It is very similar in concept with Pursued.
http://www.notdoppler.com/pursued.phpUsing Google Streetview, you have to guess the name of the cities you are stranded in. It is getting progressively difficult. Especially the last one.
One of the best way to find out: look for shop sign, some business will put address under their banner name (and sometimes contact info).
Some international hotel chains fly the national flag of the country. Guessing the country's capital or largest city is a good start.
If you are stranded in the middle of nowhere, like the last level of Pursued, but all you can see is suburban homes flying American flags, with American SUVs/pick ups parked, and mountainous region. Look further, there must be Wal Marts or big discount warehouses that sometimes features a big phone number + area code. I googled that area code and found out the place.
