How can your doodles be translated to natural lines on the planet?

We all doodle. It happens everywhere from college lectures to meetings that could’ve been a simple email. Through Google’s latest Chrome tool, Land Lines, users can trace their finger or click and draw a line and Google will overlay a satellite image to match the doodle line. 



The tool gives you two options: The draw mode matches strokes of your finger with satellite images that match every squiggle, while the drag mode enables users to create an infinite line of connected rivers, highways and coastlines.

By “using a combination of machine learning, optimized algorithms and graphics card power, the experiment is able to run efficiently on your phone’s Web browser without a need for backend servers,”  according to the website.

The tool appears to work seamlessly on Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox and Edge browsers, but appears not to work in Internet Explorer.
