How the clues point toward San Jose
The temperature clue puts the city in a plausible climate band for the day. The elevation clue tells you whether to think coastal, lowland, or highland. The population clue narrows the size of the place, while the landscape and airline clues add travel context that often separates a capital, beach city, mountain city, or regional hub from nearby alternatives.
If your guesses were close, distance and direction feedback are the real map tools. They tell you whether to move north or south, inland or coastal, warmer or cooler, higher or lower, until the world gets small enough to solve.
