Find the spot a photo was taken from. Mark a few points you can recognise both on the picture and on the map — the more points and the more precise, the better the result.
Choose a photo, then click recognisable points. Click to add, right-click to remove, drag to fine-tune.
Place the same points — 'A' on the map must be the same place as 'A' on the picture. Click to add, right-click to remove, drag to adjust.

Worried about privacy? Only the coordinates of the points — on the picture (x, y) and on the map (latitude, longitude) — are sent to the server. The picture itself never leaves your browser.
This is an open-source toy project. The server that computes the location exposes a JSON API you can call directly. This tool comes with no guarantee.
