I think these kinds of pictures ‘underestimate’ models’ geographical knowledge. Just imagine having a human perform this task. The human may have very detailed geographical knowledge, may even be able to draw a map of the world from memory. This does not imply that they would be able to answer questions about latitude and longitude.
I think it does. Certainly the way that I would do it would be to create a world map from memory, then overlay the coordinate grid, then just answer by looking it up. You answers will be as good as your map is.
I believe that the LLMs most likely work from wikipedia articles—There are a lot of location pages with coordinates in wikipedia
Fun project.
