I was playing the campaign mode and I was on a turbo mode round and got this, google says its in Pyongyang...I didn't know there was North Korea coverage in the official singleplayer games..? (forgive the bad photo i had 10 seconds to open my phone and get my cam out plus guess lol)

I just lost against someone who played like a cheater (perfect guess in one second in the Silver 1 division). I asked him why he was doing this, and he replied that he was an alt account of a 2000 Elo champion. If it’s true, is it fair play to have a second account? I mean, if all masters were creating alt accounts, how could we ever win?

I found these hexagonal road tiles, ive never seen these before but im also a new player, are these worth keeping in mind? This was Poland btw.

Thanks for the help.

I will provide a random photo, for the next 365 days, for this challenge.

I have been playing this for a few weeks and quite enjoy the game leader board where you win cups. I have pro so have 8 lives maximum that replenish I get that, but how are some people on the leader board gaining 30-40 levels in an hour as that’s impossible surely? Just wondering if I’m missing something!

I have a group of 3 or 4 people that like to play. Is there a mode where we can play against others? Like a battle royale with others? Or Either the 3 or 4 of us playing against others individually or the 3-4 of us teaming together to take on another team?

I want a bit of help so what are all the countries and island nations that are offical on geoguessr cause im getting confuzed atm

Up nearly $15 a year makes me question whether or not I should keep it. It’s a price increase of nearly 65 percent on my subscription I’ve had for years.

I know I shouldn’t complain, just sad as it’s changed from something I kept without thinking about it to something I’d probably cancel.

So, i've played global geoguessr causually for a while.

But I'm doing my PhD on the urban layout, history, geography, and water systems of medieval Siena, Italy and I found myself reading books about specific buildings and roads and not getting the picture in my head.

So I made a map of 7000 points - roughly a spot every 10 meters within the city (medieval area and the modern parts too) and immediate greenery (it's surrounded)

I've been playing multiple games for 7 days and just finished my 7th day. I've now played 51 games with some low scores and mostly fairly high- just had my perfect game but then the next two I felt tired and burnt out.

I know that this is a very different project than global scale recognition- my "metas" are neighborhood symbols, and feel, and locations, and bricktypes, and age and wear, and vibes.

i do also find it weirdly harder than global (not that global is easy) but maybe it's because my goals are so precise.

I've been playing in a quest3 headset, so it's 180 degrees, life-size seeming, and immersive, and after losses, I use a 3-D terrain simulator to fly over and look at the larger landscape. also collecting anki cards for key things (each neighborhood has it's own flag and symbols back to the 1300s that are everywhere in the art in the town)

My goal is to spend 10 weeks like this. that should be like 2550 locations.

has anyone out there done this level of hyper-focus?

it makes so much sense for my PhD work (especially interns of the gis models i'l be building in the dissertation) but at the same time I'm noticing both improvement and also feelings of cognitive overload, fatigue, emotional rollercoasters. boredom when I recognize it, annoyance when I recognize it but can't remember where.

for anyone playing mostly on a single location, what was your process? are you still at it? what skill level did you get to?

What do we call it when something like this happens?

I dropped near Acala, Texas, roughly 31.3341005,-105.9228061.

But the car was actually in Eastern Cape, South Africa, -32.7729547, 23.7345609.

The locations have almost mirrored latitudes in opposite hemispheres (north and south). One is slightly above the Tropic of Cancer, and the other is slightly below the Tropic of Capricorn. The longitudes are separated by about 129.66° (not perfectly opposite but fairly far apart). They are roughly on opposing sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

This is as close as I've (username: stiles) gotten to an actual antipodal fail. Embarrassing but also kinda cool.

AVW gotta go bro😭😭this map got me fucked up on nmpz.

I am looking to host a private game for some co workers. Does the pro basic allow me to host more than 10 people in a game? I am not super familiar with geoguessr outside of the free daily games.

Hello, noob here.

I tried to search but I think I'm lacking basic terminology or something.

Is there a website that would allow me to search partial addresses in an area?

Such as all no. 16s in a city? Or places with "Well" in their name in a region?

If this is against rules or annoys the meta sorry! Please tell me and I'll delete.

Thank you!
