Hey @pxrple9 and @stockmecreator,

Please double-check that the userscript is loaded correctly in Tampermonkey. Also please check if reloading the page in the first round via pressing F5 already fixes the issue.

If it still doesn't work, please tell me which browser you are using and which exact game-mode you are playing.

Try using the option / ⌥ key instead of command.

May you explain where in the source code you find the long and lat data? I looked through the whole document.querySelectorAll("#__NEXT_DATA__")[0].text and wasn't able to find anything remotely helpful.. Am not implying that the code doesn't work - just curious as to what your approach is.

How it's working

Obtaining the coordinates of the current round is done in this simple steps:

const raw = document.querySelectorAll("#__NEXT_DATA__")[0].text;
const json = JSON.parse(raw);
const rounds = json.props.pageProps.game.rounds;

The DOM contains an element with the id __NEXT_DATA__. This element contains text or JSON to be precise. This JSON-Object holds an array of the rounds from the current game under .props.pageProps.game.rounds. Elements in this array look like this: { lat: number, lng: number, ... }.

What my approach is / was

Just searched the DOM for something that gives a hint about the current position.

Thanks @leonbrandt for your reply! What you described is exactly what my thought process was - though I'm still not able to locate your mentioned array, as I'll describe in the following:

The DOM contains an element with the id __NEXT_DATA__.

This is correct. In order to clear any misunderstandings - we're both talking about <script id="__NEXT_DATA__" type="application/json"> (or to be identified via the JS path: document.querySelector("#__NEXT_DATA__"))

This JSON-Object holds an array of the rounds from the current game under .props.pageProps.game.rounds

This is the point from which on our data differs. Under the main entry point props is data like middlewareResults, but there is no pageProps and thus no props.pageProps.game.rounds. I tried it via your said source code as well as via Selenium session in Python.

Any ideas on why there is a discrepancy between our two JSON trees?

//EDIT:
To be more precise as far as debugging is concerned. I'm playing the "Daily Challenge" on the map "World". When accessing your said pageProps via

# [...]
element = soup.find('script', {'id':'__NEXT_DATA__'}).text
data = json.loads(element)

pageprops = data["props"]["pageProps"]

I'll get {'statusCode': 404}, thus there exists a pageProps component with the value statuscode being 404 (=denied). Furthermore, even checking manually I can't find game within pageProps.

Hello @JonasMArnold,

Furthermore, even checking manually I can't find game within pageProps.

I was able to replicate this observation in the daily challenge. The object game seems to only exist in the normal gamemode. Thus limiting the support of this script for the daily challenge.

Currently my approach is the only working one known to me. For this reason this script isn't working for the battle royale mode too. Obviously it seems to be very limited.

Care to explain in more detail what didn't work so I have a chance to fix it?
What exact steps did you do until you observed your problem? What do you expect to happen and what happend instead?

Hey there, a couple of months ago there was a link to another thread, which showed a working script for battle royale in geoguessr, but I can't find it anymore. Could you help me find it again?

Is it possible to manipulate this script so that it opens the page on a second monitor?
Also, is it possible to manipulate the script so that you don't need to reload?
Thank you!

Is it possible to manipulate this script so that it opens the page on a second monitor?

Yes it is. If you are familiar with Javascript you can check out this. I'm not planning to implement an exhaustive feature for monitor-selection at this moment - maybe if I have more time for it.

Also, is it possible to manipulate the script so that you don't need to reload?

Unfortunately not. I don't have any other solution than that.

I made some changes to this script to work in battle royale. I gave you credits. Here is the link https://github.com/TurtleRade/geoguessrbattletoyalecheat

Hello fellow comrades 😄

Found this gist a few hours ago and it made me want to create my own version, which will work in multiple game modes. And here it is:
https://gist.github.com/tcortega/7378d20dcfa7d15df780032ca2b78b3d

It has the same keybind as this cheat, but it works for Duels, Streaks, Battle-royales and Challenges. And you don't have to reload.
Hope you all like it:smile_cat:
