The GeoJSON Map Viewer was developed to display local political boundaries and export maps as PNG images. It was built through iterative development involving GPT-5.6-Sol, Claude Code, and Fable 5.1.

The tool can generate GeoJSON files for specific boundaries, such as the El Granada GCSD and Midcoast Community Council, by extracting data from government sources. It simplifies the process of visualizing geospatial data.

This development is relevant for engineers managing geospatial models or agents that require accurate boundary data and visualization capabilities. It demonstrates AI-assisted data collection and tool creation for geospatial applications.
