Its a revolutionary new system that has pushed forward the ergonomic nature of the touch screen keypad. It puts the letters you use most and in combination into a pattern that increases the efficiency of the process of typing....

Well thats the kind of bullcrap the inventor spouts before everyone points out that QWERTY works perfectly fine and that he has tried to reinvent the wheel Pfft

QWERTY works perfectly fine because you're used to it, I bet that if you let a child grow up with those azerty keyboards, he will say it works perfectly fine too

and a wheel works perfectly well because we are used to it. I bet that if you let a child grow up with oval or square wheels, he will say it works perfectly fine too... That logic can be applied to almost anything

Except that there's obviously a huge difference in the practicalities of letter-positioning on a keyboard and the practicalities of wheel-shape.

Actually both QWERTY and AZERTY keyboards are ludicrously inefficient.
Get used to a dvorak keyboard and you can type more than twice as fast. It was designed for maximum typing ease

The current layout is inherited from typewriters and was originally designed so you could type "TYPEWRITER" using only the top row

I just found out about GeoGuessr.

Good bye, sleep, friends and food. I'm busy.

I've seen that. The best I got was 11k I think. One location was only a few hundred kms from where I live, so naturally I got it, easily.

My tip is looking at the license plates and what language the signs are in and stuff, but I guess thats common sense.

Best I got was 5 metres away Pfft


Best advice would be to look at street signs Pfft

+1, just found it out too some days ago Grin

I hate it when you're on a extremely long road with no signs at all, and no cities in sight. Once I followed a gravel road in the middle of Alaska, for about 10 minutes. Not a single sign or form of human life I saw there Pfft

But then, on the other hand, you can see sooooooooo much beautiful places Smile

Some tips, what I first of all do:

- Check where the sun is (sun in south = northern half of the planet and vice versa ofcourse)
- Always keep your eyes on the compass and try to convert the landscape to a map in your mind
- Look for signs (and especially billboards with advertisements, at the bottom of those you can mostly see an address and/or city) and try to see what language is written on them
- If no signs, look at the skin of people on bikes
- Search for cities
- Search for flags
- Search for water (open seas preferably) and keep looking at the compass to situate where the sea is in comparison with the land you're standing on
- ...


Fun game!

I got a random snow covered footpath with forest one side and a chain link fence the other and no signs or ability to move from that spot, no idea how I was meant to know it was in Ukraine.

I once got an underwater picture, and it was just a bunch of rocks.

Of course my guess of Australia was still pretty close.

13k best so far. If i had more time I would've done better.

This GeoGuessr is lame because there is no time bonus.
At the moment everybody could make a perfect score giving enough time
