Eli meant to behave but there were way too many options.

Eli Rabett
Eli Rabett, a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny who finally handed in the keys and retired from his wanna be research university. The students continue to be naive but great people and the administrators continue to vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional without Eli's help. Eli notices from recent political developments that this behavior is not limited to administrators. His colleagues retain their curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they, or at least some of them occasionally heeded his pointing out the implications of the various enthusiasms that rattle around the department and school. Ms. Rabett is thankful that Prof. Rabett occasionally heeds her pointing out that he is nuts.

getting regularly over 10000 is a goal.
I did 9918 first time out- nailed 3, but mistook South Sustralia for Baja, and Newfoundland for Norway.
My wife and I do pretty well together. By myself I'm not patient enough and my last score was 8500.
12346
Maybe not quite honestly obtained. You can 'walk about' a bit and get indications of the country. In two cases I found traffic signs indicating a nearby town/city, so I got pretty close with those (within 150 km, which could have been closer if I had zoomed in more).

The homogeneity of the boreal forest at constant latitude is a killer- if it's taiga, it's taiga,
23824, thanks to some easily identifiable places. Glen Ord Distillery, for example (just google it). Or the train station of Carcross :-)

Cheat sheet.
It would be more fun, if coverage were more evenly distributed about Earth.
Lucky strike: Being teleported right in front of the sign "Tasman Costal Track", 5966 points in one.
Since the game is based on google maps the locations are always going to be near roads and the roads are always going to have signs. . .
BTW are you guys reporting marks for one frame or for five?
23000-ish is somewherearound my record for five rounds. 0.02km will get around 7000 points.
I have had one location that was not on a road, but a grassy Russion hill top.
I have had one exact location twice - it was a dirt track in Queensland.
As said, there do seem to be a few countries that come up a lot - even with the larger land area. Google coverage has a large impact I suppose.

18071 on a first attempt. I sort of didn't realise I could 'wander around' initially, so first up I got that it was Sweden but hadn't 'strolled' into the nearby village...
Yes, you could work out (nearly) anywhere if you have the patience. But some of those dirt tracks need a fair bit. The Russian hill top didn't allow it.
Two tips are side of the road (left hand side narrows it quite a bit), and road numbers - a lot of signs have them on, and GM shows them.
I don't allow myself to use another site though. It's good fun, and the kids are getting a lot out of it.

20130 for five frames- more addictive than educational since the authors have not been far off road or into the uninsurable- the geography is ~PG -13
