Who's going to be the best at this then?

You're given a streetview location and from that you've got to guess where in the world you are. The nearer you are, the more points you get.

My first guess was pretty close and I got 2186 points

I started well with a guess that was literally around the coastline from the actual location! Big points smile

It's a bit easier when you know which countries have streetview.

Bah, they nicked my idea from the travel forum

Great idea to use Streetview for it though.

My first guess was 10,000 miles out! hehe

So what do you think constitutes cheating? First effort was with none. This go I'm looking for clues and going to ol mate google? Is that cheating? smile

11686 for the first try, but have failed to replicate that performance. Australia is the worst, because it all looks the same. Bits of the east coast look surprisingly like bits of the west coast, so thats a 3500km error right there...
