        Getting better at this. First I get two that are actually on the right continent then this
        Your guess was 436.092 km from the correct location and gave 2492 points
        for one in Florida.

        It's more about vegetation, road markings, makes of car etc. than actual geography.

        Off to take charge of the dinner now.

          Yes, I think that's right - my score (15070) owed considerably more to deduction and educated guesswork than it did to geographical knowledge! Excellent game, though, which could expand my long-list of possible holiday destinations.

            True... actually, the main quest is for road signs.

            My most recent round had 5 clues all in N America - I managed 23941 based on 3 pictures where I found road signs (including to the picnic area and look-out point at the southern end of the very picturesque Kinaskan Lake in British Columbia, Canada - I take your point about holiday destinations, Rolmill!)
            "...the isle is full of noises,
            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

              Sorry, still not working for me. I'm on Windows Vista. Clicking on black screen produces nothing.
