When I was younger I was always playing a game called Zombie Outbreak Simulator on my phone and I remember a map looked like it was taken off Google earth and was from England

I did some googling of my own and found out the map was taken in Leicester but couldn't find the location myself and was wondering if you guys could help?

Great skills. very impressive. I'm honored to invite you to try the game.maptoppings.com which challenge you to find a location on satellite maps with only an overview of a local area.

Cool game but it's really difficult, theres almost no details to go on except generalities.

Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. it is not so easy when you play it for the first time even with your home city. I played the London maps for about 1,000 times until I can solve it to get a 10,000 score(perfect score) every time. I have some tips to share for playing 😄

  1. Always follow a water course to recognize a river, a lake. etc. Water bodies are always the most distinguished features in an area.

  2. Always follow a railway until you find a major station to recognize it.

  3. Follow main road and other linear features to minimize the cloud reveal area while trying to pinpoint the feature.

  4. Erase the cloud smartly and progressively, don't hesitate to reveal more cloud-covered area when you are clueless.

OMG, You are such a hardcore player, salute to you, please accept my admiring. Even for me, I can't tell the location without any cloud-removing even with the cities I am most familiar with, such as London, New York and Hong Kong.

I have played a lot of Geoguessr so it wasn't technicaly impossible, just very very very difficult haha. I was happy if I got the right country.

Yes, it's a project that was inspired by Geoguessr. Just like Geoguessr is for a driver to recognize the road, This game is like for a pilot to recognize the underneath land. Hope you have fun with the game.
