ActionArnie Dunno if y'all have come across this little game yet, but it's great fun, give it a try: http://www.geoguessr.com/
deefstes It is very cool and it's gobbled up several hours of my life already. I can get real obsessed with finding a place if I feel there are enough visual clues. I once found myself googling in the Cyrillic alphabet to find the exact location of a hotel in Volgograd, Russia. ?
Warren Very cool ? I didn't want to Google street signs etc. One cool thing: I got one that was obviously in the Kruger park, my guess ended up being 17km from the spot ? http://www.geoguessr.com/?v=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
FruitarGeek Ya was fun. Although on too many occasions it really throws you into the middle of no-where, with no signs, buildings or cars to judge. Just nature.. A wee bit difficult haha

I once got one that was right outside the front gate to Mapungubwe Nature Reserve and I managed to get it to within meters of the correct spot. Adrian Rogowski wrote Ya was fun. Although on too many occasions it really throws you into the middle of no-where, with no signs, buildings or cars to judge. Just nature.. A wee bit difficult haha Yeah, that can be frustrating but sometimes even that can be an interesting challenge. You can sometimes determine which hemisphere you're in by observing whether the sun is the northern skies or southern skies. And if there are vehicles, road signs or junctions, even if no writing is visible, you can infer which side of the road they're driving on which can also help narrow it down.
Wizard Way fun. And even feels educational. Virtual travelling. Get to pretend you're travelling to these places.
