But only because the second one is about 7 miles from where I sit. You've been there, y'know. Want to try it again?

I choked on the last one of this set, using every tool available: Google Earth, zoom, pan, entering in stuff that looks like landmarks. Including reading billboards and entering websites I find (they're not in cyrillic) until I get one that seems "local." But aside from the Russian one, they were actually pretty easy. I just got lazy in dropping the pin on the last one, lost 4 points. I'll get a perfect score someday

I got one of those wrong by a whole continent!! 

I'm better on the european ones but honestly where there's just a huge number of trees and a road I don't have the trees and rock knowledge needed to draw on.

This was more American.  I zoomed on one of them though, mea culpa.

Wasn't that Haul Road one a bugger? Oh and the other Alaska one too. Them're some long ol' roads with not much in the way of identifying features...

Started out simple, then went to Alaska. 1 point shy of the max. possible. Can you beat it?

Something P noticed after moving down here was a lot of old/disabled people operating motorized carts/wheelchairs on the streets in the traffic; said she'd never seen that in a lifetime in the Chicago area. In one of the Geoguessr rounds I played yesterday morning there was a guy on a motorized cart cruising down the road - in Taiwan.

I saw this was a high score so knew it would take some time. Finally clicked the link this morning and... you linked to your results and not to the "challenge". So now I know where to click!
 
It's fun, tho, seeing how close you can get (if you have the time).

Andy got 15000 points, I got about 12500. Andy should be time barred though, I got so bored waiting for him to get done that I went to the gym.





I just did a great one where one of the roads really reminded me of Alan's photo of "the road" so I guessed Kentucky and was very close. It was near Lexington.

Altho the 4th one was tricky and I fell for it.
