It's a game where you get better the more you play. You recognize different roads and languages and climates. When I use Google as a tool, I can get over 30,000. When I play without cheating (using anything other than the provided) I usually get over 10,000. My friend and I invented a hardcore mode, where you can only use the first image they give you and you can't turn the camera or move around, and then you have to click on the place on the world map without zooming the map at all. After a couple rounds of hardcore mode we managed to get around 11,000 in one go, but we usually average much lower.
