Since we're having Geography Days on the forums apparently, you may want to try this. It's fun.

My current highscore:



Yep, that's 28743 points. Glhf beating that.

Disgusting..

Aw, man!

I was hoping to share the link after the first "Geo-Guesser" game was introduced here, it's way more demographic(s)-based than just points on a map. Really fun.

challenge accepted.

I got 7958 on my first try, you guys are sick. I only got that much, beause I was able to recognise crappy polish roads :)

I've played this game some time ago, and I had over 20 000 easy. The key is to follow road until you go to town name sign, and google the town. Also some hotels names, street names are useful.

Problem is, when you're in the middle of Australia, when there is like 1000 clicks to nearest building :)


EDIT: Ok, now I'm in Japan. Hmm how do you google Japan sign ?:P

reminds me of this comic http://xkcd.com/1214/

http://www.mapcrunch.com/ is also interesting for walking through random cities in streetview.

Oh, I did not move from starting location :)

dirt road, somewhere russian, paved road, paved road, chinese theme park*, dirt road, paved road, somewhere russian, bavarians having a picnic, dirt road

*oh, it's actually a japanese history trail

didn't realise you could move around at first. kind of makes it shitty because you can get a perfect score just by being diligent/taking an hour for each location.

with a hour for each location you don't want to get in middle of nowhere called Australia or maybe even Canada and based on the picture from gnull he had a pretty easy Canada near the big city's

Yeah, thing is I got stuck in some wasteland and my browser crashed just from clicking furiously to find something populated. I ended up finding a truck that wasn't censored and googled the company, only to find that it was an international company and I was a couple continents off..

31148

took approx. 1 hour

A: bolling lake, kragelundvej, denmark. refreshed until i got a (fairly) easy one to start.

B: east of Santa María Poniente, Mexico.

the middle of absolute fucking nowhere and i went through about 3 villages that didnt have any signs. some fucking y tu mama tambien war on drugs shit. was going around for ages and then got fairly lucky with my eventual guess.

C: highway just north of Bessey Ranger District, Nebraska. fucking hell. too deep into this to quit now.

D: Alaska Highway, Yukon. 6 miles northeast of Swift River. holy fuck.

E: Hermitage, Newfoundland. Right next to a few signs so easiest of the lot.

Canada's sign game is well above america's. america is the mexico to canada's america. well done canada.

thinking about it, i'm actually lucky to have got north america instead of brazil or australia which are a lot worse.

Looking at everyone else's scores, I didn't do very well.

I got 8821 as my hi score

thats why..... i was like how do you guys guess so freaking well.....you guys are all searching the road signs or names on google for help....... thats the reason why you all get such high scores....but i thought this is geo"guessr" not geo"finder"

hate the game, not the player
