26,893. Not too bad on my first play. Though I did keep looking for any signs or landmarks to narrow down where I was. Sadly I totally messed up on Ohio.

Seem to average about 11-14,000. Although one game I got 3 roads in the middle of nowhere, no landmarks, nothing and my guesses were just awful.
It dropped me in a town my mother used to live in. Score!
Total score was 13436. Somehow, I mistook South Africa for Vancouver. Make sure you find and read signs!

Missed by only 749 kilometers on my first try. I guessed Wyoming, but unfortunately it was one state over somewhere in Montana. Though I have to admit the US flag helped a lot. ^^
9541. I'm guessing it would've been better had I not guessed South Africa when it was actually Russia. Otherwise I knew one was British Columbia and I knew one was Brazil. One I thought was Greece turned out to be Romania and one I thought was Indonesia or Malaysia turned out to be Thailand.
Just from what I could see as well, I recognised the signs and landscape and road layout from BC from my holiday there and I could tell that it was Brazil from the language on the signs and the traffic lights not looking like they do in Europe so I knew it was south america and guessed it was brazil because I didn't think it was actually spanish.
The Thailand one was close because I could tell from the style of advertising and the look of the letters it was in that area and the Romanian one reminded me of Easterny Europe from the one type of car I saw but it seemed a bit sunny and olive grovey to be anywhere but Greece.
WAY off on Russia, though there were literally no distinguishing features and it looked relatively sunny. So went for South Africa.

15673 in my first go.
I misplaced a stretch of nondescript Corsican brush for the Spanish Pyrenees and I misplaced the Baltic coast of Estonia at the Baltic coast of Germany because the blurry license plates looked German in their form and with the blue EU part.
Other than that I was pretty good. I hit a bulls eye on the first (500 meters away) because I googled the Lamorada Fishing Club.

I decided to go all detective and do my best to flush out exact locations using signs & Google to help a bit. I ended up getting 32374 [http://www.geoguessr.com?v=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] for my troubles.
The ones in West Virginia & Botswana ones were super easy, the ones in Portugal & Mexico took a bit of detective work (I used a sign for the Rio Torto and a "Loreto Bay" sign to flush them out, respectively), and the one in Estonia... OH GOD THE ONE IN ESTONIA. I was running around the dirt roads for an hour just to find a paved road with a sign. Then it took another half-hour to deduce where I started. Luckily there was a creek with a weird building next to it that I found right when I first set out so I was able to eventually get it, but dang, that took forever. >_>
Might take another go at it tomorrow and see how I do again. :3

I managed 32372 with some serious Google-fu. It seems like they get progressively harder too. It was tricky but doable to orient myself in Port Fairy, AUS as there was a flag and signs to go by. Same with being plunked on a highway in Brazil right between a brige and a giant highway sign with 5 references. Being dropped into Wicken Fen near Cambridge, UK was a bit harder, but the second last one had me resorting to finding the road that crossed a Brazilian interstate border in the right direction with only a police shack for orientation, and the last one was actually a single panorama taken by a German fellow named Samuel Rothenbühler, whom I had to add to my Google+ in order to pull the coordinates from the picture. Turns out it was taken in a small forest on fucking Jeju Island off the coast of South Korea.
If Googling is wrong, I don't want to be right.

my first round dropped me 3 streets away from my home i was out by 500 meters
second round dropped me in the Mojave desert in the USA i only know because ive driven that road before
the next round dumped me in somewhere i had no idea so i took a punt and ended up about 150 km north of where i guessed which from thinking could be any one of 3 continents was pretty close
then i got dropped on a Caribbean island and i picked the wrong one
finally off to south Africa where i got plopped in front of a road sign with 12 towns on it managed to get withinn 100 km

11989 on my 2nd go.
Missed one by only 6 metres...however I missed 2 others in the same game by a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way! Which brought my score down a bit. Got over 6k points for the one I missed by 6 metres though!

Not bad, even if I can't tell Australia from Kansas.
