Single Shot of 15774!

Pretty close on a Canadian one because when they love to put "north" on all their rough ridin' signs.  I went with New Zealand on one, breaking my own rule of "when in doubt, pick Australia"

That's a great "single spot" score.

got 7400 on your silly "single spot" round, mostly because i got planted right in front of a sign that said exactly where it was.

they give you the option to zoom, so it isn't cheating.  it's up to you to use your knowledge to decide what language the sign is in, etc.

either way, i can't crack 6,000

If you do more than turn 360 and/or zoom, then it's Free Style.  It's not WRONG, it's just a different event.

Eastern Europe is my weak spot.

It's so small though, so your odds of getting completely mumped are pretty low

after a few times you start to figure out regions based on the cars on the road, the people walking around, languages on buildings, etc.

Best Single Shot so far, at 13540.  I really mumped one up bad, and choose Mexico instead of Spain.

Single Spot of 13540

I was put in front of a school that said "Skola". So easy, because I know Skola is Swedish for school.


Nope, Bosnia.  :flush:

I'd seen it before. There is a "North Mart" that's very distinctive. They need to expand this crap.

"A" was very easy because Korean characters are very easy to spot and S. Korea is a tiny country.

And "C" had a sign for Ft. Lauderdale Beach.

I'm starting to notice they use Norway a lot, so not a bad guess if you're confused.
