DEDICATED FANS of Google Street View, which lets users explore cities and towns around the world via panoramic street-level imagery, have come up with dozens of applications for the tool, from house-hunting, to holiday planning, to experimental art. The most entertaining use of the service may be “Geoguessr”, a game created in 2013 by Anton Wallén, a Swedish IT consultant.
According to our analysis, Japan is by far the most recognisable country. Geoguessr players dropped there correctly guessed their location 64% of the time; those dropped elsewhere incorrectly guessed Japan just 9% of the time. In second place is America, which players guessed correctly 79% of the time and incorrectly 40% of the time. Russia ranks third, followed by Italy, Brazil and Britain .
Germany and Switzerland are home to the best Geoguessr players, followed by France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. At the bottom of our list is Turkey, followed by Russia and America, where players correctly guessed their location just 45% of the time. Geoguessr scores do however depend on how close the guesser is in kilometres to the right location. If borders are involved, some guessers might score highly even when they plump for the wrong country.
Such results should be taken with a big pinch of salt. Not all countries are included in Google Street View. Of those that are, many have incomplete coverage. Most streets in Germany, for example, are missing from Google Maps because of privacy concerns; China is also missing, with the exceptions of Macau and Hong Kong. With those caveats, it is still pleasing to be the country with the landscapes and cityscapes considered most distinctive.
