28004 to beat :toocool:

27348, lost quite a few points on the third round.

Very good, must admit that was my third try, did very feebly first time around. Only got one of those touch pad things on my laptop too so at a disadvantage.

27051, will have another go later.

24291 on first go, thats fun, i like to think my geography is prety good

Yeah, that was my second go as well. It helps if you're lucky to get places where you know where they are as well.

26,570 - with fat fingers on my Samsung Galaxy SII.  Blocked at work, but will try at home later.

29084, not ba for a first go.

Up to 28,585 now.

It is really quite addictive.

Loved geography at school, locations and such like but then they had to ruin it with plate tectonics and sand dune formation etc

Some very good scores, thought i'd set a benchmark that wouldn't be bettered. Screwed up on Sofia, much closer to Greece than I thought

I haven't got more than 28,000 in my last 6 goes, I like it its proper addictive!

24,070

I'm shit

Haha same, that's why I took it at GCSE and A-Level, then learnt mostly about environmental responsibilities and advanced farming. Very dull.

26540.

What do I win?

A case of barchan up the wrong tree with that choice..

 :D Very good Reg

Human Geography and Physical Geography are very different subjects.  I used to enjoy the Physical Geography a lot more.  And Oxbow Lake Formation is one Physical Geography lesson that everyone seems to remember.

Physical geography is definitely better. I remember the oxbow lake lesson as we actually left the classroom, ditto with drumlins :)

25,112 on my first go and I studied 'Human' Geography at University! Should have done better....

P.S. 26,112 on second go! Very addictive game......

25, 451. And I have a Geography A-Level. A crap one, obviously.

27206, what's the maximum score?

good fun

26540 for me (Looks like I cut & pasted Samdy's answers)

33,000.

Just got 39,245

I'm shit

Thats pretty good :D

That's a serious productivity killer, had 3 goes around 25-27,000, usually had most places within 100 miles of their actual location. So I'd have got top marks on the RyanAir version :)

23,448. Didn't do very well.

21,165. :D

How about the UK version

http://www.geography-map-games.com/geography-games-Cities-of-UK-_pageid39.html

My first go I have got 104,450 with an average of 24km and 2.5secs.

I stagnated at around the 23K mark.

My housemate who is studying Geography got 29165

95941.

91524

96,871

Average 44km

Portree fucked me up, never heard of it.

86, 368 :( . I tended to do better on the places I'd actually heard of ;)

99,887. The Scottish places kept catching me out.

Got closer to North Shields & Dewsbury than I did to Swindon  :no:

It's been a long time  :(

92,234, first go. Great game. 2km off Stornoway but that was a fluke as I didn't even know for sure which island it's located on. 2km off Penzance. No idea about Wolverton and screwed that one up. Back for another go  ;D

86,676, got fucked over by Ullapool and a few other random ones in Scotland.

Nailed Swindon and Portsmouth.

My geography is as bad as James May's.

23,627 on the world one and then 76,993 on the UK one.

So to answer the thread title, evidently not very.

I love this, as if degree level geography is all capital city puzzles and name the countries / flags etc...
sorry will!

Was more the fact that he takes great pride in knowing this kind of thing!

So he's determined to get full marks!

Ahhhhhhhhh, just found you can get much more accurate if you play it in full screen.

Just got Derby with 0km accuracy!

92881, and I thought that was good.

98,170, second go. I like it.

Finally beat the 100k.

101961.

And that was with taking a complete wild guess on the location of Huyton with Roby.

102,364.

102,365

102,564.

102,563.  You've got me.

I rule.

104,118.

Took me 5th go to get over 100K then got 105,258

106k+....but then I do have the advantage that I do know where most of the random Scottish places are!!!

Get the fuck in there. 101,396, about the fifteenth attempt. I'll always know where to locate Dornoch, Fraserburgh, Fort William, Inverness and Haverfordwest on a map from now on! The city/town boroughs being included on the map make it easier to pinpoint with accuracy, like Brighton, Southend, Swindon and Torquay.

Great game.

66933 on the UK one which is really frustrating as i'm a geography nerd and playing this on my work computer is like playing when drunk as the mouse just shoots off in random directions  >:(

86,596 but i did get 2km away from Burnley ( despite not really knowing where it was )
