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

}'
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
