World 1M+ Agglo Coverage
DirectionsFirst enter a difficulty level by typing ‘beg’, ‘int’, ‘adv’ or ‘exp’. Beginner is 500km, intermediate is 250km, advanced is 150km and expert is 100km. Every 1M+ pop agglomeration within that radius will fill in. I tried to include a few cities that may not be the main city of the agglo, but try to name the agglo’s largest/main city.
hugequiz Premium members will see the 25 largest missed cities at the end of the quiz as large, purple markers.

any way you could have the Gulf Of Mexico named the way 99% of the world’s countries name it?
It’s built-in to Google Maps, I can’t do anything 🙁
Hey why cant i play? I type „int“ into the search bar but the game doesn’t start. Anything I‘m doing wrong? I use an iPad
Working fine for me, you should see the map when you start before you type in your level of choice. Try refreshing.
Really would’ve though Campo Grande, Matto Grosso Do Sul, Brazil would have 1mil+ pop since the city proper is so close
trivandrum (thiruvananthapuram) isnt showing up for me although it should be over 1 mil
not listed on my source:

What website or statistics is this based on, I live in Gothenburg and I know the metro area is 1M+ but here it doesn’t show up.
I saw the link now and realized that an agglomeration is the same as an urban area, not really familiar with the term.
yeah there isn’t really a true definition across all countries of what an urban area is, it varies.
I can’t seem to get Syria on advanced. Aleppo and Damascus work, but none of Homs, Hamah, Latakia, or Raqqah work and it’s not listed as completed yet
Looks like I got it I just missed the message since Damascus also completes Lebanon.
I cannot get Turkey no matter what. I’ve even run down a list of the top 10 largest cities and I get through Mersin and Kayseri but never get a flag for completing Turkey
maybe missing Diyarbakir
is there any way of seeing the cities i missed
only if you are a premium member
There’s a city in argentina that seems impossible to get. I have 610/611.
edit: i’m stupid
it’s ok these quizzes make me feel stupid a lot too and I make them 🙂
Not sure what’s going on with the U.S. here. How does Harrisburg, PA count as over 1 million and, say, Ft. Worth and Albuquerque don’t?
guess it depends on how an agglo is defined.

pretty sure there is a bug. I went through every single city in the united states from that website’s list and it still doesn’t complete the US. I thought I was missing something but no, literally just sorting by country and then going down every single one it still doesn’t complete the US.
You’re missing one in a US territory.
Fort Worth suffers from the same issue as Baltimore and St. Petersburg. Doesn’t mean they can’t be answers for their metro area (Metroplex, US Capital, Gulf Coast Bay Area), though.
