Seen on Maps Mania: How Well Do You Know the World?
Honestly, Guess Where? is just dumb and not useful in any way: recognizing a capital city based on a Google Maps close-up is just silly and has nothing to do with geographic knowledge or insights. This is in-essence the 21st-century version of memorizing river names and has nothing to do with what we think of as the 'geographic perspective'. At least show the satellite image and scale bar - that way you can begin to use deductive reasoning and practice 'thinking like a geographer'.
