considering that the max/perfect score is 30,000... and given how fast the deductions start to kick in with incorrect location ....

25967 but I made a stupid move and put Marseilles in Spain rather than France. Was so determined to get the coastline placed right that I missed the entire country.

I've always been good at European geography. I'd probably get a lot lower if it was North / South America.

Oh yeah, just tried again and got 27885  ;D

I'm generally good in both NA and Europe.  I fail hard in the Southern Hemisphere, though, especially Africa.

28363 second time around.  I cheated... my BSc in in geographic sciences and I worked in aviation.
Hint: in the first rounds if you do not put the cursor right on the middle of the airport star you lose
free points!!

No such thing as cheating if you've got the knowledge. :) I tried it clicking when the very tip of the pointer finger was where I wanted it and got much better accuracy, I managed to get 29072.

I got 26807, I can see how not knowing exactly what they were asking to do cost me points by not being precise enough.

I got 27730 first time round. I could have done with a bigger map as a mm off can be 30/40 miles away.
