![]() ![]() Checking this tag would allow the map editor to only select regular Streetview locations. The only thing Geoguessr can do is to add a check for not selecting photosphere instead of the regular blue line, as photospheres have a specific tag in the API. The Mano del Desierto is a good example: on the map you only see one straight road that randomly ends, but in reality the car did a loop around the hand and that's why th pin will be placed not on the road but around the hand location (and then it will select a photosphere because it is closer than the blue line). And when you add a location on Geoguessr, it will save the GPS location and not the blue line location because that's how the Maps API works. Looking at satellite view often shows the shift. This happens because Google Maps is not actually very accurate in terms of road placement on the map. Most of time you'll guess right in the middle of the road on the map, but the exact location will be a bit off (sometimes it can be off more than 40m). Basically the panoramas that make Streetview are not located on the blue line, but placed according to the GPS data of the Google car. Some of the things in this same place as above are displaced too, for example: sure people were already aware of most of these, but here they are listed if this could be helpful for anything and fixing them.Īll of this is linked to how Google Maps work and only Google can change that. This too can mess up the location selection, although I think this could rather be a problem from Google, as it's probably the same on Google Maps. ![]() Certain photospheres are displaced and aren't actually found at their actual location where there is a blue circled dot on the map, but when you click on them, the pin is displaced somewhere else. This window could also solve some of the other problems also listed in this thread.ĥ. ![]() One solution could be to add that dropdown window which appears on Google Maps in the bottom and which shows all the photospheres in the location you are looking at, and let us select from there, though I don't know how this would work and whether it's implementable and/or viable. When there are a lot of photospheres stacked up on the exact same location, which can happen if the photospheres aren't put at their exact GPS location, or if they don't have one, and they are instead just listed under a place name where they are found, you can only select one photosphere which is on top, and the other ones are inaccessible. Stacked Up Photospheres Cannot Be Selected: This problem can, for example, happen if you try to select street view at the end of this same road I linked above: and is probably also a google problem, as I see it happens on Google Maps too, but it seems less than in GeoGuessr when clicking on Save Location.Ĥ. The solution to this though can be to select a different part of the road and then move to the location in the location window to your desired spot along the street view. When there are a lot of photospheres near a streetviewed part, there is no way to select the street view that is inbeetween them, because wherever you click you'll end up in a photosphere, which is selected even if you click nearby to it. Cannot Select Streetview Locations from Nearby Photospheres: Happens, for example, on the roads in Kentucky, which have both the official and custom street view.ģ. This is after the maps are created, the location can change on itself if there is a photosphere or custom street view added very near to it. Location Jumping to Another When a Photosphere or Custom Street View is Added Nearby: It can especially happen if the locations are displaced (described below under point no. When you click Save Location in the map maker on a location, sometimes it can jump to another nearby location if it's close to it. Location Jumping to Another When Clicking Save Location: Here are all the minor bugs related to location selection in the map maker editor:ġ. ![]()
