I do not know how to do it via query. In fact, I think it would be a hard problem.

However, since it is 10 minutes from a city a medical helicopter pilot or a recreational light aircraft pilot may recognize it. People are very good at recognizing patterns. I heard the SNCF, the French railway, uses RPAS to survey its network [1].

For example, I think I could probably recognize an area around a town where I live from an aerial image, since being an amateur RPAS pilot I saw it quite a lot from the air.

That is different from getting a photo of google maps attached in an email.

It is just a different kind of copyright.

Still, it seems nobody can give me a hint/direction how to solve my problem.

Still. I strongly advice you not to use it.

I did not make it. Some French estate agent did :-).

Nope, unfortunately it is clearly a screenshot taken from google maps.

Hi Jeroen,

when it was taken on a mobile, then you have a high likelihood that the picture 
has exif geo tags...
Do you think that this is the case?

Best

Betreff: [OSM-talk] Can somebody give me a hint please?

Hi,

This is a newbie question:
so I have an aerial photo of a part of central France but I don't know the 
exact location.
I know it is max 10 minutes from a city.
I want to find the place on the map.
My photo shows two roads in an angle.
Is there a way I can use to locate where this is?
Some sort of low level GIS query maybe?

Looking forward to your answers.

Kind regards,
Jeroen Baten
