I've been hoping for Mapbox or ESRI to come out with something robust for this! This is going to be especially useful in vacation planning. :-) We're already using ChatGPT and other tools to help plan a vacation overseas, but having good mapping data can help an agent figure out things like "does it make sense to go from A to B by car or train?" With the right metadata, an agent can churn not only on the actual route…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Say you want to visit some places for sure and maybe try some restaurant that was recommended to you. You yeet your travel dates to model, it uses mapbox's mcp to find all POIs that you need and creates a detailed plan for you.
and then you show up to the wrong address because the model swapped the address for a top golf and you wanted hot pot

Honest question: what's the fun in travel if you remove all uncertainty?
For instance, some might just want to relax in an environment far from their default, with the whole thing 100% planned so they don’t have any unnecessary stressors.

The answer: you actually can enjoy travel.
Or - a predictable framework allows space for spontaneous exploration.

For a family of four in peak season, I don’t see any appeal to not knowing where we’d sleep at night and not having that already reserved.
But within a particular destination (say we’re in X city or region for 5 days) we totally play it by ear.
That includes “let’s check out this book store and coffee shop” or “let’s rent bikes today and ride around”
It’s a good balance.
2. I was recently looking into vibe coding an app to generate isochrone maps with google maps API and estimated over $50 to generate the data. You're telling me that this MCP can just generate isochrone maps on demand with up to 100k data points for free? bonkers
