A third game got to 202,265. But now I have to stop, because there were like 6 repeats in that - in other words, it was less about geography and more about short-term memory.
P.S.: Easter Island is aggravating. Kinda frustrating that knowing what ocean it's in isn't good enough.
When it came up the second time, I'd swear I was clicking in the same spot it had been before. While I got a lot closer, I still only scored like 100 points (out of 5,000+) for it.
If I ever play again, I'll have google maps open in the other tab, set to Easter Island.

Don't read Tasmania when they say Tanzania. It kinda had an impact on my score.
Also, accuracy counts for a lot more than speed. I played a second time and scored 30,000 more by taking my time.
146,307 (level 5) and 176,810 (level 6) in my two plays.

Fun game, though. Thanks for sharing!
442,000-ish. level 10. Would have made level 11 if I hadn't confused Guyana with Guinea. Stupid mistake. I blame the aftereffects from the Kool-ade.
I'm impressed! Was that first try?

Highlights in my three games:
Essen within 94 miles (it pays to be a boardgamer).
Rushmore within 21 miles.
The Louvre within 23 miles.
Worst disappointments:
Easter Island (both times)
Tasmania/Tanzania mix-up
Bahamas confused for something else with a "B" that eludes me now as much as it did at the time.
Kinshasa, DRC (It wasn't till they scored my last-second random click that I began to suspect "DRC" means "Democratic Republic of the Congo")
I did not even make it to level 2 my first try. Then on my second try I was very proud because I almost made it to level 2.
Geography is really my thing! Can we do long division and volume measurement of cones next.
