I always go the opposite unless it's obvious it's the capital, I have realised I don't have a clue where the feck capitals even are located though

I came 2nd with a gap of 1500 points.... I want to cry so bad right now because I was timed out on the 3rd one due to my wife wanting a glass of water but most importantly..5th:

I tried a couple before-hand and decided to do new one, if too many rounds were from US, or if it was too hard, or if I did too poorly(but easily beatable)
Proud of my second round answer that missed by 25m. I doubt anyone gets close to round 5.
I'm fecking Bangladeshi and I knew exactly where that was because I can read bengali
Never knew that about Australia.
If I'm unsure which city it is exactly, I'll pin the flag somewhere between the major cities.
It is!This is way too much fun!
I got most countries right there but ended up at the opposite sides of the bastards! The 5th one is an easy to guess country, but impossible to pinpoint!
Yeah, I think they should always award more points if you get the country right but miss by thousands of kms.
Do people want me to pre-screen these? So they are not too geographicly concentrated/too hard/too easy? Or just random ones? And is the time limit good now?
Depends on the country. There are some countries where I assume Google hasn't done streetview outside of the capital or major cities.
That's a bootable offence.
I don't mind proper random ones no matter how hard, it's all a bit of fun at the end of the day
Damn you Russia for being so bloody big! Happy with my overall score though.5th:

I enjoy the ones with small hints that you can eventually work out the best, although getting the country right of extremely challenging ones is almost as rewarding.
Apart from Russia, Russia can go feck itself.

That one was even harder! This game is expanding my knowledge I feel. Didn't know what other countries looked like
The last one is why I like being able to move. It was pretty much impossible to know from that. The others were more possible. Happy with the 4th guess.
The last one was very hard. I got 0.
Holy shit I'm well impressed with my guess for the last one
I mean, I got the country wrong, but still.I'm not!The key to cheating is to not make it too obvious!
Yeah. If it was 1st or 2nd, I would have done another one. But since it was last and pretty okayish set as a whole, I got lazy and didn't search for a better one.The last one is why I like being able to move. It was pretty much impossible to know from that.

I don't even understand your 4th guess. Clearly you saw the sign to tell you the town, but then you didn't put it on the town? fecking weirdo. Can't believe I lost to you.Holy shit I'm well impressed with my guess for the last one
You'll be surprised actually. Go to any random spot with roads on Google Maps and dangle the little guy over the map (yes, I've done that
). You'll see that they have covered an insanely large portion of the globe already. Plus they have done multiple reruns in many countries as well. (For any Streetview image, you can also check it's history if there is any.) A huge endeavour.I didn't think it looked busy enough to be the town itself, so assumed that that sign was adveritsing a business nearby in the town, so went just outside.
Plus why would you put the full address on a sign in a town where you already are.
And in your 3rd guess, you put it in the wrong country, when the alphabet clearly didn't match that country. I'm so mad. I see we had the same idea for the 1st one though.
I had no idea what the language was tbh, I just suddenly thought Thailand at the last minute and put it in in a panic
The ones with Russian looking writing are so painful, because even if it's Russia it could be literally anywhere, plus then the other countries that use their language or similar ones, bleh!
Which one was that?
Oh yeah. I am considering myself the true winner of that challenge.
fecker.
fecker.
It's very impressive how far away you were for sure.
I'm still not convinced that wasn't Yucatan.
Maybe! It's probably that lesser known part of Yucatan that looks completely different to the rest of the place.
Fighting is for losers, we can have a real-time in person Geoguessr battle, we'll have a referee, refreshments and everything. We'll stream it on the Caf for everyone to see.
So... you're saying we'll be influencers on a trip around the world? I'm in.
I am so so so bad at this..
I have to say, I certainly expected more stuff like "Alabama born and bred" stickers to help me out on US maps
Fecked up the last challenge. Went in a different continent. Could have been 1st had I guessed at least the continent correctly
Russia is certainly the worst. Theoretically I should have an advantage, but in reality my knowledge only confuses me. Typical buildings & cars alongside half of the world, take your pick on the basis of one random mountain that you see in the background
I see that the last 2 got quite a few of us. I thought that I could catch Olly before those came along!
There was a sign!? I was struggling to think how Olly could possibly have been so close with those last two, as I was doing pretty well up until then.
The previous rounds helped me with the Cyrillic language places. I recognised that the paving was the same as it was in a Bulgarian location.I had no idea what the language was tbh, I just suddenly thought Thailand at the last minute and put it in in a panic

Not that that stopped me from second guessing myself and clicking on Greece.
