OpenStreetMap LLM Tool 2.0: Navigation and Tourist Attractions

Published: 2024-11-29T22:49:14+01:00

A major update for the OpenStreetMap tool for OpenWebUI is now available. You can grab it at one of the links below.

The tool is now on the 2.x iteration, and comes with a number of improvements and bug fixes.

New Features

There are several new features that make the tool more useful and reliable.

• Navigation: LLMs can now provide navigation information from ORS, and answer questions about distance between places.
• New Citations: Fancy, styled citations per OSM result.
• New POI category: tourist attractions.
• POI ranking system: currently used only for tourist attractions, to push more prominent attractions to the top.

Navigation: Recommended Models

Of the officially tested models, the recommended ones for use with the navigation feature are:

• Qwen2.5
• Mistral Nemo
• Mistral Small

These models (and their derivatives) demonstrate contextual awareness and can understand conversations where the user asks about a destination, and then asks how to get there in a later message.

Llama3 will work, but it requires a very explicit prompt to use the navigation function. Something like: "How do I get to X? Use the OSM navigation tool" usually triggers it.

Other Improvements

Other improvements and bug fixes:

• Information from OpenRouteService is now cached.
• Various fixes for crashes and misleading information.
