GeoGuessr Guess-All

14208 blarg.

Spoiler:

- DOUBLE Brazil!? F-U GeoGuessr!
- *road sign outline thing* Whaaaat!? Wish I'd known this sooner :O I got vaguely in the right direction at least...it looked a bit north-eastey to me. Still plenty far off target though.
- Yeah. Not even close. Other side of the planet even.
- FINALLY redemption. Got this one right down to the street thanks to that barn.

Oh I signed up before I even knew what you were supposed to do! Not good!

Been a busy month, but I've got a few hours downtime today, so let's get this party started... again!

Is it just me, or has movement changed in the last month? Didn't seem like I was able to travel nearly as fast as before...

Spoiler:

1 - Royally messed this one up. Saw a sign for Covington, which I remembered seeing signs for when I was in Seattle, so I spent the remainder of my time searching Washington state for the city. Should have known better from the foliage.
2 - Beautiful road! Wasn't able to find a sign that told me which state, so went with Washington again.
3 - Ok, apparently I suck at America, but Sweden is no problem. Nice
4 - Had to Australia. Only 1300 km off target, but that's decent for Australia!
5 - Grr.

Erf. I tried the first round, and I'm not sure if it's because of the ad trying to load at the bottom, but it was basically impossible for me to play. I wasn't able to get anywhere and it was super frustrating. I will give it a try at home and see what happens.

Let's have a Thursday round!

I gave up on the first one so let's give this one a shot.

20797.. nice, i'll take it. It definitely seems more inconsistent in how it jumps around but being at home with better internet definitely helped.

Spoiler:

1 - Managed to find a clear camera area, but nothing to narrow down the state. Guessed Iowa based on the corn
2 - Found a sign with a .NO domain. Plenty of road signs, but hard to tell if a particular sign is the name of a city, or just telling me that there's a roadside stop ahead. Should have gone more southern.
3 - Texas. Ran out of time narrowing it down.
4 - Argh! Found a sign for Portland. Who knew there was a Portland in Arkansas?
5 - Damn, just couldn't narrow it down to the right part of the province.

I never remember the order so I tend to wait till someone else posts their comments so I can follow up hahahaha.

1. Never found a clear camera area, just took a random guess based on features and it went ok.
2. Found that same sign and did the same thing. Random guess somewhere in Norway.
3. Found out I was at a marina in Texas, checked the coast but couldn't find anything right so I assumed I was near one of the inner lakes and just chose a spot between a couple bigger ones.
4. Again, went with a random guess based on geography.
5. Saw a sign for cornwall/st. andrews so I immediately went to the UK. Thankfully i saw a canadian flag and a sign for HWY 138 which didn't match up with anything in the UK. Was able to get fairly close once I realized that.

Slightly late to the Thursday game but... yeeeeeyuh!

Damn, I have no idea how you scored that well on those maps. Good job!

Thanks. I've done a lot of these on my own and with my team at work so I've gotten good at finding little details and triangulating quickly.

Boom! Saturday challenge!!

Spoiler:

1 - Close enough for Russia.
2 - Found a sign that said Sonora. Couldn't narrow it down any more than that, but a perfectly acceptable guess.
3 - I hate Russian locations. Pretty though.
4 - I don't even...
5 - A nature preserve somewhere in Brazil. That really narrows it down.

Rough one today!

Sorry for the delay! Forgot about this.

Spoiler:

1. Freaking Russia
2. Figured out country.. random guess
3. Yeah, freaking Russia again.
4. Uhhh, based on the pictures I guessed a random place in India that ended up being really close. Wooooooo!
5. Oh, there's the obligatory Brazil one.

yeah i keep meaning to get to this but i've been so busy during the day that i don't wanna take on the time limit.

That one didn't go so well. I got 4800 or higher on two of them but then flamed out super hard on the other three (just over 700 pts combined) and ended up with 10521. How in the world did y'all triangulate that one in what looked like a metal shop?

I looked at the paintings on the wall and made a wild guess.

Oh boy, been over 2 weeks now since the last challenge. That just won't do!

Well screw it, I can't play with the new Google rendering engine. The blur when moving and inability to click far away pretty much ruined the game for me. Guess that's why there haven't been new challenges.

Yeah, it's rough. I'm ok running it at home where the computer can handle it but if I'm at work, where I usually play, it doesn't run well at all

Yeah, I just resurrected this thread. What of it!?

An easy one...
Movie locations - 5 min challenge timer. Go!

my score 22061

I did horrible until I realized that I had 5 mins a round, not for the whole thing.

No. Nooooooooooooo! I made it out and now you're trying to pull me back in!

Did they fix the rendering? I'll check it out tomorrow!

23751 and yeah, it is running much better than when we quit last time.

21253 - Could not remember for the life of me what country Petra was in. D'oh!

20329 for me. Couldn't even remember the name Petra, wound up just sticking a pin on the arabian peninsula at random.

Yeah, I hit Libya figuring it was mostly in the middle of everything. Too far west!

New random world challenge! 5 min limit per location. And.... go!
