Title: Where am I ? Post by: cdw1111 on May 11, 2013, 09:41:44 AM http://www.geoguessr.com/
Interesting time waster. 13964pts my best so far. Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: kinboshi on May 11, 2013, 10:37:09 AM Oh, I like that. 7246 on my first attempt, although it's tough playing it on a phone.
Got three countries correct, but guessed at Australia for one and it was actually southern Russia :D Going to be playing this a fair bit! Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: EvilPie on May 11, 2013, 10:41:19 AM Managed to get 15 points for one of them. Quite impressive I thought.
Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: KarmaDope on May 11, 2013, 10:42:26 AM 27k my best score so far
Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: Tal on May 11, 2013, 10:46:55 AM I am twelve kinds of rubbish at that!
Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: EvilPie on May 11, 2013, 10:49:13 AM 27k my best score so far Going to have to call bullshit on that one. Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: kinboshi on May 11, 2013, 10:49:13 AM Managed to get 15 points for one of them. Quite impressive I thought. Did you manage to click on Mars? :D Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: EvilPie on May 11, 2013, 10:51:47 AM Managed to get 15 points for one of them. Quite impressive I thought. Did you manage to click on Mars? :D It's surprising how English something can look even if it's in Canberra. Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: EvilPie on May 11, 2013, 10:53:08 AM Got one close.
107km off for 3154 points. Would've got even closer if I could actually be arsed to zoom in a bit more. Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: BorntoBubble on May 11, 2013, 10:53:52 AM 12k!

Did you manage to click on Mars? :D It's surprising how English something can look even if it's in Canberra. :D Same for the bit of nondescript road that was obviously built by Aussies. They just happened to be on the border of Kyrgyzstan... Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: EvilPie on May 11, 2013, 11:04:10 AM Highest and lowest individual scores?
15 and 3154 for me. Anybody got one bang on the nose? Don't count Sharplea in this obviously. His average of 5400 is obviously puts him out of the mere mortal league. Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: outragous76 on May 11, 2013, 11:16:09 AM Ok so you are going for a "tree" point question
Goooooooooo-Ing for gold! Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: Woodsey on May 11, 2013, 11:18:18 AM Good game, 5k and 9k from 2 goes.
Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: EvilPie on May 11, 2013, 11:25:10 AM You missed with 0.013 km which gave 6478 points.
Bingo!!! Helped that there was a restaurant in the picture called the "Mangonui fish bar". Little bit of geekery and some help from trip advisor and you have a target to beat. Bit disappointed to miss it by 13m to be honest. Wish I'd zoomed in a bit more now. Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: kinboshi on May 11, 2013, 11:29:54 AM I scored a 15. Australia and the US are a long distance apart :D

Having said that I move the streetview around and have a wander about, is that cheating? Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: EvilPie on May 11, 2013, 11:42:22 AM Yeah course it is. I just wanted to see how close I could get that was all.
Was just trying to go by road signs and things then spotted the Mangonui and thought I'd google it. How was I to know they had a website :) I don't think cheating really applies when it's just random pics from google earth anyway. If you get a random bit of road you're just guessing anyway so it's not like there's any skill involved. Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: kinboshi on May 11, 2013, 11:50:32 AM I like it when there's a bit of a sign that gives you a hint, but without giving away the country or town to obviously. This one stumped me a bit though:

4th picture was inside a restaurant with no clues,guessed at Greece and was right but a fair way off. low point was 80pts for an individual picture. Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: taximan007 on May 11, 2013, 12:21:03 PM 1st attempt 9264 pts

(I'm putting it down to variance, and I'm getting really difficult places... :D) Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: rfgqqabc on May 11, 2013, 12:26:06 PM Best is moving to road signs.
I managed 18k whilst using google. Last one was a road with no markings or signs, just green. Went for Scotland and obvs Canada. Got one within 1km and another within 5 Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: Waz1892 on May 11, 2013, 12:48:45 PM 2 goes so far, 6kish each time. Closest is 212k - which was in New Zealand, so that could have gone horrible wrong!
Need to click more on the screen, as the clues are there Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: kinboshi on May 11, 2013, 01:20:56 PM My best is still just under 12,000. But that might be changing:
You missed with 0.416 km which gave 6444 points. That's the first go of the five. Pressure's on... Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: kinboshi on May 11, 2013, 01:22:12 PM Best is moving to road signs.

Not that hard when you see a road sign and just zoom in on the map until you find the place. I will say this though - the game I got 27k (actualy 26889 or something like that) took me about 20 minutes. Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: MPOWER on May 11, 2013, 09:12:03 PM 8.11km away

Massive bowl of Cheatabix this morning, methinks Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: EvilPie on May 13, 2013, 11:01:49 AM Pretty awesome with the 1m out.
Anyone got any clue as to how they actually score these things? Title: Re: Where am I ? Post by: millidonk on May 13, 2013, 12:17:19 PM Would love to see some live streams of people doing this! 13k for me thank god for a Russian supermarket.
