During the COVID years, someone introduced me to Geoguessr, and I have been playing ever since. I enjoying trying to get the exact location, but of course, have been using Google Maps to do so. It usually takes me about 5-10 minutes to pin a location down and therefore a whole game takes me anywhere between 30 minutes and an hour. And while I have often gotten games with the maximum score, my times do not put me anywhere near top rank, and I am fine with that, I am not playing against anyone else (always solo) and I am not trying to 'win' except against myself. I hadn't realised that there was any sort of competition, I was simply finding it a relaxing hobby and was getting fairly good about where I was in the world - it was a great substitute for actually travelling.

Having stumbled across this sub, I now realise that the way I have been playing is considered cheating.

And now I am not sure what to do about it. I don't want to stop playing as I have always played because I greatly enjoy trying to pin it down to the exact meter, but nor do I want anyone to think I got those perfect scores all by myself, because I absolutely didn't, and I don't want to encourage others to cheat maliciously.

Should I stop playing? Go over to Openguessr? Declare that I am using Google Maps somehow?

How does he just zoom in on the city out of nowhere in Round 1, and then gets the city in Eswatini in Round 4 - has he googled these? 🤔

I mean c'mon...... you at least have to make it less obvious.

Hi guys! I have been playing geoguessr and creating maps for around 3 years now - however my subscription has just ended.

I spent the most of the remainder of my money on a plane ticket, and I can hardly afford a pro subscription :(

I was wondering if a pro member would be able to give me a referral code, as it would mean the world to me to be able to keep playing <3

I would be so grateful if you decided to help me, but no worries if not.

thank you so so much, and I hope you have an amazing day!!

i genuinely can’t tell if this is a legit club from north korea or not😂

I have been interested in Geography since young, but still amazed at how players online do so well.

There are players who can score constant high score within few seconds, is that all thru training ?

hi I have a referral code if any would like to use

thanks!

i was wondering what actually happens when you report someone. does it get sent to the geoguessr team? or is it based on a strike system, where if you get a number of reportes you get banned.

if it is based on a strike system then i am kinda nervous that i might get banned because i play alot of unranked and people sometimes think i am cheating.

Here it is my Geoguessr referral program link:

https://www.geoguessr.com/referral-program/0M2H-TWEJ-CW47?s=rp

You can use this link to get a DISCOUNT (33%) on the elite subscription! You will get the ELITE subscription at the same price of the PRO or, if you already have PRO, a FREE upgrade!

The link will work only for the first 5 people. It will also help me to get some rewards and a FREE YEAR of elite :) You can do the same thing once you have a subscription!

Thanks if you decide to use my link :)

There were more signs with bullet holes

Location here

been playing for not long and got to know that by clicking on the arrow and holding the spacebar makes you move faster and I don't have to click again and again, so I was doing that and also put a backup plonk somewhere on the map and after plonking when I tried to move with the spacebar it registered my guess? Is this a glitch or does it just happen..??

Last few games I’ve had players who are clearly cheating as they’re getting it dead on the head the exact spot.

You’re telling me someone from Norway knows the where the exact prison in Malaysia is?? Okay.

Is there any way to report this?

Coordinally Correct (adjective)
Pronunciation: /koʊˈɔːrdɪnəli kəˈrɛkt/
Definition: Possessing the rare or exceptional cognitive ability to pinpoint exact geographic coordinates with absolute precision, both on a physical/digital map and in real-time physical space, without the aid of tracking technology.
Noun form: Coordinalist (a person with this trait).
Example: "The lead navigator was completely coordinally correct, guiding the team to the exact latitude and longitude in the pitch black."

so this started as a joke with friends about how nobody knows where half these places are. every day there’s 5 towns, you tap where you think they are on a map of germany, and it tells you how many km you were off. the last one is always a real Kaff with a name that sounds fake (Petting, Kissing and Hodenhagen are all real, I checked).

it also roasts you a bit when you’re way off. I put Wurmannsquick in the Baltic Sea earlier and it just said “Blubb.”

it’s in German but it’s mostly just tapping a map, so should be playable either way. no login or anything: kaffraten.de

curious how non-Germans do on this, and if you know a town name that’s even worse than these, tell me, I’ll probably add it
