Travel Mapify

Create interactive, professional travel route maps from location names.

Overview

This skill automatically:

1. Processes text input: Parses comma-separated location names directly
2. Geocodes locations to get precise coordinates using Amap API
3. Generates interactive maps with route optimization and POI management
4. Supports AI Vision workflow: When given travel planning images, use agent's AI Vision to extract POI names, then process as text input
5. Geocodes locations to get precise coordinates using Amap API
6. Generates interactive maps with route optimization and POI management
7. Integrates real hotel search using FlyAI for actual hotel recommendations
8. Creates professional outputs ready for sharing and presentation

When to Use

Text Input Mode:

• User provides comma-separated location names directly (e.g., "上海外滩,上海迪士尼乐园,豫园")
• User wants to quickly create a travel map from a simple list of destinations
• User has location names but no visual reference image

AI Vision Image Processing Workflow:

• User has a travel planning image (screenshot, photo, or digital plan)
• Agent uses AI Vision to analyze the image and extract POI names with sequence/order
• Extracted POI names are passed as text input to the skill
• This hybrid approach combines AI automation with the skill's robust text processing

Hotel Integration Mode:

• User wants real hotel recommendations near their destination
• User needs actual pricing and availability data
• User wants booking links for hotels through FlyAI integration

Workflow

Step 1: Input Processing and POI Extraction

For Direct Text Input:

• Parse comma-separated location names directly
• Create POI entries with high confidence (user-provided)
• Automatic city detection: Smart city detection from location names (e.g., "北京军事博物馆" → city="北京")
• Fallback to default: Uses Shanghai as default when no city can be detected

For Image Input (AI Vision Workflow):

• Use agent's AI Vision capability to analyze travel planning images
• Extract POI names and sequence from numbered markers or route indicators
• Preserve exact order as marked in the original image
• Pass extracted names as text input to the skill's standard processing pipeline
• Leverage existing text processing for geocoding, validation, and map generation

Step 2: Geocoding and Coordinate Resolution

• Use Amap geocoding API to resolve location names to precise coordinates
• Handle ambiguous locations with user confirmation
• Validate coordinate accuracy

Step 3: Enhanced Map Generation

• Use optimized travel_mapify with unique map ID isolation as main template with all UX improvements
• Automatic localStorage isolation based on POI names to prevent data conflicts between different maps
• Optimized performance with streamlined template generation and reduced dependencies
• Create a single dual-mode interface with toggle between Edit/View modes
• Implement drag-and-drop and arrow button reordering (edit mode only)
• Generate optimized route with directional arrows
• Add "Generate Final" functionality to download clean version
• Integrate real FlyAI hotel search with professional loading states
• Replace alert popups with notification system

Step 4: Automatic Server Management

• Automatically start HTTP server on port 9000 (or specified port)
• Automatically start hotel search server on port 8770 (or specified port)
• Check if servers are already running to avoid conflicts
• Provide direct access URLs in output
• Ensure all functionality is ready when map creation completes

Step 4: Professional Output Delivery

• Provide unified HTML file that works in both editing and presentation contexts
• Include clear instructions for toggling modes and generating final version
• Ensure mobile-responsive design

Main Template: The skill now uses the optimized travel_mapify system with unique map ID isolation as the primary approach, which includes:

• Optimized Template Generation: Streamlined HTML generation with minimal dependencies
• Unique Map ID Generation: Automatically creates a hash-based ID from POI names (e.g., travelMap_abc123) to isolate localStorage data
• No Cross-Map Data Contamination: Each travel map saves/retrieves data independently using its unique ID
• Persistent Per-Map State: Hotel searches, date selections, and POI reordering are saved separately for each map
• Enhanced Performance: Reduced template complexity and faster map loading
• Real FlyAI hotel search integration
• Professional notification system (no alert popups)
• Loading states with timeout handling
• Enhanced UX with smart defaults

Automatic Server Management: The enhanced main script automatically starts both HTTP server (port 9000) and hotel search server (port 8770) when generating maps, ensuring all functionality is ready immediately.

Usage Examples

Portable Execution

# From skill directory (recommended)
python3 flyai-travelmapify.py --locations "上海外滩,迪士尼乐园,豫园" --output-html shanghai-trip.html

# From any directory
python3 /path/to/flyai-travelmapify/flyai-travelmapify.py --locations "北京故宫,天坛,颐和园" --output-html beijing-trip.html

# AI Vision Image Processing Workflow:
# 1. Use agent's AI Vision to analyze travel image and extract POI names
# 2. Pass extracted names as text input to the skill

Image Input - AI Vision Enhanced

User: "Here's my travel plan screenshot, can you make it interactive?" → Skill analyzes image using AI Vision model → If needed, requests clarification: "What city is this for?" or "How many attractions are marked?" → Extracts attractions with preserved sequence and generates interactive map

Image Input - Manual Clarification

User provides image → Skill detects uncertainty → Requests city context → User responds "重庆" → Skill processes with enhanced accuracy

Image Input - Direct POI Entry

When AI Vision cannot confidently identify attractions, skill prompts: "Please provide attraction names in order, separated by commas"

Image Input - Advanced Usage

User: "I have a photo of our Beijing itinerary, please create a shareable map" → Skill processes image, validates locations, creates optimized route with professional styling

Text Input - Direct Locations with Auto City Detection

User: "北京军事博物馆,北京科技大学" → Skill auto-detects city="北京" from location names → Parses locations directly, geocodes them, and generates interactive map

Text Input - Default City Fallback

User: "外滩,迪士尼乐园,豫园" → Skill cannot detect city from generic names → Uses default city="上海" for geocoding → Generates interactive map

Text Input - Simple List

User: "Create a travel map for: Tokyo Tower, Shibuya Crossing, Meiji Shrine" → Skill extracts location names, geocodes them, creates optimized route

Hotel Search Integration

User: Clicks "搜酒店" button in generated map → Real FlyAI hotel search returns actual hotel data with prices and booking links → No mock data - uses real-time Fliggy MCP integration → Professional UX with loading states and notifications (no alert popups) → Default dates: today for check-in, tomorrow for check-out (1-night stay)

Customization Request

User: "Can you adjust the route order and add missing locations?" → Skill provides editable interface with search functionality and reordering tools

Technical Requirements

• Python 3.7+: Required for all scripts (uses standard library only)
• FlyAI CLI: Must be installed globally (npm install -g @openclaw/flyai)
• Amap API: Uses built-in default API key (no user key required)
• Local Proxy: Built-in proxy server handles Amap API requests (default port 8769)
• Web Browser: Modern browser with JavaScript support for interactive features

Required Skills

This skill depends on the following OpenClaw skills:

• amap-maps: Provides Amap LBS services for geocoding, POI search, and location services

Both skills must be installed in your OpenClaw workspace under the skills/ directory:

~/.openclaw/workspace/
├── skills/
│   ├── flyai-travelmapify/
│   └── amap-maps/

Portable Design

✅ No hardcoded paths - Automatically detects OpenClaw workspace and FlyAI installation ✅ Cross-platform - Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux ✅ Self-contained - All scripts and templates included in skill directory ✅ Environment-aware - Adapts to different system configurations ✅ Fallback mechanisms - Multiple detection methods for required components
