    Nicely done. Remarkable how close your guesses were to mine.  I don't see your B guess at all, though. (?)

     

    Never mind, you were sitting right on top of the Google camera for that one.

      Getting a downtown location with street signs makes this so much easier, if not fair (livingston MT)

      Your guess was 0.047 km from the correct location and gave 6475 points.

       

      Whoa!  Yeah, my UP one was in the boonies and it looked like the camera lens was fogged (what's with those?  Some of the Google cam pics are horribly fuzzy).  I "drove" a ways to find a sign that pointed towards Marinette (I already was suspicious that I knew the road I was on from visual memory), then guesstimated where I'd been plunked-down.

      Will run for scenery.

        I just wasted three hours on this one.  31,644 points.

         

        No Googling, but I did "drive" around a lot !

            Pretty sloppy in your work. Clown

             

            Your guess was 0.005 km from the correct location and gave 6479 points.

            The challenging guess was 0.014 km from the correct location and gave 6478 points

            The process is the goal.

              Ya, I cheated on that one.  I saw the street signs and googled where it was.  It's actually more fun to take a quick glance and then guess.

               

              I also thought the church looked Greek.  I identified the one as southern US and was surprised it wasn't southern Florida.  I also identified Pennsylvania right away (I'm moving there next month) and snooped around to get pretty close.  Right before that I did one where 4 out of the 5 were in Australia and I figured if I had no idea I should guess Australia.

                My husband and I are playing the challenge game with a 2 minute limit on each stage.   There is a lot of swearing going on in my household tonight.  lol

                  Yeah, I thought about putting a 30 second limit on each place, just to test your intuition rather than your investigatory skills.

                      For a vacation on a budget.

                      In 2013, Google sent an employee to the island with a Street View backpack to capture its condition in panoramic 360-degree views and allow users to take a virtual walk across the island. Google also used its Business Photos technology to let users look inside the abandoned buildings, complete with old black-and-white TVs and discarded soda bottles.

                        And it was in Skyfall!

                         

                        I can't get into the buildings, though, that would be cool!

                          Inspired Skyfall, but no filming there, it says.

                           

                          Do you need Google Earth to get into buildings or what?
