29187 - and two were in Russia.

Those are some pretty good scores. I just played it again and got this Japanese island that was around 1000 km southeast of the main islands. I'm glad I didn't spend 15 minutes on it because I never would've figured it out. It was in the general area of Iwo Jima.

I have no ****ing clue what to do when I get shit with signs in cyrillic. I'm pretty much guessing if it's a large or small city in Russia. Throwing a dart at a ****ing board, pretty much.

The Russian ones were quite vexing, because there were a SHIT TON on landmarks, but everything was Cyrillic.

The first was a stone's throw from this

And google image search 'Kazan Russia' for a lot of unique, but totally unknown to me, nearby architecture.



The last one was in the upper right of this picture

The US ones, OTOH, were in the middle of BFE with nothing around. I went like 20 miles south to BARELY make out a reference to Rio Grande Village, first identifiable landmark. Then I went another 15 or so miles west in the other to find I-25, then had to scour I-25 for a while to find the referent intersection.

Damn. Just got 14,000. Not travelling to find road signs or landmarks is really hard.

Hahahaha, yesssssss. I did it without moving around at all. http://www.geoguessr.com/?v=eyJ0b3Rh...ZSI6bnVsbH0%3D

I got 20,000 based on two LUCKY guesses in Mexico and eastern Europe, one significant clue in the Brazil location, and (best of all) a scene I actually know in downtown Jackson, MS.

I wonder what's with all the landmarks in Canada? And Japan too, really.

I understand that the geographically large countries are going to get more opportunities than others, but then I don't understand why China doesn't have a bunch of landmarks. That's a pretty shitmassive country too.

Go to Google Maps and try to enter street view in China. There's no data there at all.

(knowing what nations have Google Maps street view data and which don't is a lifesaver when it comes to this game)

21445 good game i love being a det. and figuring out where i was.

I had one where I was literally out in a field. I couldn't move anywhere, except to rotate. From one perspective, you could literally see that it was a guy standing out in the middle of nowhere with a camera due to his shadow.

Sometimes you get bad luck and it puts you in some remote place that you really have no chance of getting. Other times, it's quite easy and you can track down the place you are at by name on the big map.


I got 18.2k on this one.

I had that too. It was a 360 photo of a guy standing in what looked like a snowy sports field of a high school or small college. I guessed Michigan. It was Ukraine.

Over 30K

The last one was ROFL - Standing in front a big marquee for the Say When Casino. Marked me as 3M as is meters from the correct spot.

I had one that was the interior of a parking garage with snow on the ground. No readable signs. Couldn't go anywhere, just turn around.

Turns out it was located in northern Kazakhstan. Like I was going to guess that.
