Ausralia - Poland - Brasil - Sweden - Australia

Pretty easy must admit... Sweden was a bit tricky, managed to find a lake close by with a sign, otherwise in middle of forrest.

This is the best score I've gotten without cheating (or as Callum calls it, 'googling'):

EDIT: So the get URL button isn't working for me, so here's a screenshot instead:

Even with Googling it's very hard. I don't consider it cheating at all, it's necessary imo.

And anywhere that doesn't use the roman alphabeth is a nightmare.. Can't google those places.

Here's a few tricks I've learnt:
If you see yellow lines on the middle of the road, it's either Canada or USA - to distinguish them, search for Imperial or Metric measurements (bridge height for example);
If it looks like a slum, it's somewhere in South America (sorry, but true);
If it looks like Russian, it's somewhere near Russia (duh);
If you see a Mac "command" symbol, it's somewhere in northern Europe;
If it's dusty as hell, it's either Australia or South Africa. Check which side of the road the cars drive on. Left for Australia, right for South Africa.

That accounts for 80~90% of all pictures.

zaradon, you gotta move from the first picture and "walk around", sometimes for miles and miles, to reach a place where you can actually figure something out

and yuusou, you had to spend a lot of time without google, since walking until you find a single sign or something isn't enough unless you have google :S damn

also, my best pic score was in saskatchewan canada, in a farm area and the road was dusty as hell :P


i just wish it would be faster to walk along the road, or some sort of command that would let you run like 5 miles in this or that direction instead of "click click click click click click click click click" and after a thousand times you actually find a sign

i played yesterday 2 times.. the second round i got dropped on this straight ass highway... it just went and went and went and went.. and the photos were blurry, probably because the speed the car was moving.. but the road signs i couldn't even read.. it was awful. i guessed western ontario and it was Just into michigan, so i wasnt too far off actually.
