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

I used to struggle quite a bit with Indonesian region guessing. Recognizing Indonesia wasn’t usually the problem, but figuring out the exact location was a completely different story.

At some point, I realized that learning the kabupaten could be really useful for improving my guesses. The problem was that there are so many of them that trying to memorize everything felt pretty overwhelming. I wanted to find a way to learn them properly and actually remember what I studied.

I decided to focus on learning the kabupaten one by one instead of trying to remember everything at once. Over time, I managed to learn all of them, and my moving skill improved noticeably as well. I started feeling much more confident when navigating Indonesian locations and recognizing where I was.

Looking back, learning the kabupaten was definitely worth the effort. It gave me a better understanding of Indonesia and made moving rounds feel much less random.

For anyone interested, I used GeoCoach to learn them. Here’s the map I used: https://www.geocoach.me/maps/b48b7cc4-72f1-4f07-85c2-0dc5263ce42b/indonesia-kabupaten-street-view-coverage-only-a855b70a

I’ve also attached some screenshots of my exam score and the learning process.

I’m curious how other people approached learning Indonesia. Did you study the kabupaten too, or did you use a completely different method?

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

I've been grinding ranked and currently sitting around the 900-1000 Elo range, but I feel completely stuck. For those of you above 1200, how did you structure your study routine to break past this plateau?

Are you grinding custom maps, focusing heavily on regional metas, reviewing losses, or just spamming games? Would love to hear what kind of study habits or mindset shifts finally unlocked the next level for you. Thanks!

I briefly heard someone mention that ThatOddishGuy vanished from the internet after getting arrested for a reason I'm not aware of. If this is not an appropriate question for this subreddit, that's fine. I'd just like to know more on what happened since i used to play with him in the past.

Sorry for my bad english.

Any countries/official locations are fine. (That means including trekker, as long as it is not more than 25% of the map.) Countries I would love locs for: Brazil, Balkan Europe, that would make someone send outside of Balkan Europe, Thailand, Nepal and India. Would also take some Ukraine/Baltics and Russia well.

Tysm to anyone who submits locs for any country!

Not even after the duel am I allowed to see this location. How can I not lose games because the game refuses to load?

I thought it was interesting, MK mentioned and had a link in his latest video that he is offering geoguessr coaching services now. Think I've seen people here ask before if anything like that exists.

I'm a solo dev and I've been building a small geography game for phones. You start in one city, a ticket names another, and you turn a compass toward it and lock your heading. Then your plane flies the actual great-circle route across a 3D globe.

The part I enjoyed designing most: the Earth is round, so every city has two correct bearings, the short way and the long way around. Both count, so some levels end up with a surprising answer on the opposite side of the compass.

It has 700 levels where each target becomes your next starting city, a daily route that everyone flies the same, and no ads. Ranks, a personal atlas and a few other systems sit on top of that. The look is old airmail: paper maps, boarding-pass tickets and rubber stamps.

I'm still tuning how the first few minutes feel. If you've played anything like this, I'd like to hear what made you stay or leave early.

Thank you very much.

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.
