Oooh this is nerdy fun!
my effort

I imagine you could pretty much pinpoint it with a bit more time. Unless you get one where there are no streets so you can't browse (like the last one I got in russia).

Nice work, Im terribly addicted to it. I think they need to restrict the number of "moves" you can make when you get your new spot. Otherwise it becomes too easy

I consider it cheating to Google place names. I'm also uncomfortable with moving more than about 100 metres from the starting point but that's arbitrary.

I think if you get a road in the middle of nowhere that's fine, but there should be a limit to how far you can move before it's considered cheating.

Not that even signs help, I got put on a road that said "WYOMING" on it, and it was in the opposite corner of the state to where I clicked, so it was still about 800km+

I think you should be able to keep going until you get to the first sign with writing on it.
