EPTThe rules which i go by is you can drive around a little to find clues, but from there all you can do it zoom in on the world map given to make your choice. That particular time i got extremely lucky with a couple highly populated areas and close guesses

You guys are just amazing though lol, maybe it's just because I didn't spend as much time as you guys, but I haven't gotten nearly as high as you guys have. | ||

looking at the cars and which side of the road they drive on (and the quality of the road) I got 9797. I dont think it is proper to google names on signs or click a mile until you find something. | ||

 Still fun to kill some time and see how bad you are at geography, though. | ||

I just think of it as a different 'game', but still a very fun one imo (feels like newbie level detective work). Granted, I'm not going to try and pass off my score as if I did it without using google, but I wouldn't look down on it either gg. To me, it is like calling TAS 'cheating'. Saying that 'well anyone can make a TAS'. I respect both RTA and TAS and enjoy the different aspects of each. I use google maps with this to aim for 'perfection'. | ||

Also, the season when the pictures were taken has a huge impact. You can look at the types of flora too, at least to get an idea of the general region. | ||

There was some "help" as the words norteno was spray painted on a rock. So I thought it had to be somewhere between CA and NV. My clue being the Mexican gang norteno but based in USA.Norteno means north in spanish. The picture ended up being from southern Mexico. | ||

Like for example if you end up in Brazil and you guess Portugal because the housing and climate (+ signs on the street in Portugese) looks like it, well grats, there are similar places all over the world. It's just a fun guessing game bro. | ||

The most funny places where I've been were inside a random restaurant (don't remember where, I miserably failed) and Stamford Bridge. Closest location : 1 meter, in a french village. It must be because I'm French but I find France the easiest country by far as there are signs pretty much everywhere. On the other side, when I know I'm in Russia/USA/Canada/Australia/South Africa/Brazil/Mexico, I know I'm screwed. Oh and Alaska is very annoying too. :o | ||

I think your score is mostly dependent on how many town spots you get (assuming fair play). ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/wObrYxs.jpg) | ||

Last one not so close, 7800 brazil->mexico. Well all 3 games above 10k points and best 11464. Pretty luck based though, get sign that says "nevada" and u'll hit close, russian/spanish and it's probably within 10k km. | ||
