Hello geo fam. There’s this new online surf series called Maps to nowhere. The premise is these surfers go to really far out of the way, obscure places. To surf waves that nobody has ever been to. They do a really good job of keeping the location anonymous. I.e. blurring license plates, beer cans, etc. This is where y’all come in. I’m wondering if you can figure out the location in the video I posted below? I feel like there’s enough evidence in between all the surf footage that you guys can figure it out. Let me know what you think. Thank you

The goal here is to get a perfect score, everyday, no matter how long it takes you. Of course you can move, pan and zoom.

Lowest time wins, although this is more a personal challenge, to be patient and persevere.

This is a place for Reddit users to submit their scores for the official Daily Challenge (hopefully) without the results being tarnished by cheaters. This should be played as a [2] -- zooming/rotating, moving allowed but external assistance is prohibited. Feel free to leave any walkthroughs in your comments, concealed with a >!spoiler tag.!<

A bot will keep a leaderboard for the month. You'll notice two columns related to your scoring performance. The first of these columns is labeled Average and represents your average score among all games throughout the month. The second column is labeled Score and represents either: 1. The average of your top 15 performances, or 2. Your average score divided by 15 (if you have played less than 15 games). The leaderboard is sorted by Score. At the end of the month, the highest Score will be declared the winner, and the leaderboard will reset for the next month.

Why do we keep score this way? There were 3 potential options for scorekeeping:

1. Straight Average -- flawed because a player who only plays once but scores 25000 would likely win for the month.
2. Cumulative Total -- flawed because it unfairly favors those who are able to play every and is a severe disadvantage to those who miss even a single day.
3. Score of top 15 -- the method currently in use, it allows for some leeway for those not able to play daily, but at the same time, it's beneficial to those who are able to play more than 15 times. After 15 plays, each new score will bump out the previous lowest score.

The Daily Challenge resets at midnight UTC, which coincides with the time that this post will go live each day. So essentially, make sure that you're commenting your score with its corresponding post.

Hello, sorry for being late today. I drew an interesting map featuring ports, harbours and marinas of various sizes across Denmark. Good luck!

Results for the last two challenges:

Today's map: IntersectionGuessr - Finland by PastequeHachee 🇫🇷(78,868)

Link to the challenge here | Deadline: May 10, 8.00 pm UTC (11.00 pm in Finland)

Howdy! Today I drew a country-wide map covering Finland in its entirety. The map follows the "IntersectionGuessr-style", meaning that you should always start near some sort of intersection. This means that urban locations are somewhat more likely, and that while some places might be hard to find in most cases you won't have to pinpoint along long featureless stretches of road. All rounds begin on official coverage. Good luck!

Well done to A__European and jackES62, joint winners of Wednesday's Swiss challenge with a perfect score! solarsensei submitted a perfect score as well but it was after the deadline... nevertheless, they maintain a comfy lead in the May classification, having won every other challenge so far.

You are facing a U.S. state route sign. Do you recognize the state without moving? How fast can you find the route number on the map? You have just one minute! Good luck and have fun! :-)

Last Challenge:

R1: >!The "Keystone" of the "Keystone State" Pennsylvania. US 6 runs through the entire state in the northern part of the state. There were two signs with the town name (the karate club and the police memorial fundraising campaign). Scanning along US 6 for the state highway and town name should have helped to find the location. 1 perfect score. :-)!<

R2: >!Illinois. US 20 runs through the entire state in the northern part of the state. When you turned around you could see a sign for the Mississippi River. The Mississippi River forms the entire western border of Illinois. So, we were in the north western corner of the state where US 20 crosses the Mississippi River to continue in Iowa. 7 perfect scores. :-)!<

R3: >!West Virginia. A plain square with with a thick black border is Connecticut or West Virginia. I don't think you'll find a landscape like this in Connecticut. Another clue was the sign for the county road. WV uses circles for county roads. CT doesn't have numbered roads below state route level. I don't know any regionguessing tips for WV. All looks the same to me. ;-) 1 perfect score. :-)!<

R4: >!The sunflower of the "Sunflower State" Kansas. KS-4 runs through almost the entire state. All players who knew that we were in Kansas also found the state highway. The name of the town was visible on the silos (a bit washed out on the silo in front of us, better visible on the silo behind us). 2 perfect scores. :-)!<

R5: >!Minnesota. Again, I don't know any regionguessing tips. The name of the nearby lake was visible on a sign next to us. 1 perfect score. :-)!<

The Midwestern state, located between Lake Michigan, Lake Superior and the Mississippi, offers a diverse challenge, with many rural locations but also the sprawling greater Milwaukee area. Once you're done, you can treat yourself to a beer, another thing this state is famous for. Cheers, and good luck!
