<html><body><p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/GeoGuessr-Google-Maps-Game-1.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="first-image img-responsive" alt="GeoGuessr Google Maps Game 1" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/GeoGuessr-Google-Maps-Game-1.jpg" width="468" height="333"></a></p>
<div id="urb-ads-toc-box" class="post-ads-toc-box urb-ads-toc" style="display:none;"></div><p>Can you guess where in the world this unidentified Google Maps location is by landscape, road signs, architecture and cars? Test your geography skills with <a href="http://www.geoguessr.com/">GeoGuessr</a>, a site that drops you into a random Street View and challenges you to answer correctly five times in a row. Brilliantly simple, this virtual travel guessing game will stump you with featureless fields, and city scenes that seem to belong on entirely different continents.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-49685" alt="GeoGuessr Google Maps Game 2" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/GeoGuessr-Google-Maps-Game-2.jpg" width="467" height="570"></p>
<p>Once placed in a location, you can move up and down the streets and use the arrows to view it in 360 degrees, just like on Google Maps and Google Earth. Sometimes, you might get lucky, and see some kind of identifying signs. Sometimes, there&rsquo;s nothing but farmland and trees.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/GeoGeussr-Google-Maps-Game-3.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-49684" alt="GeoGeussr Google Maps Game 3" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/GeoGeussr-Google-Maps-Game-3.jpg" width="468" height="456"></a></p>
<p>When you think you&rsquo;ve determined the location, drop a pin on the world map on the right side of the screen and make your guess. You might be surprised how many times you&rsquo;re about as off as you can possibly be. Some streets in Northern Canada look an awful lot like those in Argentina. Try it for yourself at <a href="http://www.geoguessr.com/">GeoGuessr.com</a> (via <a href="http://laughingsquid.com/geoguessr-a-geography-trivia-game-using-google-street-view/">Laughing Squid</a>).</p>
