I built an AI tutor to learn GeoGuessr-style visual geography (not a solver)

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.
