  Every great explorer starts somewhere. The US is a big place, and a few of these trip up plenty of locals too. Keep a paper map in the glove box on your next road trip and quiz your passengers; these answers will stick in no time. Fun fact to take with you: Alaska is bigger than Texas, California and Montana combined.

  Weekend Explorer

  5 to 7 correct

  You know your way around the big landmarks and the headline capitals. A few borders and peaks slipped by, but you clearly pay attention on the road. One more cross-country trip and you will be naming rivers out the window. Try this: pick a national park you have never visited and plan the route there without a navigation app.

  Cross-Country Pro

  8 to 9 correct

  Seriously sharp. You know the rivers, the borders and the peaks, and only a trick question or two stood between you and a perfect run. You are the friend everyone wants as co-pilot. Challenge a friend to beat your score, then plan a trip to the one spot on this quiz you have not seen yet.

  Human GPS

  10 to 10 correct

  A perfect score. Who needs a navigation app when you are riding shotgun? From the Rio Grande to Honolulu, your mental map of the United States is officially coast to coast. Share your score and dare your most well-traveled friend to match it.
