GeoGuessr

This is a really addicting online game where it gives you a Google Maps Street View window, and you have to try and pinpoint where you think it is.
Or try out the new Beta GeoGuessr!

Official Highscores without “help” from Google or other sources: (I'll try to update this regularly)

Cool

I've never had one from my own state but I've had a few nearby, in Tennessee.

Wow, I managed to get my country once again.

6469 points!

Imagine if it takes you to your house…


EDIT: Once again, I ended up in Brazil.

Let's count how many times we get Brazil.

Because I just got it once again.

EDIT: AND AGAIN.

Oh my gosh, I was just about to make this topic! :O

Anyways, it seems like I'm really good at European countries, even though I've never been to Europe.

Australia keeps killing me.

I get about 10,000 points every time.

Dang, I kept thinking the places were in Northern US when they were actually in Canada.

10430…11065…11636…13802…17740!!!! I was within 2km on two of them though (one in Barcelona, the other in Brazil)
The best trick is probably language; anything besides English is pretty helpful, especially if it's Cyrillic or is otherwise easily identifiable (Lithuanian, Finnish, Portuguese). Flags are also good, though not particularly helpful with the US & Canada.
Oh yeah, and the size and shape of the license plates.
I also have a lot of trouble telling South Africa and Australia apart.

Nice

Yes, I look around for signs, and try to identify the language on them. License plates don't help…Google blurs them.

You can generally see the size and shape through the blur, though, which can be helpful in differentiating between Europe and North America.
(Plus once I got an unblurred Newfoundland license plate)
