A small Javascript application which finds the correct location in the online game Geogussr.
The user has the choice to place a pin in a location close to the location, place a pin on the exact location or open the location in Google Maps.
This application is a Tampermonkey Script, therefore, you will need to install the tampermonkey extension:
- (Chromium browsers): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en
- (Firefox): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/tampermonkey/
After this, just simply add the code in Release.js as a new script.
-
Press '1' in game to place a pin on a location that will randomly score you between 4500 to 5000 score. (pressing "guess" is required to guess)
-
Press '2' in game to place a pin on a location that will exactly score 5000 points. (pressing "guess" is required to guess)
-
Press '3' in game to open Google Maps set on the correct location in a new tab.

This completely ruins the fun of the game, I made this to experiment with creating Tampermonkey scripts to modify website behaviour and because it's fun to reverse engineer this stuff.
Please use at your own risk, and don't ruin other's fun.
