Got within 75 miles on the first try, even though I have only been to the US once in my life (and nowhere near there). Of course that’s partially just a lucky guess. But it made me ponder the giant influence of American TV and movies on my life. Playing the same game with China for example, I would have been completely and utterly lost.
don't think it's just a lucky guess, same for me. Only been to the us once, looked at it for five seconds and just thought 'somewhere near Pittsburgh' and got within 50 miles. The North-East of the US in general seems very recognizable. I sometimes play Geoguessr when I'm bored and it's always places in the South of the US that seem much harder to guess.
FWIW, today's puzzle seems particularly straightforward. I've since tried a few of the earlier ones, and sometimes was on the wrong side of the country altogether for the first try.
