I just used Google maps for Bangladesh. Water is blue so I thought tropical, but at least 60 miles across so that ruled out the Caribbean and small Pacific islands. So I started looking for southern deltas north of Australia and eventually found it. Don't think I would have tried without the scale since it could have been very small and harder to find.

Nevada was similar. The image looked arid to me, so I thought it had to be one of the world's deserts. I started with the Western US and immediately recognized the pattern of mountain ranges. The scale also helped a lot there.
I don't know how UT got Paris Disney, but as I was loading it, I knew I would be able to get it quickly myself. It's clearly Europe, it's self contained in a ring, but isn't a city by itself, it has a HUGE parking lot, and it's clearly an amusement park all packed in tight at the North end. |

I started with theme/amusement parks, and realized that it had to be Europe since there was planted land right next to it and several roundabouts. I actually started with France and there aren't many amusement parks to check. When I noticed the first on the list, I thought, that's probably it.

Yeah. And addicting. There were 2 images where I used clues and was able to get within 100 meters, but I had to guess for the other 3, and averaged about 200 miles for those.

My parents sent me this picture they took today and asked "what is this"
I now ask you "where is this?" and to answer that, you probably need to figure out what it is first. Only hint I'll give you is that my parents are world travelers who are currently on the last leg of a trip. And I obscured a sign on that white building. |

Not Cuba. The key is the purpose of the building. Ask yourself what it is, and then you'll have something to Google.

I can't decide what to call the thing. A stair maze? Terra Cotta-colored stairs to nowhere?
Hawaii?

The building actually has a function. It does something.
