Seriously, if you are googling the signs in the game you are DIW. Its just a game, play it for real.


Game finished!
You got 20689 points in total.

Hardest one so far, dropped me in a small village with minimal identification and any signage I could see I couldn't understand. Ended up being in Thailand, I guessed somewhere in Myanmar so reasonably close.

No cheating here as that just ruins the fun.
Got lucky with a few for sure.

3/5 for me were random roads in the middle of nowhere. I got one way off, guessed somewhere in south america, was Italy.

Ended up with 8xxx.

One of my spots had a second street view car following it for a long time.

Completely depends on your locations.

3 of mine I got within 50 km, really easy. Then two were single lane roads in the middle of nowhere. Roads went on for miles in each direction with nothing. No road signs. From vegetation/geography I could limit it to some degree, but they were still complete guesses. I suppose I could have traveled down the road until I found something that gave it away, but I don't think that's the point.

I had one like that and thought, shit, that looks like the middle of Nebraska in BFE. Just threw it down and was within like 60 miles :p

In one I saw a sign that said "utrecht" so I zoomed in on Utrecht, Holland, but the right answer was somewhere in the south of Japan. Only got 600 points for that one.

Second try was 13200

9681 the first time. Had ~3000 points (I can't tell between Mexico, South America, and Italy worth a shit), then got lucky with Seoul on the last one.

Got 8278 points. Wasn't trying super hard (never zoomed in on the guess map to try to get real accurate). Only really messed up one badly. I saw people driving on the other side of the road and quickly guessed England, forgetting about Australia (which it was).

The OP even gave us a hint. My key to figuring out I was in Australia is if the signs were in English and there was any topography even remotely interesting to me on the horizon. Not sure how dense England is, but I have a feeling you can't drive too many miles without hitting a house or something. The red soil also gave it away.

I had one round where 4/5 were in Australia. I've also had it dump me in the same location twice.
