GeoComp

Dataset description

Inspired by geoguessr.com, we developed a free geolocation game platform that tracks participants' competition histories. Unlike most geolocation websites, including Geoguessr, which rely solely on samples from Google Street View, our platform integrates Baidu Maps and Gaode Maps to address coverage gaps in regions like mainland China, ensuring broader global accessibility. The platform offers various engaging competition modes to enhance user experience, such as team contests and solo matches. Each competition consists of multiple questions, and teams are assigned a "vitality score". Users mark their predicted location on the map, and the evaluation is based on the ground truth's surface distance from the predicted location. Larger errors result in greater deductions from the team's vitality score. At the end of the match, the team with the higher vitality score wins. We also provide diverse game modes, including street views, natural landscapes, and iconic landmarks. Users can choose specific opponents or engage in random matches. To prevent cheating, external search engines are banned, and each round is time-limited. To ensure predictions are human-generated rather than machine-generated, users must register with a phone number, enabling tracking of individual activities. Using this platform, we collected GeoComp, a comprehensive dataset covering 1,000 days of user competition.

Requirement

The GeoComp is only for reasearch.

Explanation

We hide data items that may reveal personal privacy like changing the value of key "userId" to "User", "hostUserId" to "HostUser", "playerIds" to "Players", "id" to "Game"

The data under the "data" column is in json style
