I have found a new game based on Google maps.
It’s called GeoGuessr (at geoguessr.com )
Basically you are shown a picture from google streetview, and have to guess where it is.
I wish I’d thought of it first.
Here’s an easy one that I scored 32376 points in .
Beat that !
(warning, it’s compelling.)
