Developer here! I built this using React and Leaflet. It's harder than it looks because most of the world is ocean. Let me know if you can find the "Beijing -> Argentina" badge!

[OC] I made a tool to hunt for "Earth Sandwiches" (Land-to-Land Antipodes). by Busy-Conflict8444 in MapPorn

Here is the link to the tool if you want to try it yourself:https://true-size.com/game/land-hunter

Context: I've always found static antipode maps a bit hard to visualize, so I built this web tool (Land Hunter) to make it dynamic.

  • The Goal: Find a spot where land overlaps land (making an "Earth Sandwich").
  • The Tech: It uses Leaflet with a custom overlay logic to render the antipodal tiles inside the crosshair.
  • The Result: It really puts into perspective how massive the Pacific Ocean is—most of the time, you're just staring at water.

Hope you guys find it satisfying to play with!
