Geoguessr is a game in which the player is given a location in Google Street View and asked to guess where this location is, by clicking on a map of the world, based only on the 360 degree view in the Street View display. Cueball is upset because he keeps making his guesses based on landmarks and his guesses end up being wrong because the landmark he based his guess off of was actually a replica of the real one. The alt text suggests that Cueball has gotten a large number of unnamed dirt roads to guess and has learned their location from when he gets his guess wrong.

Rules
Don't be a jerk. There are a lot of comics that don't have set in stone explanations, feel free to put multiple interpretations in the wiki page for each comic.
If you want to talk about a specific comic, use its discussion page.
