A DAY WITH THIS

You're planning a weekend trip and ask Claude to help you research neighborhoods in a new city. Claude uses the Google Maps MCP to pull up saved places, check route times between districts, and compile offline map data so you can explore without WiFi. By the time you finish coffee, you have a structured travel plan with neighborhoods ranked by transit time and amenities.
