Hello everyone. Are you ready for a new competition? I invite you to have a competition based on guessing on maps. The rules of my competition will be quite simple and traditional.
What kind of competition?
The aim of this competition is to guess where that location belongs on Google Maps with a few photos given from a location. But do not worry if my guess is wrong, because distances will determine the points of this competition.
What are the competition rules?
1. The competition will start at the end of each month with 3 photos of the location on the maps to be predicted and you will have one week to answer.
2. contest photos will belong to street images of Google maps, not people.
3. There will be no clues in the photographs that will allow you to find the places immediately.
4.Competitors who want to send answers to the competition will share where the point in the photographs may belong, with the location they get from the maps.
5. In the competition, the distance on the map between the location given as an answer and the answer will be calculated and given as points. Attention, it will be essential not to gain points in this competition. For example, the less distance there is between the given location and the answer, the less points will be received. Thus, those with the least points will be at the top of the contestant list. will be.
Yes, how about participating in a competition aimed entirely at finding points on maps? Depending on the answers, I am thinking of starting the competition at the end of this month. Please feel free to share your ideas and suggestions with me.your opinions are important to me @AdamGT @MortenCopenhagen @ErmesT @KashifMisidia

Great idea. So great that others already come up with it 😉
Please see https://www.geoguessr.com/
I just played it and did surprisingly well. There are tons and tons of cues to pick up even when license plates are blurred.
There is also a guy on YouTube who tapes himself playing location guessing games. This is also quite amusing. Please see

The online game (that is no longer completely free) has the huge advantage of giving players instant feedback (no waiting for a month before you share the results). Maybe we should try playing this game in a virtual setup (multiplayer competition).
Your idea is great though. And I would love to take part.
Cheers
Morten

Thank you for your comment @MortenCopenhagen . The opinions of a guide like you are really important to me. I have played the game you said yes to a few times and I thought we could adapt it here. I hope other guide friends will agree with my opinion and create a good game. And your onlie game idea is perfect.I think we should all develop and play this together.😊👍🏻
