OSINT Radar

Locate a Place

Master OSINT geolocation investigations with a step-by-step workflow. Use maps, cell data, transport, and satellite tools to identify places, corroborate evidence, and preserve findings for accurate results.

Anchor the place with map and cell data first, then pivot into transport, infrastructure, and imagery for confirmation.

Investigation Framework

Step 1
Inventory visual clues

List signs, language, road layout, vegetation, architecture, utilities, vehicles, and businesses.

Step 2
Narrow the region

Use the clues to constrain country, region, and likely environment before map searching.

Step 3
Search satellite and street imagery

Grid-search candidate areas and compare road layouts, rooflines, landmarks, and terrain.

Step 4
Confirm with independent sources

Treat the location as confirmed only when multiple independent features align.
