Okay, the extended deadline for Week 1 has passed! Here are the final scores:

I've created a spreadsheet to track the season scores and map picks, you can access it here.

Next week we'll be facing off in our first urban challenge - stay tuned!

That brings us to today's Funday Monday challenge. This week's map is simply titled Famous Places in Canada. What places does the author consider to be famous? I have no idea, but there are over 500 of them for the algorithm to choose from. No time limit, no restrictions on movement.

Good luck!

This is more up my alley :-)

That stretches famous a bit

18,144. One 6-point guess. The rest were decent or excellent.

Just short of perfect. The darn Heritage Park in Calgary threw me off for a bit.

That's what got me too. I saw "Fernie" on the side of one of the train coaches, and thought the historic railway might've been in BC.

yup. Agreed. For some reason I thought it was Kings Landing just west of Fredericton that I once went to .

Here are the results for Funday Monday:

And here is our Mid-Week Friendly challenge. This week we're playing on the map 100 largest cities of Canada, created by Simi. The author does not indicate what data source/criteria were used to delineate/rank cities, but a cursory glance at CSD populations should put the cutoff around somewhere the size of Welland, ON. No time limit, no restrictions on movement.

Thanks for putting these together. Lots of fun.

Fischbob · #54 Posted **Oct 18, 2021, 10:45 PM**

Okay, it's Funday Monday!

Tonight's map is called every canada us border crossing on google street view. I expect it to be as simple as that. No time limit, no restrictions on movement.

Thanks..Good topic. Unfortunately 2/5 of those images are so grainy it is hard to read any signs to get clues. Part of the USA really need an image upgrade.

https://goo.gl/maps/Ht8mF87Vk8Teshyq5 USA/Canada border goes through this building which was a tavern and is now a freight forwarding/parcel pick up place. It could be included in the Ugly Canada thread.

Forced me to make educated guesses based on physiography and landform. I was pretty close.

AuxTown · #58 Posted **Oct 19, 2021, 1:16 AM**

Ugh, a couple of baaaaad guesses. 11715. Can't believe I even picked the wrong Niagara one....I lived there for a while!

Peggerino · #59 Posted **Oct 19, 2021, 2:20 AM**

Couple of really lucky ones got me to over 23k somehow. The resolution on some of those US roads is horrendous. How did they not have better cameras in 2007?

Dmajackson · #60 Posted **Oct 19, 2021, 4:27 AM**

I consider that one unfair to Nova Scotians, Islanders, and Newfies! We all have no idea what a land border crossing looks like.

It's a good thing that was a friendly. The first image wouldn't let me move at all so I had nothing to go on.
