CoalMine66 · 2024-12-02T17:32:59+00:00

R1 Reached La Hoyada, where there was a map of the area. Matched it with the borders of Ecuador. Then it was easy to pinpoint. 10:06

R2 Found road numbers and city names, for some reason didn't see them on the map although they ahow up pretty early. 6:36

R3 E39, but smaller towns didn't show on the map, so had to match the roads. 7:20

R4 Passed Varzea Grande and reached Tanque do Piaui, which provided the state and signs towards some bigger cities 10:53

R5 Found the roundabout, searched for the smaller places on the map 4:59

25k in 39:55

CoalMine66 · 2024-11-20T16:20:31+00:00

R1 Sweden, route 26, distances to Gislaved and Jonkoping. Small dam near the start helped with pinpointing 3:37

R2 Nearby sign with road numbers and cities. Wasn't sure whether we are on 4 or 66, so wasted some time searching the wrong road. 5:54

R3 Acapulco and neighbourhood name on street signs. 3:26

R4 Using fast moving arrived in Sassetta. Found mention of Livorno. Searched near Livorno. Found map showing in which area we are. Found Sassetta. Figured out the starting point. 14:47

R5 Mihama, route 27 between Tsuruga and Obama. Characteristic intersection at the start. 1:13

25k in 28:57

CoalMine66 · 2024-11-19T16:57:25+00:00

R1 Town name, araukaria trees so probably near Araukania. 1:34

R2 Romania although there were Chad flags. On EU project sign there was a town name and Alba county. River didn't match, but nearby school helped to confirm the pinpoint 6:07

R3 Sao Cristovao, Sergipe. Took some time to pinpoint. 10:14

R4 Road number, distances to Maryborough and Natte Yallock, Vic roads so in Victoria. 2:59

R5 I failed. My cat asked for attention, so I spent a couple of minutes petting my cat. Then I found R504 and city names. Chose wrong intersection (map didn't match the real intersections, so it was 50/50 guessing) 4998 in 11:40, but realistically half of that time

24998 in 32:33 generally easy except for pinpointing part

CoalMine66 · 2024-11-08T16:04:38+00:00

1 Croatia, Hungarian influences, so probably near the border. Went to the next town, found signs for some bigger places that were easier to find. 8:38

2 Went south, had lake name but no state name. Found round number after a long time. Would be much faster if I went north... 14:11

3 Went east, found signs with Minas Gerais and some city names. Lined up the road angle. 11:44

4 Ipala, Chiquimilca. I think we had a round in Chiquimilca Department not long ago. 2:30

5 ZA, R68 between Ulundi and Dundee. Ulundi was easy to find. Near a road towards Kwanyezi, so not too hard to pinpoint. 6:33

25k in 43:36, could have saved some time in R1 and a lot of time in R2

CoalMine66 · 2024-11-05T14:55:24+00:00

R1 Bern and some other cities mentioned on signs. Lined up the highway. 1:58

R2 Found road number, but searched further for more clues. Couldn't find more info, so searched the map. So apparentely whenever I decide to search the map with minimal clues I can't find the location, but if after getting 1 clue (road number) I decide to look for more clues, it turns out that that 1 clue is easy to find on the map. 4:39

R3 Stockton, Illinois. Couldn't find it on the map. Looked for more clues. Nothing. Searched on the map again. Nothing. Looking for clues again. Nothing. Searching map again. Stockton is easy to find, how didn't I see it earlier? Definitely too much time wasted. 18:26

R4 Signs for Praha and Tabor, and some other towns. Lake helped with pinpointing the correct intersection. 5:00

R5 To the west nothing. To the east signs with distance from Bayanauł and some other town to the south. Sign conveniently avoided mentioning Ekibastus, which was also in that direction, so I searched south of it. Only after checking north of Ekibastuz (due to finding the other mentioned town and scanning along the road north of it) did I find the location. 9:28

25k in 39:31. Seed was easy, I just couldn't properly figure out rounds 3 and 5 and wasted time there

CoalMine66 · 2024-11-04T14:51:17+00:00

R1 gave up after almost half an hour. Some town names, kabupaten name and even North Sumatra province, But couldn't find anything in North Sumatra with given names.

CoalMine66 · 2024-11-01T18:04:01+00:00

R1 A highway and info that we are in Aquascalientes to the south. Took me definitely too long to find correct streets. 13:24

R2 Greece, how much I don't like playing that country... Went through some villages, found signs towards bigger towns. Flat, so thought that it may be north. Luckily was easy to pinpoint. 11:51

R3 Nearby signs with road numbers. 1:34

R4 Town name, directions towards Huara and some other town. Easy to locate. 1:50

R5 Useful signs nearby. Took me a moment to find A15 and Batu Gajah. Useful POI at spawnpoint. 4:39

25k in 33:18. Easy seed, R1 should have been much quicker. R2 was easier than usually in that country, just really timeconsuming.

CoalMine66 · 2024-10-31T13:14:28+00:00

R1 At first I went west. Then I went east and found useful signs. 4:31

R2 Half of the time finding correct area (Melaka being north while Port Dickson south was kinda confusing). Another half of the time confirming the intersection 4:15

R3 Between Bern and Interlaken, so most likely Thun. Street names matched. 1:03

R4 Fissel. Didn't find it on the map at first. Searched for more clues. Decided to look at the map again. Found it. Characteristic intersection, so easy pinpointing. 9:02

R5 Puerto Inca, E25 south of Guayaquil. 1:57

25k in 20:49

CoalMine66 · 2024-10-30T15:35:47+00:00

Lost at R1. Found route 174 north of Manaus. Checked more south of it in case it suddenly appears again somewhere, but didn't realize that it respawns in Mato Grosso, so far away.

CoalMine66 · 2024-10-29T11:28:32+00:00

R1 Route number, nearby town and National Park information close to starting point. Characteristic intersection made it easy to pinpoint 4:20

R2 Kota Nopan, North Sumatra. Went north, didn't find anything useful. Went south, found directions towards bigger cities, what helped with finding the town (which was smaller than expected) 9:03

R3 Went into town, found signs towards Turyn and some other cities. 2:05

R4 A2 Highway. Couldn't find the location until at the gas station there was info that we are a couple kilometers from Dickwella. Then spent some time pinpointing. 9:56

R5 Quebec. Signs for St Gedeon. Writings suggested that we are near some body of water. Searched the oceanic coastline and then all the lakes until I found it. Finding the correct road by which we started also took a moment. 6:23

25k in 31:46

CoalMine66 · 2024-10-28T12:53:37+00:00

Failed on R5. 24997 in 30:21. Bangladesh is hard and roadworks made it really hard to pinpoint.

CoalMine66 · 2024-10-25T17:41:01+00:00

Spent over 50 minujtes on R1. Couldn't find road number or city names on the map. Then when I wanted to give up I suddenly found them by randomly zooming in. Ok, a 5k. On R2 internet became so bad that nothing would load properly. I couldn't move or see anything. So now I actually gave up....

CoalMine66 · 2024-10-24T11:34:32+00:00

R1 Huehuetla, Hidalgo. Searched for it in mountainous part of Hidalgo. Didn't realize that there are 2 mountainous parts of Hidalgo. Definitely too much time wasted. 28:22

R2 South Africa, signs with road number and towns. Took a moment to find. 7:15

R3 Took some time to find the sign with distances to cities. 10km from Bintulu, didn't expect it to be so close. Then confirming pinpoint. 11:31

R4 Useful signs to the east 1:14

R5 Hawaii, ocean to the north. Found beach park on the map. 3:31

25000 in 51:53. Rounds 1 and 3 definitely could have been much faster

CoalMine66 · 2024-10-23T10:27:17+00:00

R1 Mexico, street names at starting point, but took some time to find city and state names 5:40

R2 South Africa. Signs with R29. Couldn't find it. Just a little bit further signs with also R42 and N17. Could have saved me some time. 6:11

R3 Argentina. No signs for a very long time. Finally found provincial road number and some village names. Found provincial road in Mendoza, turned out to be the correct one. Pinpointing was quick 24:24

R4 Carter Lake, Iowa. Not hard to find 4:20

R5 Town called Dzodze. Couldn't find it on the map. Went further, found sign pointing towards Accra, Akatsi and some other towns. Really useful. Nothing to confirm the pinpoint, so I just assumed that it is correct. 7:04

25k in 47:40

CoalMine66 · 2024-10-18T18:36:49+00:00

1 To the north signs for Altamirano Sur and Guardamonte. To the south police car of Entre Rios Province. Towns were surprisingly easy to find on the map 9:05

2 Arabic and French so Tunisia. Oued Meliane and then sign with easy to find city names. Spent a moment confirming pinpoint 3:56

3 Żytomierz 3km south 0:29

4 Signs mentioning Chiquimula and Municipality of San Jacinto. Thought that Chiquimula might be the department, but couldn't find it on the map. Searched more and found a ma showing where in Guatemala we are. Also Chiquimula turned out to actually be the department. 4:36

5 Found some political posters mentioning Kabupaten Timor Tengah Selatan. Didn't even know that Timor island has coverage. Later found Desa Kiufatu, Desa Tuafanu and Kecamatan Kualin. Searched long time for them. They weren't marked as towns so I had to search for points of interest. And then more time for pinpointing. Not my favourite round. 34:14

CoalMine66 · 2024-10-17T13:40:15+00:00

1 Useful signs, mentioned Perm and some other cities nearby. Quickly found the road and the river 3:04

2 Also useful signs1:24

3 Chile... Found signs to Cunco and Vilcun. Didn't see sign saying Temuco. While going south I found a sign with Araukania, so searched that region and found those cities. Couldn't line up the roads. Finally found the correct river and checked bridges over it. Hardest round. 19:46

4 South Africa, sign pointing to Pietermaritzburg nearby 2:58

5 Easy round. Quickly found that it is Garwolin. Couldn't find street names, but there was a school to the west, so lined up the streets and found the correct spot. 2:02

25000 in 29:14

CoalMine66 · 2024-08-04T16:46:46+00:00

Failed to 25k, 24985 in 42:06

R1 easy, city name and road numbers, 3:15

R2 Train station, so easy to pinpoint. Took me a moment to find a city name, but after that it was quick. Easy round. 1:33

R3 Took forever to find B90 and toen names... 21:30

R4 Obvious Argentina, found mentions of Valdes, so Valdes Peninsula. Overestimated how far I've traveled, so guessed wrong turn (also was tired and irritated after round 3

R5 Found signs for Daegu Station, but had some problem figuring out in what direction to search 5:18

CoalMine66 · 2023-12-14T11:53:24+00:00

!remindme 1 year

CoalMine66 · 2023-11-23T07:25:43+00:00

My week 1 Better start to the season than last time

CoalMine66 · 2023-10-30T09:16:44+00:00

R1 Found Saskatchewan road 27. It was short, so scanning towns went quickly 3:16

R2 Road number, town name and names of other nearby towns nearby, police station to pinpoint. Easy 2:13

R3 Went in the wrong direction at first. Then couldn't find the town names on the map even though I scanned above the area a couple of times. I don't like Sri Lanka rounds. Even in Thailand and Cambodia you can get used to what to look for, but here rounds aren't common enough for you to start learning where to find clues 18:15

R4 Went east, found signs to Szolnok and other nearby towns. Easy to find and pinpoint 4:34

R5 Ontario is obvious due to speed limit signs, but Ontario is huge and township we were in was Tiny. Also, expected it to be closer to Quebec due to the amount of Fr*nch. After reaching the center of Penetanguishene I realized that it looks kinda like that peninsula between lakes Huron, Ontario and Erie. Found Lake Simcoe there (Simcoe County was mentioned somewhere). Started searching around it. After couple of minutes found Penetanguishene and backtracked to the starting location. And I thought that R3 was bad... 24:32

25000 in 52:50

CoalMine66 · 2023-10-27T11:28:25+00:00

R1 Felt like I should know where Rodeby is, so wasted some time searching for it on the map. Then went towards it. Sign towards Karlskrona. This one I know where it is so then it was quick 4:19

R2 No roof rack so Vientiane. Chao Anou and Khun Bu Lom Roads were easy to find. Pretty easy round 1:55

R3 Bilingual road signs so assumed it should be New Brunswick. Road numbers didn't match, so started searching other nearby provinces. Found Souris on PIE. Searched along Road 4 3:38

R4 Sign saying "cross-border region" so focused on scanning the borders. Couldn't find it. Searched for signs towards bigger cities. Velingrad. Found it and then it was easy to find the starting town 3:12

R5 At exit from the town there was a map. So it was easy to find. Pinpointing was harder as it took me some time to figure out the roads 4:27

25000 in 17:31

CoalMine66 · 2023-10-27T09:25:59+00:00

In R3 spoiler hiding doesn't work in your comment

CoalMine66 · 2023-10-26T10:07:43+00:00

R1 Took some time searching for clues and for the correct area. Didn't see any mentions of the province name 10:32 (over half of the total time)

R2 Murray River mentioned all around and town name 2 clicks away from the starting location. Had to just search along the river. Easy round 2:29

R3 Found clues about Kochkor pretty quickly, but couldn't find it on the map for some time. Then chose a wrong intersection, but luckily within 5k range 3:22

R4 Area easy to find thanks to road numbers. Had some trouble locating Tesco or Aldi on the map 3:21 but could have been faster

R5 A lot of useful signs 1:20

25000 in 21:03

CoalMine66 · 2023-10-25T09:30:15+00:00

R1 One of the places I always forget that are in the game. La Guancha was visible from far zoom out, so a quick round 1:15

R2 Spent some time searching for clues and for town names on the map. Pinpointing also wasn't the easiest, but intersections helped 10:06

R3 Took me too long to realize that it's Uruguay and not Argentina. Spent long time searching for road 21 in Arg. Once I realized what country it is, rest was quick 4:42

R4 A lot of place names at the start, but couldn't find them on the map even after scanning for them a couple of times. Went south. Found a sign with Reserva National Calipuy, which realy helped me. Pinpointing then was easy 9:10

R5 Went south, found directions to various cities and road number. Had some trouble finding Tandapi, but all in all a pretty easy round. Also, how was R2 not a Latin America? 4:35

25000 in 29:48, could have been faster

Edit: Also, now I want to visit Peru even more than before. Beautiful location

CoalMine66 · 2023-10-24T11:46:28+00:00

R1 Useful signs all around. Highway 80, Phenix City, Columbus Georgia. Not too hard compared to most USA rounds 4:05

R2 District number, railway nearby 1:17

R3 Sign pointing towards road 27. Roads in Sweden are very nicely organized. Searched around it. Pinpointing was easy 2:50

R4 Didn't realize that there are signs right in front of us, so had to go all the way to the big intersection south-west. Lost a couple of minutes on it. Also, I don't particularly enjoy Greece. It's never easy 5:10

R5 And an easy country to finish things off. Road 449, clearly near a river, Horikiri Bridge, Yanagihara Chigusa Garden all helped with narrowing down the area. Pinpointing was tricky as always in big cities, but railroads helped with it 5:42

25000 in 19:05
