That's true for heavily photographed urban areas. I've tried it on some desert photos (even at identifiable points with human structures) and it basically just guesses a random trailhead in Joshua Tree and makes up a BS explanation for why it matches.

I have had surprisingly good luck with beach photos that don’t have much beyond dunes and vegetation in them

For cities and landscapes in the US it is scary good. I tried about twenty photos from (mostly rural) Central and South America and it is much less effective there w/o a well-known landmark to go off of (likely unsurprisingly). In four cases it got the wrong continent entirely, and in one case guessed as far away as India.
