<p>Overview of MapQaTor. It enables users to interact with map APIs by submitting queries, processing responses, and visualizing data. The framework allows users to design question-answer pairs and export the dataset in JSON format for downstream applications. The whole working flow is shown using ten key steps.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Introduction</h2>
<p>
Mapping and navigation services like Google Maps, Apple Maps, OpenStreetMap, are essential for accessing various
location-based data, yet they often struggle to handle natural language geospatial queries. Recent advancements in Large
Language Models (LLMs) show promise in question answering (QA), but creating reliable geospatial QA datasets from map
services remains challenging. We introduce MapQaTor, an extensible open-source framework that streamlines the creation
of reproducible, traceable map-based QA datasets. MapQaTor enables seamless integration with any maps API, allowing
users to gather and visualize data from diverse sources with minimal setup. By caching API responses, the platform
ensures consistent ground truth, enhancing the reliability of the data even as real-world information evolves. MapQaTor
centralizes data retrieval, annotation, and visualization within a single platform, offering a unique opportunity to
evaluate the current state of LLM-based geospatial reasoning while advancing their capabilities for improved geospatial
understanding. Evaluation metrics show that, MapQaTor speeds up the annotation process by at least 30 times compared to
manual methods, underscoring its potential for developing geospatial resources, such as complex map reasoning datasets.

We present MapQaTor, a web application designed to streamline the creation of map-based QA datasets. MapQaTor
empowers researchers to seamlessly integrate with any map API in a plug-and-play manner, enabling them to gather,
visualize, and annotate geospatial data with minimal setup. By caching API responses, the platform ensures a consistent
ground truth, which enhances the reliability of the datasets, even as real-world information evolves over time.
In summary, we have made the following key contributions:
<br>
<ul>
<li>
We propose a novel framework, MapQaTor, first of its kind, which simplifies the creation of reproducible map-based QA
datasets and reduces reliance on manual data collection through its extensible architecture, enabling seamless
integration with any map API (e.g., Google Maps, Apple Maps, OpenStreetMap).
</li>
<li>
We provide visualization tools that facilitate better understanding and annotation of geospatial information.
</li>
<li>
We implement caching of API responses to ensure a consistent ground truth, enhancing the reliability of QA tasks over time.
</li>
<li>
We evaluate MapQaTor to estimate its usefulness and efficiency.
</li>
</ul>
