Geolocate and chronolocate a photo or video from visual evidence alone — plate and phone number formats, road markings, utility poles, bollards, signage typefaces, architecture and vegetation for place; shadow direction and length with SunCalc for time and date. Use when asked where or when a picture was taken, to verify a claimed location without GPS or EXIF, or to match a scene against Google Earth, Street View, Yandex Panoramas, Mapillary or KartaView. Applies to GEOINT and conflict monitoring, insurance and claims verification, journalism fact-checking, and evidence review. Reference at useosint.com/skills/geolocate-from-pixels.

Every photograph taken outdoors contains enough information to place it. The
constraint is never the image; it is your patience and your reference knowledge.

The beginner mistake is searching before inventorying. People see a mountain,
