zmurko 7,622 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) Had an idea that is similar to the Snapmatic Photo Scavenger Hunt, but set in the real world. It works similar: - someone takes a photo of a place near them and posts it here - the rest of us then try to locate the photo (or the spot from where it was taken) on Google maps. Sounds fun? Some sort of a clue on the photo would be good, otherwise at least help us with narrowing down the search area to something reasonable, so we dont end up searching entire London for example. And I guess we can start off with one of mine that I've already posted on the forum here: http://i.imgur.com/yOePBO6.jpg Clues don't get more clear than this. And if anyone still doesn't know, I live in Slovenia, so it's a pretty small search area and Google Street View is available in Slovenia too.

zmurko 7,622 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Very good Jesse, you only missed it by few meters, but yeah, it was taken from that highway overpass. Now it's your turn if you want to do this. If not, anyone can jump in with a challenge. 1 Quote S U N D A Y R A C I N G L E A G U E Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/3595-game-worldwide-photo-detective/#findComment-59635 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmurko 7,622 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Sounds good Token, go for it. I need to browse through my photo gallery to see if I have any photos that could be easy enough to find.

zmurko 7,622 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 2nd challenge! I took this photo, but NOT in Slovenia: http://i.imgur.com/CKGPKMO.jpg Any motorsport fan should quickly recognize the place. Only thing that's left to do is find the spot from where it was taken. Again, Google Street View is your friend.

It was taken from the Palace courtyard: https://www.google.fr/maps/@43.731323,7.4216294,3a,30y,22.28h,84.73t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sFGqhrspozubiROWgTMzslg!2e0 Anyone got a new challenge? Fido?
