	You forgot to have us guess in order again :) But great quiz as usual!

	@anywherewithyou- Considering that these were from all over the world, I didn't think there was a high likelihood that you would accidentally get one while guessing another incorrectly. But for consistency's sake, I'll change it since all the others were set that way. Glad you liked it though!

	Hey, I can see my house from here! (The one I lived in off Gilmore in the 90s)

	Another great quiz in the series, well done.

	great quiz. I know it's nitpicking, and I don't know if it's the case with any of the other images, but the Vancouver one is actually Burnaby, which is a separate city, though within the 'Metro Vancouver' area.

	number 8 is just brilliant!

Comment below threshold: show it

	Dang. Was typing in "rio" for the last one as time ran out. Frustrating, but a pretty good indication that the time given is just about perfect.

	I love the random Japanese in Riyadh.

	The Casablanca one with "Rick's Cafe" was pretty cool.

	@folio1701- I was trilled to see that there actually is a Rick's Cafe in Casablanca.

	I think this is actually the easiest one of these you've done yet :) Only three from each row were showing up in IE, but it's fine in Firefox.

	Did you try the Hybrid feature of Google maps or does this way actually look better? Because I think the Hybrid option would be a good quiz as well.

	great quiz! really cool

	Hejman:	Jan 7th, 2011 at 03:42 GMT	1 point
	@mrpotwtf69- I agree that the mixed feature (it's now called "terrain" instead of hybrid) would be a neat look. I wanted, for these quizzes, to maintain the traditional look of a road atlas that the basic Google maps provides.

	Love the quiz. But I wish you could set it up so that we could see the map next to the guessing box. I think I lost a lot of time simply scrolling up and down. Guess wrong (for example, for the Trans-Canada highway one), scroll up, look again for a clue, guess again, scroll up again . . . But I love the overall concept.

	Great quiz, time just about right. (I got them all with 47 seconds left.) Now if only your puzzles showed up when searching the Sporkle site.

	What IS up with the random Japanese in Riyadh?

	Hejman:	Jan 9th, 2011 at 02:03 GMT	3 points
	The funny thing is that the random Japanese is actually the names of two American hotel chains. I have no idea why Google maps shows them in Japanese in the middle of an Arabic speaking country. I did think, though, that having just a bit of the Japanese text gave that map segment a bit of a challenging twist.

	I'm still wondering why it's written in Japanese for Riyadh...But I knew it couldn't be in Japan with the other names.
