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

That's brilliant.

Cheers

Excellent.

I scored 9095 over the 5 rounds.

That was fun! I was rubbish though.

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

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

[Mr MXT]

Best game ever.

Love it. Happy with 10889 points for a first effort.

[durbster]

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!

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?

You missed with 0.329 km which gave 3171 points.

Good game!

my score

[SteellFJ]

woow!!!

I got 11682 points in total, first try, worst one was 8000km out though!

[mnkiboy]

9571. Finland looks surprisingly similar to the USA

[uncinqsix]

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...

[Angry Sheep]

First guess was 1.2km out

Didn't do as well after that, 10403 points in total.

14028. This could get addictive.
