The red dirt road, the specific type of tall grass or crops (likely maize or sorghum), and the T-shaped utility poles are characteristic of rural areas in Northern Nigeria. The lush green vegetation combined with the cloud formation suggests a tropical savanna climate during or shortly after the rainy season.

Score: 1991

Distance: 1842km

Lat: -13.5

Lng: 28.3


This image shows a distinctive red/brown dirt road with lush green vegetation on both sides, typical of the African savanna region. The soil color, vegetation type, utility pole style, and overall landscape characteristics are consistent with Central Africa, particularly Zambia. The red laterite soil is characteristic of this region, and the vegetation pattern suggests a rural area during the rainy season. The infrastructure and landscape features point to southern Zambia or northern Botswana area.

Lng: -1.6167


Lateritic red dirt road, tall maize-like crops and scattered savanna trees, and narrow concrete utility poles with single crossarms — all typical of rural West Africa. Vegetation and cloud patterns suggest a humid tropical savanna (southern Ghana). Google has extensive rural coverage around Kumasi (Ashanti Region) which matches the road type and landscape, so I place the image near Kumasi, Ghana (approx. 6.7000, -1.6167).

Score: 43

Distance: 9502km

Lat: -22.816667

Lng: -47.066667


The image shows a dirt road with tall crops on the left side and lush green grass on the right, under a partly cloudy sky. The presence of tall crops, likely sugarcane, and the dirt road are characteristic of rural areas in certain regions. The ’2019 Google’ watermark suggests the image is from Google Street View. The climate and vegetation are consistent with parts of Brazil, particularly the state of São Paulo, known for its agricultural lands and dirt roads. The coordinates (-22.816667, -47.066667) point to a location in São Paulo, Brazil, which matches the observed features.

Distance: 191km

Lat: -0.7167

Lng: 36.4333


The image shows a rural dirt road with distinctive red/orange laterite soil, lush green vegetation including tall crops (likely maize) on the left, scattered acacia-like trees, and wooden utility poles with multiple cross-arms. These features are characteristic of East African savanna landscapes, particularly in Kenya. The road condition, vegetation density, and infrastructure style match rural areas in the Rift Valley region of Kenya, near towns like Naivasha or Nakuru. The partly cloudy sky and bright tropical lighting also support a location near the equator at moderate elevation. The specific combination of maize cultivation, red soil, and power infrastructure is common in Kenyan countryside areas that have Street View coverage.


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.
