Same here, but I’m playing on a laptop, it’s so annoying. It has only started to happen a couple hours ago, though. So Idk what happened. When I try clicking down the road, I can only move one pano at a time.

I think it’s a worldguessr issue, I went to Google maps and double tapping works just as intended. Hopefully it gets fixed soon enough.

happening to me on laptop playing on firefox browser. It seems like a worldguessr bug and not a google maps one. Hope it gets fixed soon

When I click to move around the map, I can’t move forward so much. The problem emerged yesterday. e.g., it’s like I used to click and I would move 20 m further, but I can’t do it now, it seems like 5 m, I guess. I wonder if anyone suffers from this problem and there is a solution

I thought I was the only one. Same in Windows, maybe it’s a problem with the Google Maps frame?

It’s still happening. It’s so frustrating to play. :expressionless_face:

Thanks for the report! This is definitely a super annoying bug we are working hard on a fix or workaround for WorldGuessr.

In the meantime, please upvote (+1 button) the issue PaulPlay made on Google’s Issue Tracker so they can fix the root cause on their end.
