Weather & maps

A forecast card, and trips laid out on an interactive map.

Weather

Ask "what's the weather in Tokyo this week?" and the answer carries a compact card: the conditions now, the day's temperature curve and the next three days. Details opens it in place to the readings — Feels like, Humidity, Precip, Wind, UV Index, Visibility, Pressure, Sunrise, Sunset — and the week as rows. Weather comes from Open-Meteo and needs no key.

Map Itinerary

Ask for a trip ("plan two days in Kyoto") or a set of places, and the answer draws them on one map: a tab per day, numbered stops, the route between them. Click a stop for its panel — Overview, Reviews, Hours, photos and whether it is Open now. Open route in Google Maps hands the day's route to Google Maps, and Copy day as markdown copies the plan.

The map uses Google Maps and Places with your own key: add a Google API Key under Settings → Built-in Tools → Map Itinerary. Getting API keys walks through creating one.

When the map won't load

If the map turns grey with "This page can't load Google Maps correctly", or is dimmed with "For development purposes only" across it, Google refused the key. This is set in your Google Cloud project, not in Actovia:

  • Usage limit reached. Many maps drawn in a short time (or a daily cap you set yourself under APIs & Services → Quotas) use up the key's allowance. It comes back on its own, at the latest when the daily quota resets; raise the cap if it happens often.
  • No billing account. Google Maps needs a billing account linked to the project, even within its free monthly usage.
  • API not enabled. Both Maps JavaScript API and Places API (New) must be enabled for the key's project.
  • Wrong restriction. A key restricted by HTTP referrer fails in a desktop app; restrict it by API instead.

The stops, their details and Open route in Google Maps still work while the map itself is refused.
