Examples

Simple distance check

./scripts/relationship.sh '{
  "start": {"lat": 51.5074, "lon": -0.1278},
  "end": {"lat": 48.8566, "lon": 2.3522}
}'

Get only distance and direction

./scripts/relationship.sh '{
  "start": {"lat": 40.7128, "lon": -74.0060},
  "end": {"lat": 40.7589, "lon": -73.9851},
  "include": ["distance", "direction"]
}'

Use Cases

• Proximity checks: Determine if two locations are within a certain distance
• Direction guidance: Provide cardinal direction context (north, southeast, etc.)
• Travel planning: Estimate travel times for different transport modes
• Location context: Generate human-readable descriptions of spatial relationships
