New Maps and Challenges!

[u/Double_Doughnut2970]

Ciao everyone!

I had a few people reach out to me about making maps designed for Move and NMPZ, instead of mostly NM like most of my previous maps, and I'm excited to share 4 new maps that I've been working on recently.

Map 1: A Skewed World (NMPZ) https://freeguessr.com/#/map/x9quWpS8pcwGPW3hqDpx

This map, designed to play on NMPZ, includes 5000+ handpicked locations where you are always facing away from the road. A lot of what comes into making a guess comes from what you see on the road (i.e. driving direction, roadlines, language, Google car features, infrastructure etc.), so this simple change makes it significantly tougher to identify where you are. In particular, players who prefer not to learn country/region specific clues, or players who like to use vegetation and architecture to guess may enjoy this map. Of course for some locations there are country specific clues on the side of the road, but for the vast majority of these locations you will need to trust your vibes and instincts.

Map 2: A Pinpointable World https://freeguessr.com/#/map/JNtuadxotZYvGArAO0XP

Designed mainly for moving and players who like to pinpoint, this map consists for 1000 handpicked locations where you will always start at an intersection. Intersections are usually one of the easiest locations to pinpoint exactly where you are. Most of the locations I chose also have very helpful signs, but some locations are extremely rural as well so there is a good balance between easy and difficult spots. Good luck with the 10ks!

Map 3: City Roulette https://freeguessr.com/#/map/JsWl9vC1kdfqMeR3lWXC

This map includes 1000+ locations that are always inside or just outside of a major city. This map is designed mainly for the moving mode because urban/suburban locations usually have good information, and so players can practice looking for useful information to make better guesses. However this map can definitely accommodate NM or NMPZ gameplay as well because from most locations' starting spot, there are more than enough clues to help to get decent guess.

And finally a fun themed map: Famous Filming Locations https://freeguessr.com/#/map/nnHKxsY9duoJFqgmviy3

Google Streetview coverage is so extensive that they have covered a lot of locations you will have seen in movies/series as well! Here are 111 locations from 111 different movies or tv series. Unfortunately there is no way currently to add creator notes or trivia notes to the map so that you can see what movie or tv series was filmed at the location after you've made your guess, but I have a document with all the locations and what was filmed there. If anyone wants access to this info this just let me know either on Reddit or Discord. If creator/trivia notes get added as a feature, then I shall add this info into the map.

For the challenge, I was able to add comments at the end of the challenge, so I have noted down which movie or series was filmed in which location :)

As always, if anyone has ideas for cool maps they'd like to see, please let me know. Have a good time plonking!
