There are some impressive scores here. I got 86% and average error 26 miles. The states with sea coasts were the easiest, and once you got about half of them it was easy to fit them in.

98%, average error of 4 miles, 281 seconds. Blasted Utah in the middle of nowhere (at least at that point on the map)! I guess having driven across the country from east to west three times and north to south five times has paid off with something besides vacation photos.
