Please could you add a mode where the vehicle/car meta info is removed or obscured. It's so boring to be able to tell Ghana, not from the plants, roads, architecture, weather etc, but from a small piece of black tape on a roof rack -- that's ridiculous!! (Similar for other countries). It spoils the game!! Just because that has been the status quo for GeoGuessr up to now doesn't mean it has to remain that way prospectively. I very much doubt anyone enjoys learning that kind of pointless meta info. Providing a mode where the entire car view is blacked-out/obscured/heavily pixelated/blurred would be great. It would make Geoguessr more competitive and based solely on "legitimate" features of the street view -- that is, instrinsic identifying features -- that are particular to a country/region. Thanks in advance!

I think learning car metas as important as learning plants, roads, architecture, weather etc.

I second this, the game is geoguessr not guess the Google car.

bandi yes, but the car is a crucial part to knowing what country your in. for example, ghana has black tape. but if the car wasn't there you would just think your in any African country.

Its a fun idea, but this is not something we can easily do since we do not own Street View. Will take this internally with the team for the future.
