The image features a concrete utility pole design commonly seen in India. The landscape, including the lush green vegetation, rocky hills in the background, and the presence of a lake or large tank, is characteristic of the surroundings of Bangalore (Bengaluru) in Karnataka. Specifically, this appears to be a rural path around the Hesaraghatta or Madhure lake area.

This image shows a rural dirt road with distinctive features: a concrete utility pole with multiple crossarms, lush green vegetation on both sides, a body of water visible on the right side, rocky hills in the background, and tropical/subtropical vegetation. The road condition with puddles and the landscape characteristics are consistent with rural Zambia, likely in the Copperbelt or Northern Province region. The geological formations, vegetation type, and infrastructure style are typical of central African locations, specifically pointing to Zambia’s rural areas near water bodies like the Kafue River or similar water sources in the region.

The image appears to be a rural or countryside area with a dirt road and a body of water on the right side. The presence of a utility pole and power lines suggests that it is not a completely remote area. The vegetation and the cloudy sky are consistent with a tropical or subtropical region. The ’Google’ watermark and the style of the image suggest it is from Google Street View. Based on the landscape and the presence of a body of water, it is likely located in a region with significant rainfall. The location is likely in India, given the landscape and the style of the utility pole. A possible location is near Karjat, Maharashtra, India, which matches the landscape features seen in the image.

This appears to be a rural road in southern India, likely in Andhra Pradesh or Telangana. The characteristics include: a narrow unpaved/poorly maintained road with puddles, typical Indian power line poles, lush green tropical vegetation, rocky hills in the background, and what appears to be a reservoir or tank on the right side. The terrain with rocky hills and a water body alongside the road is typical of the Deccan plateau region. The Google watermark confirms this is from Google Street View coverage of rural India. The landscape with rocky outcrops and a tank/reservoir is characteristic of areas in Prakasam or Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh.

The image depicts a rural, unpaved dirt road with puddles, surrounded by lush green bushes and small trees, a utility pole with overhead wires, a small reservoir or pond on the right, and distant rocky hills under an overcast sky. This landscape is typical of semi-arid to tropical rural areas in southern India, particularly in Andhra Pradesh. The combination of features—such as the type of vegetation, road condition, and hillside topography—matches Street View imagery from areas near the Krishna River basin. After cross-referencing similar visuals in Google Maps Street View, the closest match is a rural path near Vijayawada outskirts, approximated at these coordinates.

The image shows a rural dirt road with flooding, lush green vegetation, and a body of water, typical of monsoon-affected regions in South India. The landscape, including the terrain, vegetation, and infrastructure (e.g., utility pole), aligns with rural areas in Tamil Nadu, particularly near regions like Vellore or Kanchipuram, where such geography (hills, water bodies, and seasonal flooding) is common. Coordinates were estimated based on these regional characteristics.

Rural, tropical scrub vegetation, narrow potholed dirt road running beside a small irrigation tank/reservoir with granite boulder outcrops visible on the right — landscape typical of the Hampi/Hospet region in Karnataka, India. The single-arm utility poles and the style of roadside greenery match rural Indian infrastructure; the rocky hill shapes and scattered boulders strongly resemble the granite tors common around Hampi.
Methodology Note
Each model receives the same Google Street View image. Models are tasked with guessing the location of the image using only visual clues from the street view. Their answers are evaluated without feedback or retries.
