Blimey! What options did you take? I only managed 120 points with 7/20 right on the whole of the UK

I've spent hours on Geoguessr. Got one round down to a T because I was dumped within walking distance of a handy roadsign/identifiable shop on every go

Great way of seeing lots of parts of the world you wouldn't otherwise see because it's not touristy.

If it was cheating, it'd be disabled (and some parts have movement disabled on purpose!)

Most of the locations I got were in Mexico and one in Australia...stuff along the roadside gave me enough clues to make an educated guess...

This game will show you randomly selected urban scenes and ask you where they are. In so doing, we capture your mental map - that is, which parts of the city you tend to correctly recognize. By combining your answers with other people’s, we are able to draw the collective mental map of the city.
