Mapy.cz
Utilities & PersonalUse mapping, geocoding, and routing from the Mapy.com REST API by Seznam. Agents convert addresses to coordinates, autocomplete places, and plan routes for dispatch and field work.
What This Integration Enables
Mapy.cz is worth choosing for a specific reason, and it is not that it does geocoding. Global mapping providers index the world at a uniform depth. National providers index one country properly. This connector calls the Mapy.com REST API built by Seznam, whose coverage is worldwide but whose detail is concentrated across Czechia and Slovakia: local place names as people actually say them, house-number level address structure, and street-level panorama photography of the same region. If your customers, your technicians and your delivery addresses are Czech or Slovak, the honest argument for a local provider is that it is more likely to be right about your addresses than an index optimised for global averages.
The second thing this connector does that most geocoders do not is produce something a person can look at. Get Static Map Image and Get Panorama Image render into FlowRunner file storage and return a shareable URL, which means a location can be attached to an email, a ticket or a chat message as a picture rather than a coordinate pair. That matters for human-in-the-loop work, because the fastest way to confirm that an agent found the right place is to show a person the place. Around those sit routing (Plan Route for a single trip, Get Route Matrix for many-to-many travel times), terrain elevation for up to 256 points at a time, and time zone resolution either from coordinates or from a named IANA zone, which is what you need before scheduling anything that crosses a border or a daylight saving change.

Use Case Scenarios
Cleaning Addresses at the Point of Capture
A web form or an inbound lead in HubSpot carries an address a person typed in a hurry. Rather than storing it and discovering the problem at dispatch, the agent runs Suggest Places against the partial string and takes the ranked candidates, then calls Geocode Address on the selected one to get coordinates plus the ordered regional structure from address up to country. The postal code and locality that come back are written to the record alongside the original text, so the CRM holds both what the customer wrote and what it resolved to. Nothing is silently overwritten. When the resolved locality disagrees with the one on file, that disagreement becomes a flag rather than a correction.
Nearest Technician by Road, Not by Ruler
A service request lands for an address in a region where straight-line distance and driving time are very different things. The agent geocodes the site, collects the current positions of the technicians on shift, and calls Get Route Matrix with those positions as starts and the site as the end. The matrix returns distance and duration for every pair, and unreachable pairs come back as negative values rather than silently as zeros, so a technician on the wrong side of a closed crossing is visibly unreachable instead of appearing to be closest. The agent ranks by duration, posts the shortlist to the dispatch channel with each technician's travel time, and the job goes to a person who can actually get there.
A Site Visit Brief the Technician Can Recognise
Before a survey or an installation, the agent assembles a brief. Get Static Map Image renders the site with a marker at a viewport fitted to the pin, and Get Panorama Image renders the street-level view at a chosen direction and field of view so the technician sees the entrance they are looking for rather than a rooftop. Get Elevation profiles the access route where terrain matters, and Get Time Zone By Coordinates confirms the local time and the current daylight saving state before the appointment is confirmed. All of it attaches to the ticket as images and values, not as links a technician has to open on a phone in a van.
Human-in-Loop Highlight
Geocode Address returns up to fifteen ranked matching entities, and the ranking is a judgment about text, not about your customer. When several candidates are plausible, or when the best match resolves to a locality rather than a street address, taking the first result and dispatching against it sends a van to a place nobody chose. Mapy.cz gives the agent a better move than a confidence threshold: it can render the candidate. So on any job where the top two candidates sit more than a configured distance apart, or where the resolved level is coarser than an address, the agent stops before booking. It posts the static map with the pin, the street-level panorama for that location, and the competing candidates to the dispatcher in Slack: "Job [ref] for [customer]. Address resolved to [candidate 1] with [candidate 2] as the runner-up, [distance] apart. Panorama and pin attached. Is this the building, or should I take the alternative?" A wrong geocode is a cheap automation exception to catch and an expensive one to discover on arrival, and panorama coverage is densest in exactly the region this connector is best at.
Agent Capabilities
10 actionsGeocoding and Places
3- Geocode Address Resolves a textual location query into geographic coordinates. The query can be an address, a street, a city, a point of interest or a coordinate pair, and the response is an ordered list of matching entities carrying position, bounding box, postal code where available, and the full regional structure from address up to country. Up to fifteen results are returned per call, which is what makes ambiguity visible rather than hidden. Coverage is most detailed for Czechia and Slovakia.
- Reverse Geocode Coordinates Resolves a coordinate pair into the administrative entities that contain it, returning the nearest address where one exists along with the ordered structure from street up to country and the ISO country code. Used to turn a GPS reading from a driver's app, a delivery scan or a device into something a person can read in a ticket.
- Suggest Places Suggests matching places for a partial or incomplete query, built for type-ahead and autocomplete. It behaves like geocoding but tolerates unfinished input, returning up to fifteen ranked candidates with coordinates, entity type and regional structure. Use it at the point of capture so an address is resolved before it is stored rather than after it has been acted on.
Routing
2- Plan Route Plans a route between a start and an end point, optionally through up to fifteen waypoints, for a chosen mode of transport. Returns total length in meters, estimated duration in seconds, per-leg statistics and the route geometry as GeoJSON or an encoded polyline. Car routes can avoid toll roads and highways, and supplying a departure time switches the calculation to traffic-aware planning.
- Get Route Matrix Calculates travel distance and duration for every combination of start and end points. Supply starts and ends for an NxM matrix or starts alone for a full NxN matrix, capped at 100 cells with each pair no more than 500 km apart as the crow flies. This is the action behind nearest-branch lookups, technician assignment and delivery sequencing. Unreachable pairs return negative length and duration as error codes, so a pair that cannot be driven never masquerades as a short trip.
Terrain and Imagery
3- Get Elevation Returns terrain elevation in meters above sea level for up to 256 coordinate pairs in a single call, which makes it practical to profile a whole track or route rather than spot-check it. Almost every position worldwide has an elevation; anomalous locations such as areas near the poles return the sentinel value -100000.0 instead.
- Get Static Map Image Renders a map as an image, stores it in FlowRunner file storage and returns a shareable URL for use in emails, reports, tickets and chat messages. The viewport can be set by a center point and zoom, by a bounding box, or fitted automatically around the supplied markers. Several map styles are supported along with custom markers and drawn polygons or paths, at dimensions from 10 to 1024 pixels per side.
- Get Panorama Image Renders a street-level panorama photo for the location nearest to the given coordinates, stores it in FlowRunner file storage and returns a shareable URL. View direction, tilt and field of view are all adjustable, so the image can be aimed at the entrance rather than the sky. Panorama coverage is concentrated in Czechia and Slovakia, and a request fails with a not-found error when no panorama exists inside the search radius.
Time Zones
2- Get Time Zone By Coordinates Returns the IANA time zone that applies at a set of coordinates, together with current local and UTC time, current and standard UTC offsets in seconds, time zone abbreviations, and daylight saving details including the exact start and end of the current DST period. Run it before scheduling anything at a location whose time zone you have not confirmed.
- Get Time Zone Info Returns the same detail for a named IANA time zone such as Europe/Prague, including current local and UTC time, offsets, abbreviations and daylight saving transition times. Use it when the zone name is already known and there is no need to resolve it from coordinates.
