So, it'll show you a google street view and you have to guess where in the world the picture's from. Closer you are the more points you get.

Hey! Hey! What's your high score??? **

 

[57stratdawg]

11K or so. Yours?!?!?

 

[Thirty-Two Dive]

12094 on my first attempt...
16,000 on my next, and I am done. I could up very late with this...

I saw the google car in Gulfport yesterday

On my way back to work on. three rivers road in Gulfport.

 

[57stratdawg]

Damn, 16K is pretty solid. Crazy how much Nova Scotia and Alaska resemble.

 

[Thirty-Two Dive]

25227, and I don;t think i can do better...

 

[Thirty-Two Dive]

On my way back to work on. three rivers road in Gulfport.

I live not too far off Three Rivers Road. I have seen a Google car on that road twice in the last 3-4 months.

 

[SignalToNoise]

Yeah I live in that area too and I've seen it a couple times. Made sure to strike a stupid pose. I'm hoping to become famous on the internet.

I saw the google car on Cowan at 4:30 today in Gulfport.

I only scored 3500 fwiw

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Had one drive past me while planting corn back in April.

 

[DerHntr]

I saw the google car pass my house while working in the yard.

Yes, I am on the google now.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

[FormerlyHighLifeRebel]

18,725 on the first round

I'm not sure I can do better.

 

[mstateglfr]

Was Michael Bluth driving it?

 

[J-Dawg]

16,827 the 1st time. Just doing a 360 and guessing off the landscape.


29,044 the 2nd time actually finding things I could tie the location back to.

 

[mjh94]

What I've learned...

Botswana, Africa looks alot like Texas, a place in South Africa looks a lot like British Columbia, Canada, and somewhere in south Australia looks alot like northern Maine

Crazy how much Nova Scotia and Alaska resemble.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

That got easier on my last one when I realized I could zoom in to pick Germany instead of selecting the entire continent of Europe. I'm an idiot.

 

[tupelodawg118]

my best so far is 20,0772.

nm.

 

[DerHntr]

Before I make fun of you, I have to ask

Is your use of a comma numerically similar to the argument we had about K and M for thousands?

 

[CochiseCowbell]

+1. That was one of the most unintentionally funny threads I've read. People were getting so worked up on either side.

 

[57stratdawg]

M, *****. I'll say I only use M in terms of money. I wouldn't write we had 57M people at Davis-Wade on Saturday.
