The hiking costing moves to shared, so the planner and the server ask the
router the same way. The road trip router learns to plan a hike on foot
with that costing (Valhalla only: OSRM knows no trail difficulty), to read
heights along a line in chunks and to read the OSM ways a line follows,
all through its one paced queue. A hike router builds on it: the way, its
heights, distance, climb and DIN walking time, and the SAC grades of its
stretches from the trail grade service, each part best effort.
New MCP tools in HikePlanMcp, in the assistant's tours group:
- propose_hike plans a hike without saving it.
- create_hike saves a confirmed hike through the planner's own creation;
a router that does not answer leaves it pending for the planner, a way
that cannot be planned is refused and nothing is saved.
- update_tour changes a saved hike against its revision, keeping linked
stations and refusing what would silently drop drawn legs or stages.
- import_tour_gpx takes a GPX file's text in as tours, like the import.
Same permission checks as REST, broadcasts from the services.
In the assistant a new hike or city walk is an "Add tour" card with its
route and difficulty, undone through delete_place while the tour is
untouched, and a hike being planned shows as a live step.
Adds an in-app assistant that reads and plans the open trip. Users connect
their own provider (Sign in with ChatGPT, or an Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini or
OpenRouter key) or use the one the admin set up, including a custom
OpenAI-compatible server. It is an addon and only shows while a connection
is usable.
The chat runs on the existing MCP tools, pinned to the trip. Every change is
held as a change card the user applies or discards, and applied changes can
be undone. On the desktop it is a floating window that can be moved and
resized; on the phone it is fullscreen. Search results show as place cards
that can go onto a day, weather lookups as a strip, proposed places as
ghost markers on the map with a before/after switch, and an answer can be
shared into the trip chat. Booking files can be dropped in and are read
into change cards.
