GeoAzimuth France - Find the Hidden City by Compass Bearing
The Compass City Game
A hidden city sits in the middle of the compass. Every arrow points from it to a real city, at its true bearing.
Read the angles, name the city. Five tries, and every wrong guess becomes another arrow.

The hexagon makes bearings easy to picture: Paris sits in the north, Marseille and Nice on the Mediterranean, Brest at the western tip. Ajaccio and Bastia lie across the sea on Corsica, and the Master band digs into small prefectures like Foix, Rodez and Gap.
