really impressive, could that be the way to locate yourself without GPS? assuming we know more/less where we are

yea, search about geoguessing on youtube, people like Rainbolt, https://www.youtube.com/@georainbolt

they literally memorize and get patterns of every possible road, place, map of any area (scanned by google earth), getting exact coordinates from single image, and play competitions and world cup based on that

they do really nice videos about finding places in old photos people ask for
