@@Lodzio20 The Google car. Certain countries have different cars which you learn when playing a lot. That's how he knew the country, which obviously narrowed the search area.
That Kenya guess was insane. Showed it to my Kenyan wife who also plays geoguessr with me. She couldn't believe how close you got :D "I don't want to hear from that man again" she said 😂😂😂
Pro tip for the 1 free game: start a new free game every day even if you don't play on that day. You can return to an ongoing game whenever so this way you can stack some games to play when you want
@@raulpetrascu2696 Another pro tip, google 'geoguessr challenges reddit' and people have shared plenty of links readily available for you to use. Also Tom has done a lot of play along games, so you can use those too (unless your memory is insane).
Hey Tom, just wanted to say I’ve been watching your videos for around a year now and I wanna thank you for making my lockdown and times of stress and boredom a lot better.
You NEED to hide the URL somehow if not by going into fullscreen then by hiding it with an overlay or smth. Otherwise the geotips mods wont submit your record, check the submission rules.
I mean it says it “may be denied”. I’d bet they would accept his record but ya, it’s best to hide it just in case. (Do you know why they have that rule?)
I am not a native speaker but doesnt this: "If the video isn´t played fullscreen or with the url part hidden, the submission may be denied." mean he has to show the url?? And no you can't replay a game with the url, but you can see all round results and locations. So having the url would be even better for the geotips mods.
Always appreciative of when Tom gives golden nuggets of advice for us idiots: "Forests are forests to be honest, they just look like forests." The guy's a genius!
This fast pased stuff is just as entertaining as the methodical talk through so keep it up Tom, may seem like it's not engaging but it's just as great and gets you closer to the record
12:55 what's that red thing on the tree to the left? looks like some forestry tree marking, but it isn't just paint. i'd say that could be a vital clue.
As a Hungarian it was really funny when at 12:28 you considered choosing the Hortobágy, because it is one of the biggest plains in Hungary with absolutely no connection to the vegetations that you were searching for
Haha so I'm not the only one who did the math. If the chances of a successful round were really as low as 1/20 it would mean that he is pretty much guaranteed to never make it onto the leaderboard. Might as well just go and play the lottery instead.
Old forests in western Poland are mostly pines and other conifers, also beeches, because of the sandy soils. That last round looked very eastern polish so at least you'll know in the future. Great video and amazing guesses nonetheless, cheers!
jaja that was awesome!... that last round needs some angle measurement of the shadows using photogrametry, by estimating about 9:45 in the morning during autumn or spring estimate a latitude, country, orientation, boom! lol
Hey. Quick tip about the First Turkey round: If there are old white houses looking like they're from 19th century, you're definetely in one of the cities near Marmara Sea, but east of Istanbul.
What you explained at the beginning is kind of what happens in Minecraft speedruns: you have to reset often in order to get the perfect seed! And indeed focus when you eventually get one
Question: Does the resolution of your monitor matter, or how does Google maps display that? Would a higher res screen give you a bigger picture with a wider view? Or a more detailed view of the same area? Or it is all output in 720p, so resolution does not matter?
It's a 360 degree photo so the resolution is really quite low, you wouldn't see more detail once you get over 720p or something is my guess. But an ultrawide could definitely help like the other comment suggests. Then again, changing the aspect ratio of the browser window probably would just crop the image, so I'm not sure how the game decides on displaying the image.
as long as the monitor has a higher resolution or the same as the image then it doesnt matter. and i seriously doubt google maps ever go to 1080p which I'll assume Tom's monitor is
@@The8347135 yes, but at a certain point like 4K or maybe 8K, you have enough real-estate to show the entire 360 degree photosphere. I know with my 2 monitor setup I can see 180 degrees.
It's multiple images stitched together to form one 360 degree image, so standard categories like 720p and 1080p don't really work. That said I think a single frame of a normal google street view image is roughly around 720 to 1080p in terms of image quality/ pixel density. So I don't think 4k would help.

I can’t believe Tom was given a picture and he managed to click on a map and get 4 yards away from it. Unbelievable.
in the middle of nowhere, might i add
In rural Kenya of all places as well. Most people wouldn't even be able to do that in their own city.
@@gugge5958 yeah that makes it even more insane. It wasn’t in a city or anything, it was in rural Kenya. Rural fucking Kenya.

he reminds me of a rustic dad having fun
His sense of humor is wonderful too. Effortlessly funny.
@@Joemamahahahaha821 Precisely. He is a very intelligent person and doesn't have any filter whatsoever. I'm really hooked.
I always wonder why he says “is it filming”. I am like: “Dude, it is always filming, I have never seen it not”....And then it hit me.
lol
That high... lol

@Supfingo 95 still impressive
@Supfingo 95 what car?
@@Lodzio20 The Google car. Certain countries have different cars which you learn when playing a lot. That's how he knew the country, which obviously narrowed the search area.

Make sure to send a mail to him about it too, i remember he said that he doesnt see all the comments and its better to contact him via mail :)
Holy shit that would be something to behold. You gonna go barefoot the whole way yeah?
Yes
Just don't get caught out by our weather lol...
it didn't look easy in Lord of the Rings lol.
The fact that you even got close to the leaderboard with those 5 rounds is pretty remarkable

sad how we can't play it anymore

he's been doing this how long and still doesn't know what he's doing with the recording haha love it
ruclips.net/video/Av-i8zhTpC0/видео.html&ab_channel=SK-NSW
Maybe because he may have recorded many times and he found out he wasn't so maybe that's why
Hey Tom, just wanted to say I’ve been watching your videos for around a year now and I wanna thank you for making my lockdown and times of stress and boredom a lot better.
11:08 I was cracking up when that round loaded in. After a perfect score of course that's what it gives you
“It didnt look Dubai-y, maybe it was the soil” ahaha

“I’m not going to guess Tasmania because the imagery is good” harsh but fair
Whenever I see a shit ton of flags it's always UAE.
Or the US
I've also had this feeling with Tunisia and Malaysia
Thailand aswell
Whenever I’m in Thailand I almost always see a flag or 50 flags. Thailand, UAE, and Turkey have the most flags from my experience
Malaysia, Turkey, US, and UAE they have a lot of flags everywhere

It's great geoguessr is gaining this recognition, wait till the see the straight line missions
That might be your best guess yet, Tom. Great work, and best of luck getting on that leaderboard!
My jaw dropped at the Kenya guess, looking forward to that leaderboard game, Soon!
I was heading for New Zealand!!
"I don't believe that, I do not believe that. Honestly, I had hardly any hope. I am flabbergasted" - On a perfect 5K Score. - Incredible
Incredible stuff, Tom. Nothing gets me more excited than seeing a new addition to this series. That Kenya guess was unreal. Cheers!
Sees image: “this is Kenya”
This fast pased stuff is just as entertaining as the methodical talk through so keep it up Tom, may seem like it's not engaging but it's just as great and gets you closer to the record

My favourite geoguessr series! Loved the Kenyan map search music!
I dont believe this videos are in youtube, there are to good for yt. You are literally the man who created the earth.
I have been watching you for a while now and it's great to see you get some recognition from other people!
I love these NMPZ Diverse World videos. It gets more and more tense as you get closer and closer to getting on the leaderboard.
Dude you are flipping amazing at this game do not ever feel otherwise seriously
This series is the best Thomas. Thoroughly enjoying.
Soooo close! Was holding my breath when that last result was processing. Good job Tom :)
Your content is amazing dude, keep it up!
God damn this man is insane also I love that Ludwig is a fan of you because I’m a huge fan of both
Dude that Kenya guess just made me tear up. Holy shit man you have come so far. Great job dude.
be far the most underrated you tube channel out there keep it up Tom!
Incredible game. Keep it up. We want to see you on the top of the leaderboard.
What an unbelievably harsh final round, when you had a good chance!! Gutted for you
Just wanna say hoe much I enjoy your content. It just feels so chill to just listen to stuff that i kinda understand but not really :)
How*
loving the trim xD and the perseverance to keep going!!
Thats historical. Thats just unbelievably amazing, hats off!!!
Dude that guess was insane!! Love it
I found your channel from Ludwig and these geoguessr videos are so entertaining :)
Keep going for it! These are currently my favorite videos! My best diverse world nmpz is like 19k so this is insane to watch

Just commenting to help the youtube algorithm because Tom deserves it
the music choices when you speed the video up always make me crack up hahah
Good job Tom. That was such a good guess. Amazing detective work indeed
This is so high level gameplay. enjoying the watch!
Hands down best content on this site
I'm glad that you're back really into GeoGuessr!
It's been a while since I saw any new Hometown Roulette, though!
discovered your channel through ludwig and im really enjoying these videos
You're crazy! You will have it someday, that is for sure!

Good on ya Tom, best of look on future attempts
Btw if you assume that you get a 4850 round every 20 rounds, that means that you get five of those guesses in one game every 3,2 million games.
