Funny... In one of the questions, they showed me a pic of the middle of the ocean then asked me where is it...

>they showed me a pic of the middle of the ocean

same here I missed by 1584 miles.

my closest is now 119 miles

cool game :)

my closest is 144 miles

Missed by 167 miles. Way to go!

cant b closer....

my closest is 34 miles :) yesssss

just got a 62 mile one straight after :)

74 miles. Though I'm probably disqualified since I created the quiz :).

45 miles, if you get a bit of sea and land it's acutally quite easy

21 miles! ok, i'll stop for a bit. try and beat that. Post a screen shot if you can.
It's a great game Andreas. Well done. I've got a screenshot of my 21 miles one if anyone wants to see it.

Wow, that will be hard to beat. I guess the resolution of the world map is about 20 miles per pixel – it looks like you hit the exact position!

Well done Andreas, great tool that will get great incoming links.

I've just got one that says "sorry, but we don't have imagery at this zoom"

How am I ment to do that?

Uhh ... you could guess which areas of the world have the worst satellite coverage :) ?

Initially the satellite image was shown at an even higher zoom level but the no-imagery-message appeared way too often. After zooming out a bit I thought it was gone for good. Apparently there are still some areas without coverage, event at the current zoom level.

Missed by 63 miles. Way to go!

Okay, we're changing the rules of the game,

Try this time to get as far as you can get from the point.

Got 11487 miles, anyone wants to compete ?... ;-p

wow! the upper map is actually dragable :D .. didn't know that.

Andreas,

Your answer doesn't count ;-)

I dont like this game.. its very additive... I hate you Andreas!!!

:)-

I can't get it to work now... it always loads saying "we don't have imagery at this zoom level..." Did Google get tired of the indirect traffic? Anyone else have this issue?

My addiction is unquenched!

Suggestion: Why not make the cursor a small rectangle (the same proportions as the view window) so you can position it on the map in exctly the same place as the view. It could be possible then to get some stunning accuracy. At the moment I am not sure which part of the little hand is the actual selection point.
