GeoGuessr - Get Lost

The premise is simple: you are randomly dropped somewhere on the earth, and you have to use Google street view to figure out where you are. I found this on Reddit and thought there would be plenty of people here who would enjoy it. It's surprisingly fun and addictive. What's your high score? Mine's 14,235. |

If you guys haven't signed up for the Google Maps beta-- DO IT NOW. It's incredible.

I just got in on the Google Maps beta and I've been playing around with it all day. Is anyone else as impressed as I am? The 3D view is incredible.

Here is my best effort to date. I don't consider it cheating, but I use Google maps to pin point my location just because the map in the game is too small. I don't use the search, street view or satellite function in Google Maps, I just look for roads, landmarks, etc. that I get from the street view in the game. Game finished! You got 29043 points in total. http://geoguessr.com/?v=eyJ0b3RhbFBv...NvcmUiOm51bGx9

I've played around with it. I like it for sure, but there are still a few things that are a little clunky for me that I hope they get worked out. Still, lots of promise.

I bow, 30,525. Though I got one within 3M, and another within 6M. Missed a rural intersection by 20K [they were identical in how they intersected and the US/HWY/Spur/etc numbers were all over the place. Cost me about 1500. The last one was a B-word, clear as day the rural SE US [pines and sandy red soil], but the road was tree-lined and meandering, but it turned out to be [well, you could tell right away it was] only tree-lined one tree deep. This let light in that washed out all disinguishing marks, and the mapper traversed every dirt road that spurred off. And there were all these decent [$200-250K for the area] homes back in those woods, but the sun washed everything out. Also, this had to have the record for 1 frame 100 yards away from a sign, next frame dead even on past on the backside. Turned out to be an ecological preserve outside Albany GA where they were testing erosion on the other side of the tree line. Got within 2Km. The backtracking mentally was as hard as the observing was. http://goo.gl/Bpt78

Had a round where I started off by getting within .005 KM in Rock Spring, Wyoming in round 1 before getting boned in the next three rounds. I got dropped in the middle of a beach where I wasn't allowed to move at all, a weird housing project in rural Russia, and a larger Russian town that didn't offer much in the way of clues beyond the fact that it was obviously in Russia.
Luckily I finished off the game by getting within like 10 KM on a highway in Brazil. |
