Questions people ask

Do I need to know exact coordinates?

No. Scoring rewards closeness. A reasonable regional guess still earns points even if the exact city is missed.

What kinds of scenes work best?

Buildings, city views, bridges, monuments, construction, openings, conflicts, and landscapes tend to be more guessable than isolated artifacts.

Can I report a wrong map location?

Yes. Use the feedback page and choose the scene or content category so the message appears in the admin inbox.
