One of my start points was the Universal Studios Orlando globe. This is beyond easy.

Having never been to LA or Cali i would have seen the palm trees and assumed florida(but my original guess was Florida anyway). Maybe palm trees grow out there too?

I also dont put enough effort into this game to find exact spots like that, I would see that, be like o Orlando, and just click Orlando not worrying about streets.

I think this game is most fun in a timed format, in the sense you can use whatever you want to get a guess, but you only have 30 seconds to do so for each one. So if you want to travel down the road looking for signs you better ****ing hurry, you can google and stuff, but again better hurry. Someone tell the game designer to add a 30 second(ideally you could create you own length) to each guess. This was we can share games and not have to worry about specifying, O i did this, everything is fair game and if you dont get a guess off in time you get 0 points.

Who can beat my 21430 points on this one: http://geoguessr.com/?s=eyJ0b3RhbFBv...M3NV1dfQ%3D%3D? I only looked around on each location, no moving along roads and no cheating.

27302 For me.

The last location wouldn't load for me so I had to make a guess on a blank grey screen. Did that happen when you played?

No, everything worked fine.

Spoiler:
How did you get so close to the other locations? I was so proud of myself for spotting the word томский on a building and guessing only a few kilometers from the right location, but you actually got within meters. Are you sure you didn't use those arrows on the lower part of the screen?

Can anyone top this score? No google help, no moving, no zooming, no rotating even. http://geoguessr.com/?v=eyJ0b3RhbFBv...NvcmUiOm51bGx9

I put the challenge link in there at first but then I realized some people might play through the game by my rules before they realized I was FOS. I don't expect anyone to actually beat my score as I'm pretty sure it's the max possible.

I think technically 32,500 is the max (6,500 each), but you're like a few steps off from perfect, so close enough. I got to 30K+ once with Google help, but accidentally closed the screen before I could share it.

I think you are right re: the maximum score being 32395, at least for this particular challenge.

I chased your results around the world and even though I placed 4 of my pins at 0 km away from the perfect placement — yours read at 0.001 km away for those 4 — I received the same score as you. For the remaining pin we were identical distance away: 0.001 km.

As a follow up to my last post, I went back and took screen shots of my "challenge" game with d10 to see if my pin placement would show that I had got mine closer than his. Sure enough I had placed mine closer but had not been awarded a higher score — and one of his pins wasn't even on the damn road!

Stupid game can't recognize when one player kicks another's butt as badly as I did.

Here I am (red pin), right on top of the perfect placement that would be indicated by a green pin — but you can't even see it cause I'm right on top of it. LOL at d10's placement (blue pin)!!!:



Now here I am, ever so slightly away from the green pin — but waaaaaaaay closer than d10:



Can't even see the green pin again cause of my perfect pin placement. LOL again at d10 being so far away:



This one is pretty embarrassing for d10 as he didn't even get his pin on the road — while mine is pretty much right on top of the green pin:



And finally, this is probably my worst placement, guess I was getting tired (more like bored) — but it's way closer than d10's LOL effort:



In summary: Kicked d10's butt pretty bad and, yeah... bit too much time on my hands obv.

There should be a TV game show based on this. Would be the next Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

It must not record with the same accuracy it allows you to place. I put a lot of effort into getting my placement exact because I knew it was going to take a perfect game to beat Sheep86's score. I certainly didn't drop any pins off road. I only got 2 at 0km and 3 at .001km though so you still win.
