I read all the process, literally awesome, i don't do OSINT (i know only what is this) and i think that's very cool

yassa9•34m ago

thaaank you !! Its my first ever challenge to do, and yea, I really found my passion

piterrro•30m ago

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

yassa9•12m ago

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 coordinated 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

OpenStreetMap data really is a godsend for such OSINT purposes. Works much better in populated areas too, with more features like roads, shops, electric lines that can be used to search.
