I was 3km away, so my mum tried and is 0km away!
I hope she wins ! ( and take me with her)

Ah, now 15 km off! We're getting there!

[localhero1986]

Just curious, how many attempts do you get? I've been checking and last time I could adjust the location was more than 2 days ago...

I'm just about 3 km... I tried various locations and I'm always 3 km. Strange...

What if you zoom out a bit, rather than zoom in close and try and get the exact couple of plants by the roadside? Is it actually near Fallon, NV? So busy with work, I just dont have the time to explore.

Finally I got it. 3 km was quite close so it was a matter than triangulate as some nice amiters pointed to me in private, lol. I was so close that you can't see the obvious until someone point at it and you say: damm, of course!

Thanks!

55km...

Don't help each other people  Your own chances will shrink  (ofcourse it will be awesome if an amit member wins)

I tried with various mails and with one of them I was about 66 km and I got the message that I would participate so I guess it doesn't matter really if you get a 0 km position but that you get close.

By the way when I got help I was 3 km away and already thinking about looking the road where it was just a matter of try and try lol

[vr46mk]

So... you say it was obvious once you found the 0km spot?

I still don't get it why that exact point has any kind of sense in it. Yes, there is a place a bit further up that says something, but if I'd placed the needle there it would have been too far away from the radius that finally got me in the right spot.

So I don't still understand if there is a specific reason or clue behind the exact position on the map... or maybe we are at different 0km's ? 

[jbaent]

It was obvious since I tried three times and all of them I was 3 km away, not because the place is obvious, which is not at all.

We all guessed it was a road in Nevada but no clue about being that one exactly...

53km I’m in for the competition, it was enough I guess.

53km I’m in for the competition, it was enough I guess.

Problem is there are probably hundreds/thousands at 0km

I think that's not a problem. You receive a message that you are participating anyway.
