For a class in my PhD program, I created a wholly AI generated map. On Feb 14, 2026, I gave Claude GPX file from a bike ride I had previously completed and the following prompt:
“I am a public history scholar. I have attached GPX file from a bike ride through Augusta, GA, that visits several historical monuments. Can you write the code for a standalone, responsive HTML/JavaScript map using Leaflet.js?
Please include:
- A blue line representing the bike route (I will provide the coordinates).
- Interactive markers highlighting what you determine to be important sites of historical memory near the route, focusing on civil war/lost cause memory.
- A legend that identifies these sites.
Please provide the full, single-file code that I can upload to a wodpress/personal site”
These are its results.
