Good link I did Level 6 with a 91 IQ b I'm not being too hard on myself because I accidentally clicked 13500 km on one and 10000 another that ended a pretty good round.

After some practice I got to level 8, 266,000 pts. Never heard of some of those places. Yeah the map is small and Hawaii is about invisible.

I got to lever 10 at 118 IQ. Although I spent 20 traveling around the world I never got to Africa and that is where I lost points.

I got a travel IQ of 90, but all those places in Ireland, Luxembourg and Israel really help out. Once you're in the country you can't be too far off target!

120. i always seem to end up there.


the trick is to be fast and in the general area

i used to try and nail exactly where the city or place is and id always be off. some locations are quite completely off. i know where nigeria is. where cameroun is. where mauritius and swaziland are. but the pointers accuracy is sucky to put it mildly.

with a bigger map i could be more accurate. but if its gonna try to cheat me, im just gonna be fast and in the region.
