The Central American isthmus in the foreground?
No, wait. Southern Italy.

Yep, Greece/the Balkans in the background, the "foot" of Italy in the foreground.

pretty good, faster than i found it.

Did anybody else try to use the coordinates at the bottom of the pic?
Got me off the west coast of Africa where there was no land mass to compare with that shown.
Must have been put there by some Air Force intelligence officer. :P
stay safe.

Didn't see 'em, but they don't look much like coordinates to me. Then again, it's been many a year since I dabbled in that field.

Probably put there by Google maps, just for the Nicaraguan army.

that may have been the position of the shuttle when the photo was taken, looking east.

Looks like that pac-man critter in the lower left might try to eat the ISS :O
