The Navigation Game

[HavokFour]

Alright! Lets see how good your navigation skills are!  >

1. Go to http://www.mapcrunch.com/
2. Choose your country on the right panel (hard mode, choose a foreign country)
3. Above the minimap (located under the list of countries) on the right, click "hide location"
4. Click on main screen, press "N" to spawn at a random location.
5. Find your way to the nearest airport.

RULES:

1. You may only use the compass given, signs, addresses, anything you see along the roads/trails.
2. No Googling.
3. No using road maps.
4. No setting it to "by city"!
5. No using translators.


This is an example of an attempt I made that took 2 hours. As you can see I appear to be lost, maybe in the prairies.  ???

​

Edit: Super Hard Manly mode, select all countries and hit "N".

Bloody hell. I spawned with the select all, hit n, and am on some bloody deserted country road where it appears everyone knows the area well enough to need no road signs.

Added: Aha! I'm in Texas!

Added: Farm to Market Road 2264 might be the longest, most boring road in the world.

Added: Ugh. Screw this. I don't feel like spending the next hour on the highway to Dallas.

I attempted this for about 20 minutes before I came to the solid conclusion that there is absolutely nothing in Saskatchewan; people, places, nor road signs.

I did a little math in my head and realized that I couldn't possibly click and load new images much faster than a vehicle on the highway, and that I might have doomed myself to four or five hours of staring at Saskatchewan prairie.

I'm quite happy to admit that I've lost the game.
