A locational knowledge quiz for Geographers.  I have posted about GeoGuessr back in 2013.  Click here to see my post about it.  Today I have another Geography game based on Street View.

From there website, "Study the place shown in the photograph. Where is it on the big map?
Try interacting with the image or slideshow to look for more information about the location.
Find the location on the map and click the red dot to make your choice, then check your answer. Remember that there are clues to help you."  To see the website click here.

GeoGuessr

I saw this this last year and thought I posted about it.  Looks like I did not, so I am now.  Developed by Swedish IT professional Anton Wallen, GeoGuessr provides visuals from around the world using Google Maps’ street view. The game shows an unidentified scene and invites players to guess where it is by placing a marker on a world map. Students can make guesses based on terrain, road signs and other clues, and score points based on how close their guesses   are.  You can create a Challenge and test your friends or better yet, your students.  To see the site click here.   Speaking of GeoGuessr, the cartoon below is by xkcd.  I like xkcd and you can check out their site by clicking here.
