About boydsmaps/search
The app, including the high performance database engine, is powered by Boyd's proprietary javascript code, built with the assistance of google gemini. Although AI was used to generate code, it was not used to write the documentation, create the maps, database, icons or other design elements. The curated database was built by Boyd specifically for the app and includes data from the sources below.
