Line 66:
* The ''[[All-Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku (OAV)|Nuku-Nuku OAV series]]'' explicitly takes place in the Nerima ward of Tokyo, and Nuku-Nuku's fight with Eimi climaxes at a local landmark, a field of massive natural gas storage tanks. (Oddly, this prominent landmark is prominently ''missing'' from ''[[Ranma ½]]'', another series which takes place in Nerima.)

* [[The Teraverse]]'s ''Sister Marie'' subseries (beginning with ''[http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-31699/CaptainBoulanger+It+s+Just+A+Habit.htm It's Just A Habit]'') is set in San Diego, California, particularly by referring to many specific buildings by name and details. However, the address given for the heroine's home address doesn't precisely exist (it's a skipped number on a real street).
* Seen multiple times just in the first chapter of ''[[Drunkard's Walk|Drunkard's Walk S: Heart of Steel]]''. Doug's apartment, the gym where he trains Usagi, a restaurant where he meets the Tsukino family, even a random 7-11 visited by Minako Aino -- all are real places and most get Google Maps coordinates in the story's concordance. The author has also tracked down real places which inspired canon locations in ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', such as the OSA-P Jewelry store, and provides locations and Google Maps links for ''them'' as well.

* With the amount of detail author Michael de Larrabeiti put into the Adventurers' travels in ''[[The Borribles]]'', the reader can follow almost every footstep they take above ground on Google Maps.
** It's possible to narrow down the location of Dewdrop's home to a ''specific block''.
** And sometimes even ''specific buildings'' can be identified, such as Spiff's house. See the Flickr streams on the [[The Borribles/Image Links|Image Links]] subpage for ''The Borribles''.
