Your guess was 0.002 km from the correct location and gave 6479 points.

So is it cheating if you move around and sleuth for answers?

That's part of the fun! "Hey there's a road sign, does that name sound like something in Finland? These plates look like Europe. Are these business names Spanish or Portuguese?"

Neat game. I didn't get any road signs in mine but it's amazing how much you can guess based on topography, foliage, and soil colour. Ended up just shy of 11,000 on my first 5. Also didn't realize you could pan the image or Zoom the map. That would have helped!

16,017. Weirdest one was inside a freaking restaurant with no ability to move, only pan around. Some tips I've learned while travelling:
- interior emergency exit signs are green in europe and parts of asia.
- look to see what side of the car steering wheels are on.
- Avenida is Portugese
- license plate shapes tell a lot. You may even get lucky with EU plates and see which country they are from
- web addresses on the side of vehicles are handy. Buses especially.

It worked for me. It's a little harder to move around, but I like the challenge of staying in the spot it puts you in.

So we can use our computers, right? I googled the name of a restaurant and wound up .011 away.
Final score of 13, 725.

I keep getting a lot of places in Brazil, and haven't had anything in Canada yet.

28,672 on this one. Lucked out with a lot of coastal places and easy to read street signs.

I think the game should be played only by looking 360 degrees and guessing where. No moving or zooming!
But yeah, already starting to repeat. They should make way more locations. I could spend hours on this thing... literally.

Nailed Halifax and Rio. Had a couple really hard ones in Eastern Europe. Fun game. Got 17k.

Didn't realize you can travel down the street to check nearby road signs.
21,776 on my second try with a .002 guess in North Carolina.

This game got 28166 points in total.
Actually it is pretty easy game. Just travel down the road until you see signage and google it. The only hard one was Brazil, but I got the name of the river off a government sign, and got pretty close.
Now let's see if I can repeat that score or beat it.
