🇧🇷 São Luís, Brazil
São Luís is a major city of Brazil. Real-Earth coordinates -2.514°, -44.268°, population 1,038,000.

Skydex flies the real Earth here — the elevation, coastline and city layout under the aircraft come from the same data the map does, and the sky is shared with everyone else flying it.
