A quick look at the 116 places you can be asked to find on the map, before you play.
GuessTheDot is a free geography guessing game: you get a place name and a map full of dots, then click the one you think is right.
This country uses one category for all playable places, rather than separate city and village categories. Practice recognizing settlements by their position on the map.
In Iceland this set is spread across 8 different regions, with Westfjords home to the most of them (21).
Population figures are shown where available. A dash means the population is unknown; those places are still included in the game. Population statistics use only known figures.
