Any other Geoguessrs?

As if I didn't need further ways of wasting time on the internet, I've recently got into Geoguessing - a game in which you're shown a random spot on google maps and you have to try and work out where in the world it is using the info on the street view.

It's surprisingly addictive. Anyone else here on there?

Might give it a try but I find most things that are addictive are bad for me - I even removed Chess Titans from my laptop as it was taking up too much time and used to put me in a bad mood when I kept increasing the difficulty level.

Get thee from me Satan! I almost clicked that link and it's a rabbit hole from which I would never emerge

Back in the day on another forum there were both and international and national find the place from a pic.

Of course some smart ass once put up a reasonably close up picture of a goalpost of an Italian stadium, San Siro I think.
And then they complained when we all said it was a joke, you might as well put up a pic of a close up of the 18th hole from St Andrews.

Those things are addictive and massive time sink.

You are EVIL!!!! I remained unhooked on my painkillers that were strong opiates but that site could easily become an obsession!!

Sure I might just have one more go.....!!!

Yep. If we're thinking of the same place, I remember wasting many a happy hour chasing geographical clues and googling half-hidden phone-numbers in the hope of pinning down a location.










Never again!

I'd be useless at it but I watched a few videos of people trying it. It's crazy how accurate some of them are and what they look at to make their guesses

There was one particular Canadian that I tried, very unsuccessfully, to hoodwink with someplace in Alberta.

This guy used to try do things like work out what time of day it was from the shadows, thus what direction you were looking to then try work out what feature there were in background.
Road signs, taxis and buses are always helpful to narrow down countries.

Just started. Can see the the addicting nature of it.
