Azimuth: Italy - 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. Seven tries, and every wrong guess becomes another arrow.
About Azimuth: Italy
The boot runs from north-west to south-east, so arrows along the peninsula mostly point one of those two ways. Sicily and Sardinia add cities across the water, like Palermo and Cagliari, and the hardest bands hide tiny coastal villages such as Positano and Vernazza.
