| contents | Geospatial reasoning requires models to resolve complex spatial semantics and user intent into precise target locations for Earth observation. Recent progress has liberated the reasoning path from manual curation, allowing models to generate their own inference chains. Yet a final dependency remains: they are still supervised by human-annotated ground-truth coordinates. This leaves the reasoning process autonomous, but not its spatial endpoint, and prevents true self-evolution on abundant unlabeled remote sensing data. To break this bottleneck, we introduce RemoteZero, a box-supervision-free framework for geospatial reasoning. RemoteZero is motivated by a simple asymmetry: an MLLM is typically better at verifying whether a region satisfies a query than at directly generating precise coordinates. Leveraging this stronger discriminative ability, RemoteZero replaces geometric supervision with intrinsic semantic verification and enables GRPO training without box annotations. The resulting framework further supports iterative self-evolution, allowing the model to improve from unlabeled remote sensing imagery through its own verification signal. Experiments show that RemoteZero achieves competitive performance against strong supervised methods, demonstrating the potential of self-verifying training for geospatial reasoning localization. |
