Guess the location. It's super addictive.

[CimminyCricket]

Just beat my previous low score record. I thought Canada, it was Australia. 54 points for being over 16k km away.


Edit: My location gave me city, state and street. I was .001 kilometers away. Beat that EoFF!

[Denmark]

if someone gets 20k km away they should get max points since that is as far away as you can be

[Mirage]

I also suddenly got put in a location with... no roads. I couldn't move in any direction.

[Rebellious Eagle]

I got over 14000 points this time since one picture gave me the name of the town and another picture had a building with Russian letters on it...

[Mirage]

Whenever i russian letters i just click somewhere close to the middle of the european part of russia. I have no way of telling where in russia it is, or if it is in some ex-soviet state.

Yeah, the issue is Russia is so big, I clicked on one end of the country and it was all the way on the other side near Japan -_-

[Slothy]

There's a Miami in Manitoba? Who knew?

[Denmark]

16478 points. 2 really really good guesses (0.009km and 0.219km), 2 really really bad guesses (guessed Scotland when it was South Africa, guessed South Africa when it was Australia), and one decent guess (guessed Kansas when it was in Nebraska)

edit: just got 19248 with help from google for some really specific ones. gotta break 20k

[sharkythesharkdogg]

I tried once, and got 10,616 points. I got a spot in Italy only 45 km from the actual spot, followed by a place in Australia that I thought was Kansas. The only thing I had to go on was a pixelated sign that looked like a U.S. children at play sign.

[Sir Lancealot]

Got 12600, even though I thought some dirt from Brazil was in Ethiopia.

[Laddy]

10808.

Btw, Southern Africa and Australia are the same smurfing place. I swear.

[Jiro]

Australia is easy enough for a native to identify, but the whole smurfing country looks about the same.

[Pumpkin]

I got over 6000 the first time because I suck at this game, and 10 100 or something like that the second time.

[Raistlin]

So settling back in for the night, I couldn't help but try my hand again a few more times. I was wrong that I would never find an easier one than the Newport, RI scene. I could instead be placed smack dab next to an ambulance that says in large, clear letters: “San Diego Medical Services.” 0.036 km.

This turned out to be by far the easiest round yet, with my new personal high score. I didn’t realize until the end it was going to get so high or I would’ve kept better notes.

Another one: Coming across a bridge, by a clearly US speed limit and other road signs. Looks like Northern/Midwest. I zoom in on a green road sign that seems to say “Marsing.” No smurfing clue. I see another sign farther off in the other direction that looks like “Boise.” Aha! I find Boise, ID on the map and snoop around bodies of water for a minute, and find a “Marsing” road that goes across water to the west. 0.12 km.

Ironically, one of my worst ones that round I thought was going to be another easy one, at least for a few thousand points. I was set down right next to a building with a Norwegian flag flying out front, on a snowy road surrounded by snowy rocks and not much else. I figure buttsmurf nowhere, northern Norway. Turns out it was on some island 1,000 miles away in the ocean.

The other two were in Poland and Mexico, and I recognized the language on some of the signs and managed to get within a few hundred miles with some safe and fortunate guesses.

New high score: 20413. (of course, 13000 of those were from two unusually easy ones I was able to pinpoint precisely). I was fortunate enough for all 5 scenes to be near civilization, instead of one of the ubiquitous “road in the middle of nowhere” scenes.

For comparisons sake, I hadn't even managed to crack 15000 before that one.

Is it even possible to beat that? I haven't seen anything more accurate than thousandths.

[CimminyCricket]

I hate the roads in the middle of no where. It's the worst!
