I bet you think you know your geography. Am I right?Perhaps you're the person who points out which string of islands is Vanuatu, or where Comoros sits. You might be the one who patiently explains that the Amalfi Coast is in this area of Europe while the Dalmation Coast is over there.
The fact is, it isn't often that a map proves to be a challenge. Until now.
GeoGuessr is a geography game that utilizes Street View on Google Maps. It dumps you unceremoniously somewhere almost guaranteed to be remote, some just nondescript country roads, and it's up to you to navigate the area and decide where you are. Once you've decided, you make your guess and are assigned points in accordance with how wrong you were (the size of the map pretty much ensures that you won't be 100% right, ever).
It's actually one of the harder geography games I've seen, as it's based more on sight than on place names. My suggestion would be to try it out on your own, then drag some friends into it with time limits and make it a competition. Chances are the geography nerds will still win, but you never know!
