Road Names Visible
Closed this issue · 6 comments
The road names are visible on Google Maps Street View, making it very easy to guess the location. (Usually <100km)
This is a known bug atm and has to do with the Map Embed API we use being less customizable. It's possible if we use the Map SDK but that has a cost per request. This is definitely something to research in the future for a solution.
See https://developers.google.com/streetview/web if anyone has any insight on this, please let me know!
Tl/dr: This is not possible right now due to a diff strat I used to make the game free, but I will look at workarounds in the future
I don't see this as an issue, in GeoGuessr typically I see the road names and it doesn't really affect the gameplay for me.
Well many pro players are able to tell the location just from a street, ex. Sometimes it says the abbreviation of a state in a country. So we need to figure out a way to toggle this (believe Geoguessr has this)

Yes, however that's perfectly fine. Once you become a pro finding those roads are easy. That's the fun, getting good. Buffing it will only make it worse for both new and pros alike.
+ I play a lot of GeoGuessr and I'm not aware of that option.
Road names are now togglable, I switched to the JS api but I don't know if the way I'm doing it is allowed, I might have to switch it back in the future to comply with Google policies
