Agent Drops Live Map Pins Mid-Conversation, No API Keys Needed
PilgrimofHaqq2 · reddit · 2026-09-21
A developer shares a non-coding agent feature: instead of listing places in text, the agent pins them onto a live map right inside the chat.
- Numbered, color-coded pins by category: food, sights, transit, stays, nature, etc.
- Zero API keys anywhere: real OpenStreetMap tiles, and every pin deep-links into Google Maps
- One-tap routes: the whole set becomes an ordered Google Maps route, up to 10 stops
- Three ways to view: a slim strip in the transcript, fullscreen, or a side panel that follows the latest map live with a per-chat switcher
