Tell me your best scores and closest hits!
I was within nine kilometers of this place outside of Los Angeles
Guess the location. It's super addictive.

Obligatory xkcd
Maybe I'll give this a try sometime

Within 16km of this place in Italy.
Helps that I "spawned" right next to a sign that said "5 Vincenza"
And I still got it wrong.
Should've used the sun to get my bearings a little more.
At work. Can't play Geography game. God dammit. ;_; I love these kind of games. We used to play a game where you had to click where on Earth named cities were and I would rock at it.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!

My geography skills are smurfing horrendous, so much so that even while using Google to search signs I still end up thousands of kilometres out.I'm too impatient for this though, I find the nearest sign, google it, and then guess xD
Round 1: Clicked in Montana, because there were no buidlings, only road, dry planes, and a side dirt road.
Your guess was 1258.189 km from the correct location and gave 2103 points
Round 2: Could see a car driving in right lane, so North America somewhere. There was a river, a lot of forests, and high mountains. I guessed around Yellowstone National Park.
Your guess was 828.17 km from the correct location and gave 2246 points.
Round 3: Sings dictate it's not america as nothing is in english and the road signs are different. I'm not sure where else people drive on the right side of the road, but I see a lot of cross's, so Imma guess somewhere in Italy.
Your guess was 3267.307 km from the correct location and gave 1755 points. (Was actually Russia.)
Round 4: Seems I'm by the ocean now. Rather Rocky and no beaches, and I'm centered on this weird drive up road to a small stone building. I can see two cars parked there and an old guy looking out over the ocean. how sweat. Given the buildings are kind of stone and look like the mexican part of town in New Mexico (I just remember my friend calling it that while there. :P) so Imma say mexican coast... just outside Tepic is where my choice is made!
Your guess was 10760.973 km from the correct location and gave 387 points. (Little Island area just ouside the tip of italy's boot.)
Round 5: Signs and words seem to indicate it's in Russia again. Not likely to far north as there is no snow, not that I'm that big an expert on Russian weather patterns.
Your guess was 2872.955 km from the correct location and gave 1815 points. (It was in russia, just to far east.)
Score.jpg
Edit: Second go!
Second go!
Round 1: Puts me and a dirt road with no signs, vehicles, or any distinguishable features.... Nebraska?
Nope, Bostwana in smurfing Africa.
Round 2: On a beat down bridge over a river, I can see some non-english Graphitti in two spots, drivers in the right lane again, and the dude riding a motorbike I can make out is wearing an entire helmet over his Elbow, and is white. Let's try Italy again!
And it's in Brazil.
Round 3: Okay I cheated, I saw a sign that said Nass river and googled that trout.
Only 480KM off!
Round 4: No readable signs, road, trees, and a car in the distance. They are on the right side of the road again though! Try for that Nebraska one more time!
...South Africa outside of this Welkom place.
Round 5: Middle of Suberbs, cars on right side of the road, and a van that says security services. Most likely in america here. Bit dry looking, doesn't look like Cali or Idaho Suberbs, so lets try Utah!
And it's Torronto.
Eded at 3223 points that run!

12,000 points due to an epic San Antonio Guess: GeoGuessr - Let's explore the world!
Your guess was 5.545 km from the correct location and gave 6037 points.
My closest one
This is awesome. I'll never have to travel again.
1. On a road near "Ocean State Baptist Church". Rhode Island is the Ocean State. A little bit down the road is a sign for "Smithfield Golf". Smithfield, RI, then. Play around with the map for a bit, find my intersection.
Your guess was 0.02 km from the correct location and gave 6477 points.
2. A much less populated area. Pine foliage and state of the road indicate the American West, likely somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. Let's have a go somewhere in Colorado.
lol, British Columbia. Your guess was 2298.143 km from the correct location and gave 1903 points.
3. A dry area, barren dirt road. Foliage at first suggests the Rockies again, but clicking around a bit finds a sign with a very non-English name on it. But then other signs are in English and have North American signage. I can't imagine Google StreetView being available in a strange location in the middle of Asia. Maybe the name of that campground is a native Canadian thing (it seemed like Anglicized Russian at first). Let's try somewhere in REAAAAAAL northern Canada.
Your guess was 629.992 km from the correct location and gave 2348 points.
4. A narrow, paved road in some mountains in winter. Signs are NOT indicative of North America. Let's try Europe.
I guessed the Alps, it was Norway. Meh. Your guess was 1819.784 km from the correct location and gave 1984 points.
5. Flat, American farmland. There's a sign that says "Christian County". That doesn't narrow it down all that much, that could be anywhere in the Bible Belt. Let's just guess somewhere in Illinois (it seems kinda centralized).
Your guess was 114.313 km from the correct location and gave 3109 points.
You got 15821 points in total.
GeoGuessr - Let's explore the world!
I played around with this when I found it maybe a month ago or something. Closest I ever came to a spot was under a few meters away from a place in Peggy's Cove Nova Scotia.
Let the addiction begin again.
There are a lot of places in Canada with native names.Originally Posted by Denmark
Most of the world drives in the right lane, Neocracker. It's a bigger help if the picture shows them driving in the left.
Closest was 114.5 meters. Total points 9869.

10583. Closest was within 4 kms due to an obvious Hong Kong location. Two others were barren, empty roads in the middle of stretches of woods.
Australia smurfs me over. Like Raistlin, 4km for obvious Hong Kong.
I tried to stay away. I really did. But after dicking around EoFF for a little while, I had to come back. Stupid game.
The upshot is that I got a new closest hit. The thing plopped me right on an intersection in Newport, Rhode Island, complete with full view of street and highway signs. Within 0.004 km for 6479 points (total for the round: 14598).
