I got cheated on my fourth round - the image did not refresh. But I still got 21875 points - my last location was four yards from my guess.

I can see how addicting this could be! Thanks.

I'd go to Google Maps and verify the locations before I put my guesses in - that made it a lot easier to get really close.

The last one was at an intersection with street signs so it was really easy to check and get to almost the same location as in the first view in the game.

I played twice, I guessed Georgia and Alabama correctly right away. I also got India, Norway and Sweden correct.

I had three guesses that were less than 2 miles away but one was over a 1000km (in Australia. :/ Out in the friggin desert.)

but some countries are harder to read than others - the Australian one was such a guess I wasn't even sure I'd be on the right continent! I was shocked to be as close as I was. I had to hit the little move arrow a thousand times before I even saw a sign. LOTS of nothing out there in the outback lol.

for geography lessons/games.

Got within 12.5 miles of one place which is less than 20 miles from my house.

The rest I was lucky to get with in 10000km.

One time, the first spot that popped up was a bridge I know well. So, I was able to pin-point that one. I hate when it drops you in a spot, but doesn't let you do anything but look around, without moving. That happens every once in a while.

I was on the side of a lake once and there was a fence... Needless to say I did not recieve many points for that one.

The only thing that got me on the right continent was that there were some people with long robe-like clothing. I guessed the coast of Egypt. It was somewhere in Morocco. Still easier than getting dumped in the middle of Russia. I don't know Cyrillic, so I have no clue what any of the signs say.
