Where in the world are you... or How the hell did the Google Van/car/bike get there?

A site that gives you 5 street view maps. Guess where they are anywhere in the world. You can zoom, go up and down the roads, use anything to guess where the heck the google van/car/bike is. Score more points by getting as close as possible to the location.

Horrible time waster. Most of the time I ask how did google get out to some of these places.

You can compete with others by copy-paste a link it gives you at the end of the game.

[Celeras]

I am instantly amused, thank you.

Second attempt, this game is more fun than I thought it would be.

It was a total Dbag to me before, in one round I had sweeden twice and romania once, all looked exactly like any part of Pennsylvania. It was a random road in the middle of nowhere and I clicked around for 15minutes before finding civilization or a sign.

I find that hard to believe.

I find that hard to believe.

I cheated on one attempt and found a sign and looked it up.

I knew it, cheater! I found an Alaska something sign and was off by only 500. But you can't look them up!

Also, the rural Asian areas are impossible.

21k first try. Round 2 was in the middle of the town that my father-in-law lives. It was strange. Round 3 put me on a hilltop with no roads leading to or from it and I could not move the camera at all so I just guessed the location. There was nothing but grassy hills with a few trees in the distance. I guessed Alabama and was completely wrong...it was Honduras. Great game to kill time for people that like geography.

Was hard to resist! Second attempt was much easier than first, I got like 4 average forest areas that was hard to pinpoint.

I wonder if XKCD has anything to do with this suddenly gaining popularity and popping up everywhere.

This one was kinda easy, they all had signs of something that was obvious, lol, except the last which I couldn't move around at all and only had a Russian flag, got kinda close anyways. Third one was on the USS Midway deck, rofl...

South America needs to stop looking like Europe. There was a sign in Portuguese, so I guessed somewhere in Portugal, but of course it's on south america. There was a sign that was in KM/H and another one that said "Radar Novél" so I guessed somewhere near spain/france/etc, but it's in south america again.

I can only blame myself. I pretty much forgot everything below Mexico even exists.

[Plow]

my first try it gave me one I absolutely knew for certain where it was (a specific restaurant in northern england was clearly visible) and when I submitted my guess it said i missed by 3.5k km and said the correct answer was somewhere in the middle of siberia


fuck that lol

[Natallon]

Literally everyone I work with plays this game! Goodbye productivity!

[synistar]

Most hilarious places my friend has been given is a bike trail in eastern Europe, a place with a baptist church and confederate flags everywhere, and a Google snowmobile somewhere on a ski slope in the Canadian Rockies lol.

[Coren]

16k first try, though I did cheat on one (and still missed it by half an ocean). One was a road in the middle of kansas that I tried to follow... and finally guessed somewhere in the midwest.

long link ugh

[Odin'sLaw]

i got 4 images all looked like areas around Europe, all areas were in america....dafuq world why you gotta look so samey :/
