_Geofinder_ is inspired by such childhood games as _[Where's Waldo?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where%27s_Wally%3F)_ and _[Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmen_Sandiego)_. And the simple pleasures of looking out through vehicle windows and just gazing at the passing landscapes and cityscapes.

### Database

_Geofinder_ uses a Postgres database. Once provisioned, use your preferred DBMS to execute the queries in `database/sql.txt` to install PostGIS and to create the database's schema and tables. Then use `database/geofinderdata.csv` to populate the `locs` table.

Once the database is set up, register an initial user account using the web app. Then change the account's `status` to `admin` using your DMBS.
