memory
- For prototypes, uses the public Maps Demo Key, with no billing setup or Cloud project needed
- For production, prompts you to create and restrict your own API key

How to install it
Add it to Gemini CLI with gemini extensions install https://github.com/googlemaps/agent-skills. The same skills also install with npx skills add googlemaps/agent-skills.

Good to know
