Could have been better except that I placed the first in Canada and it was really Australia.

I suck at that game

I did pretty well the first time, even though I didn’t realise you can move tge streetview around.

Well, that was a bit weird.

On the last one, saw street signs in Spanish/Portuguese (yeah, like I can tell the difference) and a car driving on the left hand side of the road. So I pulled up my handy Wikipedia list of left-driving countries and picked Suriname.

Turns out it was Mexico. How does that work??

I played that game and it showed me some card driving down a two lane highway.

I thought to myself, “That sure looks like Australia!”

But it couldn’t be cuz all the cars were driving on the right hand side.

But it **was **Australia.

What gives?

Twice I was just over the state line from the photo, but it helps that I’m familiar with the area.

I guessed Arkansas for the first one, and Arkansas WAS the 2nd one.

For the ones outside the US, I was at least on the same continent.

Fun time waster!

Could be a four lane highway… with a large median strip, eg with such thick bush, that you couldn’t see the other two lanes.

Plenty of that around.

M1 NSW (Sydney to Newcastle ) has plenty of bush at the middle. Some it has a rock (original bedrock… They cut the rock away where the road was going. ) in the middle.

Were they overtaking the streetview car ?

Or… playing up for the camera… a joke “hah, we have crazy drivers here, amigo !”

Fun Game. I tried it 3 times and my high was ~11,000. Those Australian ones kill me, I keep guessing South Africa, but otherwise I am pretty accurate.

Stupid Russia. Thought I was doing good when I had a gut feeling the architecture was Russian. I was right but still missed by a million miles.

ETA: Although woohoo, my “umm well that has to be northern Mexico somewhere” guess was only off by 12 KM :slight_smile:

Pretty amazing how accurate you can be with not much more than vegetation, dirt, and some pavement!

  1. I got all the continents correct, just missed on the specific locations. But I bet I can’t repeat that score.

ETA: 10008. I guess I can!
