My best guess was .12Km away. It plopped me down infront of a honda dealer in wyoming
8903 points first guess. One pic really threw me for a loop, it looked like somewhere in the southern part of South America (I guessed this mostly due to concrete power poles) and it was actually in the Yugoslavia area. 14073 points second time, mostly because I don't know the difference between Chinese and Korean characters.
The game puts your in east-nowhere Australia too often, the developer is working on it apparently. There are good scores for Googling (32,000+) and for not Googling (20,000+) from what I can find. Time limits are another good way to up the ante.
I tried looking around, but not walking anywhere, and got over 10,000 after a few tries.
21,000 and change on my first go around. But I got three gimmees. Two in the US with clearly visible highway signs, and one that was in Poland (I knew it was Poland because I saw three guys changing a lightbulb).

17,xxx on the first try. Closest was .025kms away. First spot had to have been in front of a GRMer's house, what with all the broken vehicles around:
But, it turned out to be in Mexico.
Other drops were in the middle of a snowfield. I gave up trying to backtrack the snowmobile trail, and guessed somewhere in Canada. It was actually Finland.
Try, without Google, to get as FAR from the location, to get a low score. I managed a 185.
