The vegetation, specifically the eucalyptus trees and local shrubs, combined with the style of the metal fencing and the pavement, is characteristic of central Mexico. Specifically, the urban planning and layout resemble the park areas around the Ciudad Universitaria (UNAM) campus in Mexico City.

The image features a typical South American street view with trees and a dirt road. The presence of the ’Google’ watermark in the bottom corners is consistent with Google Street View imagery. The trees and road conditions are consistent with those found in Santiago, Chile. The specific coordinates are an educated guess based on the visual characteristics of the image.

This image shows a public square or plaza with characteristic South American landscaping, featuring tall birch and poplar trees common to Argentina. The urban layout, the style of street furniture, the paved plaza area, and the vegetation pattern are consistent with Buenos Aires, Argentina. The open plaza surrounded by mature trees and the overall architecture visible in the background suggest this is likely a public park or plaza in the La Plata area or greater Buenos Aires region. The Google Street View watermark and the general appearance of the landscape are typical of Argentine urban parks.

The image shows a suburban street with tall trees, dry grass/mulch ground cover, and what appears to be a fenced property. The vegetation type, road surface, and overall appearance are consistent with Johannesburg, South Africa - particularly the Highveld region. The dry conditions, specific tree species (including what appear to be eucalyptus and other common Joburg street trees), and the style of infrastructure suggest this is in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg, South Africa.

Semi-arid, highveld vegetation (thin, light-barked trees that look like poplars/eucalypts), dry grass and scattered shrubs, chain-link fence and visible playground equipment behind it — scene typical of a suburban school or park in South Africa. Road surface and patching style, plus overall vegetation and light, match the Pretoria/Gauteng region of South Africa, so I place the guess in northern Pretoria (around 25.7460°S, 28.2290°E).

The image shows a paved road or parking area with tall deciduous trees and chain-link fencing, suggesting a suburban or semi-urban environment in a temperate climate. The dry ground conditions and vegetation (possibly eucalyptus or similar tall trees) are consistent with a Mediterranean climate such as California, USA. However, the image lacks distinctive landmarks, street signs, license plates, or unique architectural features that would allow for precise geolocation. The coordinates provided represent a best guess for the Sacramento, California area based on vegetation patterns, but the exact location cannot be determined with certainty from this image alone.
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.
