I'm positive that one is on the African continent. So many of the waterways have that same mint-green texture & pattern. Just haven't found it yet, but I'm fixin to give up for the night. :)

Oh, wait, maybe that's not it. Ah, bugger.

He's using google maps to find it, which is fine, works similar to earth.  From what I can see, the 2mi scale come out to be about 42 miles eye alt on Google earth.  I use both when I'm looking, each has it's own advantage.

Close like it's on the African Continent? Or close like it's on the correct side of the world? Or close like it's on the correct side of the equator????   :D

Thought it was mountains at first, but looks more like a place that gets lots of rain, but rather flat.  It is in Africa.
