So I started not far from my home, but on the longest most pointless road there possibly is. Bigfoot trail in South Dakota. I haven't seen anything more than a couple run down farm houses in my many miles traveled down this road. Fuckin national grassland. Would hate to run out of gas along this road. Would probably kill you.
I spawned in some hic-ass town in Nebraska.
Gosh, i do not know if i go left or right.
lost within 5 mins...
First time I showed up somewhere in Texas. Flat lands everywhere. Thought "I'll have to hit a city sometime!", going East and South, thinking either I'll run into an interstate or the ocean.
Didn't find either and then a tornado came along and killed me (not really, but that would had been cool).
Second time, I was in Cincinnati. Seeing how I live near Louisville I thought all I had to do was find I-71 or 75 S. Managed to get to I-75N instead, with no South exits... fortunately I was near 74 so I knew where I was. West-central Cincinnati instead of the south.
On top of it, the silly thing doesn't seem to handle overpasses really well. I click and suddenly pop up either above or below it, or on the wrong highway.
Wonder how I'm going to explain that to the cops.
Holy shit I was just running around UK when I saw the streetview with a guy stealing a purse from an old lady

How do I get to Australia from here, its in the uk
Wow this is bullshit, I just spent 10 minutes trying to navigate my way out of this nightmare for a suburb and I fucking somehow ended up back where I started. Fuck.
No idea where I am but there are a fuckload of trees and only like one road now.. hopin' I'm going the right way.
I just got to the end of this highway and there's apparently no more streetview roads, gotta go back apparently. :(

I think I should have turned left instead of right...
I spawned in the middle of Berlin and found an Autobahn after a few minutes. Unfortunately, Autobahns haven't been filmed outside our cities, so I can never get to Munich this way.
I lost patience before I got out of Berlin anyway, because when I clicked on the road in Autobahn tunnels it kept teleporting me to the fucking surface and I had to find another entrance ramp.
Mapcrunched straight to my home town, part of it I know no less.. industrial park next to a Sainsburys 10 mins away from my house
Shake it, baby

Wow this is a beautiful piece of road. When I ever make up some serious cash I'm going to ride up here, there's a whole bunch of great looking curves.
And every couple pics has a bike in it so it's gotta be good!
[QUOTE=HendoV2;28505581]swim[/QUOTE]
I would but streetview doesn't reach :saddowns:
Just did it. It only took me about 20 minutes, seeing as I was quite close to where I live.

I just looked at the map and realised I was about 1/10th of the way home after an hour and 30mins of clicking. Game over.
Managed to get home after about an hour of clicking down some really tedious side roads because I was following the signs... It was fantastic seeing my home town on a sign after about 15 mins of hopelessly wandering around some town called 'Drontfield'
This is actually strangely adicting. I just completed my second run.
[QUOTE=Micr0;28498535]Goddamnit, Canada is the worst. I always end up spawning thousands of miles away. Who the fuck has the patience to drive from Western Yukon to Southern Ontario?[/QUOTE]
That sucks, I spawned in Quebec somewhere.
Montreal to be exact.
Holy fuck, It's weird when you spawn at a place you know. I spawned outside an farm/icecream parlor 20 minutes from my house.
You remember the surroundings but are not sure, walk around a bit. Then you walk past a bar you know, realise you're in a town about 20 minutes bicycle distance from your house. see way signs etc. I also came across the blurred out face of my aunt and a few old classmates on my way home.
Altough there's no virtual reward, standing in front of your house feels VERY rewarding.
It's like waking up on besides a farm road with an extreme hangover.
I spammed go enough.
Spawned on the street a family member lives in the same city.
But like I said:
[QUOTE=nikomo;28495096]If I manage to spawn near the E18/1 motorway, I'll find home real fucking easy.[/QUOTE]
The thing is, the E18 is pretty new. Before that was built, there was a small road connecting Turku and Helsinki. It's called the 110 nowadays.

Judging by this picture, the Street View images are about a year or two old.

Oh wow, both my parents were home when the Street View car came by.

Well, fuck yeah, I found home.

Even the Street View guys get hungry I suppose.
Also.

Restarted, I discerned from a flag by a church that I'm in Texas.
