GeoGuessr - Get Lost

[Huffmeister]

www.geoguessr.com

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.

[Baby Lee]

Motherfucker!! Of all things, I got a scene where it was LITERALLY nothing but an empty stretch of semi-treelined 2 lane blacktop. Horizon to horizon with no buildings, intersections, hills or anything. But it reminded me of some drives I've had to make in Mid-south Rural Illinois.

Turns out it was just north of Springfield. Off by 80-odd miles.

Sheer coincidence.

Lest some might suspect me to be humble bragging, I was WAY off in my other forays. Put a scene from middle Canada in Louisiana, and a scene on an island off the coast of Moracco in Brazil.

[Munson]

Very addicting.

So far my best score is 14,030.

I got one of those, except mine was northern minnesota

[ReynardMuldrake]

These Canadian ones are killing me.

[TambaBerry]

I just got one on some little tiny island around taiwan. it put me on this really long bridge that took forever to get to anything remotely close lol

[Bob Dole]

Bob Dole is pretty decent at getting close to the correct latitude. Beyond that, though...

[Rain Man]

This is awesome.

11,033 on my first run. I ended up with two locations in southern Brazil that hurt, but I pretty much nailed one in southern China.

[Rain Man]

16,556. Beat that, anyone.

I'll admit that I got really lucky on one of them. It dumped me in Milwaukee right in front of the Milwaukee public market. But the others were all pretty hard, and that last one in Norway was really tough. I was sure I was in California or maybe Oregon until I finally saw a road sign that looked odd.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Some of these roads need more road signs, dammit. I've must have gone miles on this one road

[Baby Lee]

15,584 - Got one within 3.8 Km. All in the right country/state.

Hardest was somewhere INDOORS, it was like a a corridor of a museum that was under construction, all writing visible was in what turned out to be Japanese. I picked the wrong part of Japan, but it was in Japan.

Lost on another b/c one clue suggested SK, Canada, and another strongly suggested Montreal, I went with the latter to mal results.

16,806.

I got lucky though. It gave me the entrance to the Valley of Fire. I knew where it was to within 2 km.

[hometeam]

Looking for clues makes it easier~

Just guessed 2 km away from the spot in Fairbanks AK :/ That alone was worth 6300 points. Still only ended up with about 12k and that's my highest one yet :(

Three of my places were in Canada, which I could recognize. I always plotted down in southernish Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and it turns out they were all in the far north of those provinces. Threw me off completely.

Fun game. I'm terrible at it so far though. I'm not really traveling very far along the roads and just trying to wing it though. Most impressive thing I've done is one time it dropped me in a rural field full of sheep. I went a couple miles up and the road and blindly guessed somewhere in Denmark and was right... at least a couple hundred km away.

I had no idea where the hell I was on that last one. Couldn't even guess the continent.

[ReynardMuldrake]

Nice guess on northern Brazil. What made you think north instead of south?

I found a sign on a tourist shop and hunted the map until I found the town name.

[ReynardMuldrake]

Also, if you see any billboards with a web address, the domain suffix can be a dead giveaway.

[Baby Lee]

25911 Biznitches. First one, I got within .5 Km, but then it took forever to a) confirm, and b) refine my suspicions that I was on the effing Alaska Pipeline Highway. There is nothing but dirty snowy pavement going on forever and Peterbilts every 5 miles or so up there. NOTHING!! Even when I knew almost exactly where I was, the map didn't have enough detail to let me pick it precisely, ended up 80 Km off, by far my biggest error.

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.

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

http://religiousarchitecture.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/3519180913_a42af385431.jpg

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

http://khongthe.com/wallpapers/architecture/yekaterinburg-russia-237029.jpg

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.

[Reaper16]

I'm trying to break 15,000 without moving the street view along the road ever. It's not going well.

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

[Simply Red]

Mother****er!! Of all things, I got a scene where it was LITERALLY nothing but an empty stretch of semi-treelined 2 lane blacktop. Horizon to horizon with no buildings, intersections, hills or anything. But it reminded me of some drives I've had to make in Mid-south Rural Illinois.

Turns out it was just north of Springfield. Off by 80-odd miles.

Sheer coincidence.

Lest some might suspect me to be humble bragging, I was WAY off in my other forays. Put a scene from middle Canada in Louisiana, and a scene on an island off the coast of Moracco in Brazil.

I hammered Brazil twice, trouble is - it's enormous, so it's not some secret, hidden talent - or anything.

[RealSNR]

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)

[big nasty kcnut]

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

[Pitt Gorilla]

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.

[Start Croyle]

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 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.

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.

Yes, Id say people are cheating-- myself included. Any raw score in the 15k range is definitely more impressive.

[Reaper16]

Y'all should play on hard mode with me. You can't move the location at all (but you are allowed to Google anything you can see or zoom in on from your fixed starting spot. 15,000 scores on "hard mode" feel so good.

[Rain Man]

We should have three different leagues:

1. Anything goes. Use google or whatever.

2. Don't move, but use google or whatever.

3. Walk around all you want, but you can't use any resources other than your own knowledge. (I prefer this one myself.)

I guess there's a fourth option where we don't move, and rely on your own knowledge, but I haven't seen anyone use that yet.

I guess there's a fourth option where we don't move, and rely on your own knowledge, but I haven't seen anyone use that yet.

A possible 4th option would be to walk around all you want, and use the built in map for clues. There have been a couple of times where I ran across a highway sign with a town name and highway number. The name would sound like it belonged somewhere (like Mexico), so I would zoom in on the suspected country and look for the highway number. That's the way I've been playing.

I usually live and let live, but I have to speak up here.

You people who are using the maps and using google are leaving yourselves woefully unprepared in the event of spontaneous teletransportation. If you get spontaneously teletransported to a random spot on the globe, you aren't going to have the map to help you. You may not have your phone, and even if you did it probably wouldn't work due to the large-scale natural electromagnetics involved in spontaneous teletransportation. You're going to land somewhere, and it's going to be up to you to figure out where you're at, using only what's in your head. Using google and maps and stuff in this preparatory simulation is only going to make you more vulnerable in the actual event.

Go fully monty on the information. Walk around and give it your best shot. You'll thank yourself later when it actually happens.

I was able to get a decent score on the Russian town I ended up in by making looking at the trees. They looked kinda Scandanavian, so I guessed northwestern Russia outside of St. Petersburg. Wasn't SUPER close, but way better than it could have been.

My best score was 31,818. I didn't try to nail it within feet, I just spent enough time (few minutes) to get within a mile or two.

[DaFace]

I haven't done that great in terms of overall scores, but I'll throw this one out there. No cheating - just recognized the place from driving by it!

I find the Russian countries to be a bitch. Lots of land mass and very little to distinguish exact locations.

[AussieChiefsFan]

Australia is a round ruiner for me.Same here. Unless you're in a town or city, there's no way to tell where the hell you are.

Why does this cocksucker keep dropping me in Russia?

[nstygma]

Australia has endless roads without signage or landmarks, gah!

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

[ReynardMuldrake]

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.

Yeah, it's pretty bad ass.

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.

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.

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.

Did you try smartypins? Similar concept, only they ask you trivia questions and you place the pin where the trivia occurred.

Nope. I'm looking into it now, though.

Thanks.

I did much better with the smarty pins. I got just over 20 questions deep before I fucked one up royally and wasted all of my miles.
