Have a go at the Google Maps Quiz. You are shown a satellite image of somewhere in the world and your job is to click where you think it is on the map. Sometimes you just see a spot in the middle of the ocean somewhere, which comes down pretty much to taking a wild guess. Other times you can figure it out using geographical landmarks like distinctive coastline shapes or large lakes, etc. The screenshot above was from my closest hit, only 27 miles off. The ones I'm not so proud of were more like six, seven thousand or more miles off.
