I just got one at night, in the rain! If anyone else gets this, it's somewhere in Thailand. Grr.

Got another 0.009km Grin Sitka, Alaska this time!

Northern Ukraine looks a bit dodgy.

The big sign saying Fishermans Cove was a bit of a givaway. Grin

Impressive!

danceponydance · 27/05/2013 23:37

God this is addictive! 19007 my latest score.

DS had a go. He is really long sighted, (+6) and it turns out with his glasses on he can read things which are really, really out of focus. A great talent when playing this, apparently.

LynetteScavo · 28/05/2013 18:54

11655 with every country right. You should get more points if you get the country right, not just the distance.

LynetteScavo · 28/05/2013 18:57

"Your guess was 46.439 km from the correct location and gave 4096 points."

Then it gave me really hard ones. Hmm

Love it!

LynetteScavo · 28/05/2013 19:13

12352 I'm getting better.

LynetteScavo · 28/05/2013 20:49

You lost the challenge with 11109 points against 11475.

You win, Chameleon!

EverybodysStressyEyed · 28/05/2013 21:04

25749 - and that was based on 4 proper goes because the Australian outback completely threw me!

Very addictive but also really frustrating when you get a location that is badly focussed!

LynetteScavo · 28/05/2013 21:10

13202 I challenge you

EduCated · 28/05/2013 22:23

Are you Googling from clues or going in completely on a guess?

LynetteScavo · 29/05/2013 17:55

I'm Googling from clues, such as flags, and words in signs. I get very excited if it's a town rather than just a road in the middle of nowhere. For example, I googled a flag, which turned out to be Madeira, then googled exactly where Madeira is (I had no idea is was so far from the mainland!) And voila! A nice high score. Smile

It doesn't work for the Australian outback, which is often remarkably similar to areas of Brazil, so I've learned.

JerseySpud · 29/05/2013 18:07

So im playing this....and it shows me a picture of about half a mile down the road from me.

Brilliant!

LynetteScavo · 29/05/2013 18:12

This is a really good one for clues All but the last one have clues to Google.

StuffezLaYoni · 29/05/2013 18:12

This is the best thing EVER!

culturemulcher · 29/05/2013 18:25

8087 - and thought I was doing well til I came back and saw everyone else's score Envy. Great game.

notahappycamper · 29/05/2013 18:59

so addictive!

QueenStromba · 29/05/2013 19:07

I got 10080 on my first go just from guessing before I realised you could move the view around. I then proceeded to get rubbish scores until I realised that you can move around. My 16000ish score was when I landed near Dartmoor on one of the rounds so got about 6000 points in one round.

QueenStromba · 29/05/2013 20:55

I just got 25301 on LynetteScavo's one. How was the last one not easy to google?
