What makes Groningen readable
The Martinitoren dominates the Groningen skyline and is visible from much of the city centre, which gives a powerful anchor point. The city also has a pronounced student character: bicycles throughout the street scene, narrow streets around the Grote Markt, and a compact historic core clearly distinct from the surrounding villages.

Frequently asked about Groningen
Where is this place in Groningen?
Upload the photo and GeoPin compares it against 130,000 indexed street images from Groningen. You get back the coordinates, the address and the postcode of the most likely spot, together with the reference images the match is based on so you can check it yourself. No GPS data in the file is needed.
How do I find where a photo in Groningen was taken?
Start by checking whether the file still holds EXIF location data, which takes seconds. Messaging apps and social platforms strip it, so it usually will not. When it is gone, the content of the photo is what remains: GeoPin reads that content and matches it against street imagery of Groningen rather than relying on metadata.
How many street images does GeoPin have of Groningen?
130,000 indexed images, covering 84 square kilometres, which works out at roughly 95 percent of the built-up area of Groningen. Density is highest along public roads, since that is where the source imagery was captured.
Which neighbourhoods in Groningen are covered?
Coverage spans the whole municipality rather than a selection of districts. That includes Binnenstad & Grote Markt, Paddepoel & Selwerd, Helpman & De Wijert, Zernike Campus and Vinkhuizen & Beijum, and the residential streets and industrial estates in between, which is exactly where a landmark-based tool tends to fail.
How accurate is GeoPin in Groningen?
On a distinctive street with a clear view of the facades, the match usually lands within a few metres. Accuracy drops where the surroundings repeat themselves, such as uniform new-build estates or an unbroken row of identical frontages, and in those cases the result comes back as a wider area rather than a single point.
Can I locate photos from around Groningen as well?
Yes. GeoPin covers the whole of the Netherlands, so photos from the surrounding municipalities work too. See the Groningen page for what coverage in the wider province looks like.
