MapGuide running in mChatAI+ for macOS

What it does

An eight-tab sidebar over a MapKit map — Map, Route Planner, Saved Places, Nearby, Workouts, Tours, Route Chat, Settings — with saved places, discovered places and workout breadcrumbs all drawn on the same map.
Route Planner geocodes a start and destination, returns several route options with trade-off chips, and lets you set travel mode (walking, running, cycling, driving, transit), route type, "Avoid Tolls" and "Avoid Highways". The option you pick is saved to a list of recent routes.
Opening a saved or discovered place and pressing "Directions" draws a route line from your current location to it on the map.
"Nearby" searches around your location and lists results with the distance to each; right-clicking one offers "Save Place", "Open Website" and "Open Wikipedia".
Tours: "Start a Tour" takes a location, source toggles (Wikipedia, Apple Maps POIs), category filters and a stop count, pulls candidates from both sources and merges duplicates. Stops that came with a Wikipedia summary get a short narration written by a model. You then reorder, edit or add stops in the builder and read through them with "Test Play".
Tours publish to the Community Hub with an auto-generated map snapshot as the cover and can be unpublished again; "Browse Map Tours" installs tours other people published.
Workouts start from a button on the map, show live distance with Pause and Stop while running, and finished sessions land in a Workout History list with distance, duration and elevation gain.

Open the "MapGuide" tile from the "Tools" band on the home screen and allow location access when macOS asks.
Click "Tours" in the sidebar, then "Start a Tour" — pick a location, leave "Wikipedia" and "Apple Maps POIs" on, choose categories, and press "Continue".
In the tour builder, add stops with the search field or "Curate Stops Around Here", then press "Test Play" to step through each stop's narration.
Click "Route Planner", press "New Route", type a destination, press "Calculate Route", pick one of the options and press "Save Route".
