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

Source: Dev.to

Motivation

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.

Introducing GeoCoach

GeoCoach is 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.

Key Features

• Spoiler‑free by default – no country names are shown unless you ask.
• Designed for learning – works in single‑player or unranked modes.
• Local‑only – API keys are stored locally; no servers, no tracking.
• Open source – released under the MIT license.

Current Status

It’s still early, but usable.

Call for Feedback

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.
