Real street view panoramas, a mini-map in the corner, and a five-round solo run scored by distance. Free, no account, around five minutes, which makes it the closest free match to MapTap's scoring.

WorldleGEOGRAPHY
Gives you the country's outline and six guesses, reporting the distance to the answer and the direction to travel on each one. It keeps an archive and runs on phones as well as the web.
GlobleGEOGRAPHY
The odd one out: no distances at all, just warmer or colder as you name countries, and no limit on guesses. Free, and an account only if you want the streak. It keeps no archive, so a missed day is gone.
The game the format came from, dropping you inside a panorama to read road signs and vegetation. Worth knowing before you click: the catalogue records it as freemium and as requiring an account to play.
Choosing between them
Which of these score me on distance rather than right or wrong?
WorldGuessr, Worldle and GeoGuessr all turn a miss into a number, the way MapTap's kilometre readout does, so a near miss is still worth something. Globle is the only one here that tells you nothing but warmer or colder.
Which is free with no account?
WorldGuessr, outright. Globle is free as well but wants an account if you care about the streak. GeoGuessr is freemium and requires an account to play at all, which is the single biggest difference between it and WorldGuessr.
How long does a session take?
WorldGuessr runs about five minutes over five rounds, and MapTap gives five places a day, so a bad round is recoverable inside the same sitting. Worldle and Globle are one puzzle a day instead, which makes a wasted early guess cost more.
