My first try was http://www.geoguessr.com?s=eyJ0b3RhbFBvaW50cyI6NzI3OSwidmVyc... (score 7279). Holy long URL! (I've been meaning to try this out since http://xkcd.com/1214/ brought its existence to my attention.)

double that :) http://goo.gl/AYBOK (14915)

well done. perhaps check IP geo to know whether to show kms or miles. i kept getting the continent wrong. perhaps zoom the map to the right continent so I'm picking where on the continent it is vs where in the world. if you want to make some $, perhaps have some of the places be popular destination cities for my geo and after the guess, let folks click to "get there" over to hipmunk and get an affiliate fee

This game is addicting! http://www.geoguessr.com?v=eyJ0b3RhbFBvaW50cyI6MTUxMzMsInZlc... (15133 points) I have to admit I found "Antibes" written on one of the posters and got 6k points just for one guess.

One of mine had a road sign with a city name in Finish. That one was easy. :)

Yes. I cheated.. :P I couldn't stop myself to dig the code.

gg.GuessRoundCollection.makeGuess(gg.LatLngManager.currentLatLng) does the trick if anybody interested.

> You lost the challenge with 11370 points against 11397. Damn, I thought I'd beat you, but your last one was really close and made for all points I were ahead of you.

that was pure luck. guessing the continent is fairly easy. guessing the country is a little bit tricky. But guessing a point in a 100 km diameter is pure luck :)
