That was my ceiling, as well. When in doubt, click in the middle of Africa. . .

No problem getting to level 12. But achieving 60,000 points in it is a matter of accuracy and speed.
My accuracy problem is that the resolution of my screen is very high and the map appears somewhat small. I do not see Palau, Mauritius and the Marquesas islands, for example. I just point in the general direction. As far as cities, I am always within 200 to 300 Km.
My speed suffers in level 12 because although I am ambidextrous, I am slower with the left hand, which is the one I use in my main machine. I will try with a lower resolution laptop and a right hand pointing device.
-------------
Tried again and finished level 12 barely above with 60,902 points. You get a message saying: Hey, are you still there? They give you your total score and your traveler IQ.
The total score was 589,193. What is a traveler IQ of 134?

In case anyone missed it, there are links below the map to try out Europe, Africa, North America etc. specific maps (and they zoom in so that islands are visible).
Once I build my African geographical vocabulary a bit, I'll get back to the main quiz.
