Best Practices#

• Always include a purpose for each waypoint to get better route analysis
• Set a time_budget to get feasibility checks and optimization suggestions
• Use "foot" transport for city walking tours, "bike" for cycling tours, "car" for road trips
• Order waypoints in your preferred visiting sequence; the API will check feasibility
• Combine with the query skill to discover points of interest to add as waypoints
• Combine with the hotel-finder skill to find accommodation near your first or last waypoint
• Combine with the context skill to learn more about each waypoint's neighborhood
• For longer trips, break the itinerary into manageable day segments
