7222 points, one was made a little simpler by seeing a van marked 'Alaska Glass and Supply' in the picture. :rofl:

Hmm...score is going up (10987) but so is the variation.....managed to nail The Isle of Skye at 12km away:)but got somewhere in samerica mixed up with somewhere in russia over 15000 km away:( I can see this becoming as addictive as that 4th grade test someone posted a few years ago where it timed how quickly you could drop the 50 states in the right place on the map....

Best was next village along, worst was wrong continent :@)


Gave up on next round when first three dropped me on a country lane, surrounded by trees with no features anywhere.

24,000 points with a lot of miles driven around on the roads - it's probably taken 30 minutes!

I was wondering how you could get within 12 Km of any location since I was having a problem placing the marker anywhere in a country the size of Switzerland.

I finally wondered if Windows 8 was not showing me something so I tried it on my Windows Vista laptop and my goodness, there are controls in the upper left corner of each screen that are not on Windows 8. Trying to place a marker on a 3"x3" world map is not the easiest thing possible but I did manage to come within 600 Km when I knew exactly where the location was (I knew the location was Avion but couldn't get any closer than the south of France).
