There's a whole community (with world tournaments [1]) around finding places from pictures: geoguessers. The top people are absolutely incredibly [2]. There are also AI trained for this purpose. Although, the perspective they use is usually from street level.

- Jordan-117 1y agoA few people recommended Geoguessr (and people like Rainbolt are definitely amazing), but yeah I reckon they're hyperspecialized on reading clues in actual street view imagery, not natural satellite footage like this.
