While playing GeoGuessr, I noticed that most tools fall into two extremes:
they either give you the answer instantly or they’re straight-up cheats.
I wanted something different, so I built GeoCoach — an educational Chrome extension that acts more like a tutor than a solver.
Instead of telling you the country, it analyzes the Street View scene and explains why a location is likely: vegetation, road markings, architecture, utility poles, license plates, etc. The idea is to train pattern recognition over time, not to shortcut the game.
A few intentional constraints:
- Spoiler-free by default (no country names unless you ask)
- Designed for learning in single-player or unranked modes
- Local-only API keys, no servers, no tracking
- Open source (MIT)
It’s still early, but usable.
If you enjoy GeoGuessr for learning geography — or you’re interested in AI-assisted educational tools built on top of games — I’d love feedback.
