Product testing

Testing Methodology

This page explains how GeoBoost evaluates product-specific claims. It does not claim that every round, browser state, or future game-site version will behave identically.

Test scope

Checks use the current stable GeoBoost build in Chrome on supported private, practice, or testing modes. Ranked and competitive modes are outside the intended-use test scope.

What is checked

Area	Check	Passing result
Round detection	Open a fresh supported round and request identification	The current round is detected without reusing a prior result
Location result	Compare returned coordinates and readable location with the active round data	The response belongs to the active round
Map interaction	Run map preview, movement, and placement where supported	The map moves and places within the active game interface
Access state	Check free limits, Pro restore, and expired access	The interface matches the server entitlement

Supported sites

GeoGuessr, OpenGuessr, WorldGuessr, FreeGuessr, and Geotastic are checked separately because their interfaces and supported features differ. A successful check on one site is not treated as proof for another.

Known limitations

Game-site updates can temporarily break detection or map controls.
Not every mode exposes the same round data or map interface.
Readable place names depend on reverse-geocoding availability.
No result is presented as a guarantee for future site versions.

Reporting a failure

Send the game site, mode, extension version, Chrome version, expected behavior, and a screenshot to [email protected].
