Almost every region in Indonesia has a characteristic landmark that describes each area that has tremendous potential in form of lore and attraction. The tremendous potential of this must be backed up with a nice introduction.

The Game that was built has 30 landmark data sample regions in Indonesia. The game is based on Geographic Information System with the help of Google maps which also features geolocation that can be used to determine the location you want to tag based on latitude and longitude, and supported by a method of Haversine Formula.
