- Jupaoqq, thank you for making this map. I thought it was going to be too hard, but you've put just enough information in there to make these rounds humanly possible. The result is a geographical bonanza. With all of that said, can I achieve a perfect score on my first time of asking
DISCLAIMER In order to get this map working, you need to download the script, and for the script to work you need to have downloaded tamper monkey or something similar. It's easy, and I'm sure the source is trustworthy, but download at your own risk..

Was just about to write the same :) But still nice detective work!
"...and finds them"
and we watched him.
"It's got to be a place where they've got more money than sense. Ok, I'm going in... Kuwait... ah, there it is!" Unforgettable.
The irony of course is that while the road junctions leading to nowhere are in Kuwait, Um Qasr is actually just across the border in Iraq!
There is a mega port project (great mubarak port) targeting imports to south iraq and cities for the 2030 kuwait vision .. the sense here is iraq needs a port thats why they keep threatening kuwait so we solve that problem with a port near their border
Recognized the place immediately
@Harry Chown I think "more money than sense" really applies to the governments more so than the people in the case of a lot of extravagant development projects in non-democratic contexts. The people are poor, and the government spends all their ill-gotten money on ambitious vanity projects that may or may not help the people, but will make the leaders look good on the international stage.
@@rahelwijeyekoon9403 which is not iraq
"Could this be America?"
No. Too many roundabouts.
It just looks too reasonable to be America.
Also no baseball diamonds in the parks/fields
I'd be straight on the sports grounds to get an idea which country, not only was there a pitch that looked like Aussie rules football, but two bowling greens next to it!
That was my thought!
A lot of American towns have a ton of roundabouts actually
You have several options in the upper right corner. Like turning the rain off, or change into the satellite view.
Considering the weather outside right now, I'd love to have that option.

Tom is nuts, i enjoy watching geo peter sometimes but i do think he goes overboard with memorizing basically everything about every country where as tom has more deductive skills and i love that
Same with GeographyChallenges, that guy seems to have an index of every country in his brain. "Slight curve to that building, trees are more teal green, this just screams southeastern Burkina Faso doesn't it"
@@Strokwor YES HAHAHAHA, equilateral triangular shape with a warm yellow colour on top of that brick a 100 yards away? its obviously a very fine example of western glasgow architecture
Thats why those are both of my heroes !
I like GeoPeter but he has surprisingly little knowledge about obvious places sometimes.
@@laurenhw1988 I don't watch him enough to judge but like still
G'day Tom, I live in Perth but am from Collie. So i'm super stoked you were able to find it on the map, it is a relatively small place. I knew it straight away and i got that nostolgic feeling so for that i thank you. I used to go to Collie Primary School, however before going into highschool, my family moved up to Perth. The location is about two minutes away from my grandparents house, both of them actually went to Collie Senior Highschool. I'm sure they would love to see your reaction and you finding this place. And i'll make sure to ask them what it was like there, although were talking upwards of 60 years ago. A lot has changed since then and the town has changed a lot too. Collie is an incredible place and definitely one to check out if you ever find yourself in WA. As always, amazing video, well done and keep up the good work!
Perth boys are number 1 👊 went a few trips to the Wellington dam and Collie as a kid. Great place!
I wonder which school used to have that name because when I grew up there none of the schools were called Collie Primary School
Eyyy Perth 👍🏼
Yeah awesome to see our neck of the woods, I'm from Perth
@@pidj. damn guess I’m the only American here😂 can’t wait to get to Australia. Been wanting to go for years now but then this whole worldwide pandemic thing happened lol I’ll get there soon enough
On your first one, you knew that you're in the northern hemisphere & that it gets somewhat hot where you are by the hill you were viewing at 2:28. Trees growing on the north side while the south side is dry grass means the south side gets scorched by sun.
The place I live is rather hilly & with very hot summers & that's what a lot of our hills look like.
Good observation. Never would've put that together myself
hey nice find
Very interesting, nice one.
Damn impressive
I was going to say the same thing!
That was interesting. BTW, there's a distance scale on the satellite maps in the lower left corner for reference.
Currently bedridden and sick, so 30 minutes of Tom playing Geoguessr is the best thing that could have happened to me right now.
Hope you feel better soon, Jelly!

Thanks Thomas, cheers to you!

Tip for Australia: Generally, white roofs = Western Australia
Now I gotta look at all the roofs on the drive home
I've lived in WA my whole life and never picked up on the white roofs thing aha - but looking on (aerial) street view 23 of the 31 houses on my block have white roofs! Including a stretch of 10 in a row including my house. Interesting seeing as I tbh couldn't name what colour my roof was if asked.
@@BasedMothman Colorbond, mate :)
Also oval fields without cricket pitches are less likely to be NSW/Queensland.
And Victoria, in my hometown, Bendigo a mining town don’t live there no more. About 82% of the houses in my suburb had white roofs
23:33 another easy way to determine the driving direction is the angle of those parking spots along the side of the streets 👍
Some places in Australia do reverse angle parking
@@limsipix Meaning you back into the spot? That’s actually kinda dope 🤔
Or just look at the obvious road arrows at intersections 👁👄👁
or even just the stop lines at junctions..
@@___jd yeah I hate going to nose in towns
When you see an airport, zoom right into it. Sometimes they actually have the name of the airport written on the ground.
Very good advise!
But that defeats the purpose 😂
@bodd boward I actually read their comment totally wrong lol I reread it now and my comment doesn't make sense 😂 brain malfunction
I'm from the UK originally but I lived in WA for 12 months. Absolutely loved the Collie bit at the end. Recognised it instantly! The funniest part about living down there is when the Sat Nav says..... "In 475 kilometres, turn left" :-)
Man I should have set the GPS on my way across the Nullarbor. Wonder what it says
@@jeremymcadam7400 "Continue straight ahead for seventeen hours" or something like that, I imagine.
When driving from Adelaide to Sydney GPS " continue for 347km "
Yes! I experience this a LOT living in northwestern Canada 🇨🇦
I've lived in Donnybrook just a few kilometres to the Southwest for a few months and while I didn't recognise Collie because I've never been there (Bunbury just made a lot more sense as a place to go if we needed the amenities of a bigger town) it just reminded me so much of southern WA that I'd have found the place in a hurry.
As a German who lived in Canarvon for months my Irish mates and me had tears in our eyes when a hundred miles South of Geraldton we started to see some rolling lush green hills. Never knew how much I missed green scenery while living in the desert but just seeing forests and green hills made me seriously homesick for a day.
I grew up in Collie from 2000 to 2009 and went to that exact High School. It was alright, pretty lower income compared to most of the places on the far west coast. Growing up we only had one fast food restaurant (Chicken Treat), and we only got McDonalds on the year I left.
Most of the rich kids took an hour long bus ride every day to a better High School in Bunbury.
If you visit there I recommend visiting "Black Diamond", an old mining pit they filled with water. They ruined it in the last decade by removing the cliffs that you could jump off, but Im sure its still fine.
I managed to get 25k on this but I got VERY lucky with my rounds. I had New York, so that was an easy 5k, and Hull so that didn’t take too much to get. Then I had coastlines in all my other 3: Japan was fairly distinctive , Russia had an airport with fairly Russian looking planes and a coastline to the West so didn’t take too long to find, and Senegal (hardest by far) took some searching but the coastline shape helped!
You didn’t that’s the funny part + no one asked + ratio
@@G-G._ bet you're really fucking fun at partys mate
@@G-G._ cringe
@@G-G._ Quality ratio you got going on there buddy
@@G-G._ better luck next time
I live 3 hours south of Collie. I can say the reservoir is stunning, in a national park it's a holiday destination for anyone with a boat. A beautiful place to camp and it has marron. Full of beer and pee
Damn how I'd want to be born there
haha 3 hours is so far if you're from belgium. you can drive through our entire country in less than that time
@@Bolognabeef You don't want to be born in Collie, very few chances for living there as an adult if you aren't into mining.
@@arnethone3220 WA representative here. I drive over an hour to work and joke to friends about driving the distance of a country. Few weeks ago went on holiday and drove for 25 hours in a week to a couple of nearby towns and back. Just a regular week down under
@@Bolognabeef no!!! I live probably 45 mins away in a town called Margaret river. Collie is worse then Scunthorpe in the UK
Always a great day when the legend uploads
26:05 Lmao the sped up Down Under - Men at Work song 🤣
We come from the land down under!
Ah yes, the notable "two-boobs" coastal formation. Great video!!
Geography in its purest form
Yeah what is it with Tom and boobs recently.
Related so hard to that stretch at the start hahaha, great content as always mate
you two = goats of geoguessr
Hi Chicago Geographer, I watch your videos, you're a cool dude
I'm always so impressed that you can pinpoint some of these locations. The world always seemed so big, but somehow I guess manageable. Cheers!
Tom, I think you underestimate your ability just a tad. As long as there is a body of water of any significance here I think you're golden in this format. You know enough about the world to narrow things down enough to make it all about scanning a bit and matching shapes.
The Round the Twist mention warmed my millennial Aussie heart. Funny that our schools had that effect on people abroad!
That Umm Qasr one was very interesting. I’ve head about it, it’s apparently Iraq’s only deep sea port that can accept big cargo ships.
Yes that's right , but now they are building a new massive port on the al faw peninsula that has a direct access to the sea .
Yeah and he thought he placed it in Kuwait
@@muffinpieceyt lol i know right ? Can't believe he didn't notice the border 😂 but that's geowizard for you sometimes .
Geowizard "Walking from one end of Kuwait to another" episode 32: hold on this might be Iraq already
I'm not surprised you got a perfect score. Other Geoguessr players may be better at remembering every bollard, road sign, license plate, Google camera generation or roof rack tape... But this map requires that you spot all those tiny details that you just can't put your finger on, but they subconsciously tell you where you should look. And that is where you shine! You're an exceptional 'natural' Geoguessr player. In another video you said that other Geoguessr players like GeoPeter were probably much better at this satellite view game than you are, but I highly doubt it.
WA representative here! Great to see one of the best places in your local town being represented. Collie is a beautiful spot with amazing campsites, four wheel drove around the edge of Wellington damn and have my own secret camp spot 👌
Classic Aussie town
27:19 top tier reference I wasn't expecting! I love your sense of humour
I was not prepared to hear a Jonah Takalua reference hahaha
classic 🤣🤣
17:53 I knew where this was immediately from playing flight sims in the 90s.
This video was great, you should definitely play this map again!
Okay I'm loving this! This version of geoguessr makes for some great deduction. Like that Kuwait (actually Iraq) one, nice subtle detective work leads you there immediately, while the others were helped by lakes etc. Really fun to watch!
‘I don’t see how I’m going to get any here’… proceeds to get every location perfectly, love your confidence Tom! Amazing, my favourite vids on YT, you could paint a wall and I’d still watch it :)
I said puck miss, with a P! Much respect for the Jonah references. Also cool to know the aussie classices are a thing in britain. Great vid as always, pls play again!!
It was great to see how fast you recognised Cornwall and Penzance as I’ve lived here my whole life and glad you liked the place on your visit, great video 👍
In Ireland we had a show called foreign exchange where an Irish girl and an Australian boy find a portal that connects their schools. So that show also gave me a romanticised view of Australian high schools haha
Yeah pretty much everyone I know has at least some Irish in them unless they're first or second generation immigrants. It's crazy how much red I have, and everyone has, in their beards here. Hahaha
looool they aired that here in spain too, i have an idealized view of both ireland (and irish women) and australia bc of it. if it's up on a streaming portal i might catch a couple eps of it
I was not coming here expecting a reference to Jonah Takalua but I'm more than happy to be leaving with one hahaha, too good!
Discern which side driving real quick: find an intersection where traffic is backed up, whichever end the backup starts at shows which side they're driving on
I think your PC is going to explode doing this! Can hear the fans going nuts! Love it though so keep it up!
Just an idea, next time you are trying to check if they drive on the left or right, take notice of the way the cars are parked when in diagonal.
Another thing to look for are arrows or "give way" triangles on the road.
@@aspuzling It was the arrows that he finally used.
A truck with a trailer can make it easy to tell, too.
some places have back-in only diagonal parking. baltimore, for example, has mostly back-in diagonal spots.
Would love to see a collaboration with geo Peter. He’s such a nice guy
Yup. So much new stuff since the last time they did
HOW TF WOULD THEY COLLAB? EVER THINK BOUT THAT? ONE WILL PLAY WHILE THE OTHER JACKING OF OH OR BETTER YET, ONE WOULD PLAYT WHILE THE OTHER SUCKS HIM OFF???????? I SWEAR THE AUDACITY SOMETIEMS OF PEOPLE COMMENTING BEFORE THINKING
Aussie high schools, aussie rules ground, red quarries for iron (big giveaway for Western Australia if you see green trees and red quarries), australian sparse trees seeing dirt through trees indicating spaced out gumtrees, that last one was really something to look at. Really set off fireworks as I caught on along with ya. Good stuff mate!
I always thought Collie was all about coal mining and not iron, isn't it?
"Driving on the left"
*Proceeds to scour the entirety of South America
You can right click to pan!!! This way you can see the mountains in 3D!!!
Well done on the last round Tom! As an Aussie I didn't pick it as here originally so impressive deductions. For the future, Western Australia has a lot of our mineral mines which dot up and down the entire north-to-south of the state. In the East there a lot more gem mines more towards the centre of the country, north-NSW and towards the desert.
to see penzance pop up after tom being all over the world... whilst I'm watching from Cornwall and am 10 mins away from penzance was crazy! great vid defo should do more of these
Never thought I'd hear a 'Round the Twist' reference on this channel - bloody love that show, glad it found its way over to you in the UK!
There is something timeless about these videos . I feel like i'm being educated whilst being entertained,, but not but a modern gimik , by the physical world.
For the last one, you can look at the perpendicular parking spots on the side of the road. Whenever they are slightly angled (i.e. not perfectly perpendicular to the road) they are angled in such a way to make it easier for people to park. It's quite immediately obvious that this is a country where they drive on the left just looking at the parking spots in the center of the video at 23:27 (or 23:31)
3 times during this video, I thought, "It's too bad there's not a scale ruler on that map, then he could tell how large the lake was..."
18:57 looks like you just started a new map in cities skyline
YES! I used to watch Snobs when I was a kid. It aired in Portugal too. Man, what a throwback.
The Jonah Takalua shout out was quality. For those of you who haven’t watched Summer Heights High, Tom and I highly recommend ;)
Just came to say this. Puck you miss. What did you say Jona? I said puck you miss. With a P.
It's actually one of the best shows IMO. Some of the teachers (most I think) are actual Aussie teachers and you can tell.
@@euckb correct. The lady that played the principal was the actual principal of that school (which was given a different name in the show), and a couple of teachers were real as well. Really adds to the authenticity of the show. Definitely wouldn’t be allowed to go to air nowadays because of how soft and pretentious society has become, but a brilliant show nonetheless. Chris Lilley is a genius.
When I play a lot of geoguessr or spend too much time on google maps I start dreaming in map format. Does that happen to anyone else lol? Also, I've been watching all of Tom's videos nonstop in Covid isolation for like 2 weeks now and all of my thoughts are in his voice. Don't know if that's concerning. Anyway this yellow wallpaper is kinda wild guys
I went camping at Wellington Dam last year, very cool to see it come up on your channel :P
Ur videos are awesome dude.
Round the twist and Jona from Tonga are so good
I now live in Perth but lived in Collie until age 18 and my family are still based there. I went to Collie SHS as a teen, and laughed out loud when Tom said he could almost see a ranga getting bullied- that was likely ME being bullied for my red hair hahaha. The school is pretty standard for a small Western Australian town. It's a town mostly based off of a coal mining industry and so as you saw there are multiple open-cut mines in the surrounding area as the identifying characteristic of Collie. Most people visit Collie for it's loads of great camping, boating, hiking, mountain biking etc.
Thanks for the upload Tom. It was nice to see you try and locate a small town in Australia based on its lakes
Love the Summer Heights High references - immaculate dicktation of Tongan names.
top notch video, really enjoyed that one
Absolutely love the satellite view games Tom!
Geography teacher here. I loved this one. Please do more.
This was amazing! And I can’t believe you mentioned Jonah haha
the comment about jonah killed me bro you're a king!!
I think it would be more challenging if it didn't show such a big area. Still a really enjoyable video though!
If you get an extremely remote village, than it would be next to impossible!
Selecting no move/zoom/pan options before starting reduces the amount you can zoom out incrementaly, afaik
@@crazywarriorscatfan9061 it doesnt really matter the size of the village, all that matters is if there is a distinct feature like a lake or a shoreline. It is very easy to quickly search the map for distinctive shapes. Its much easier than having a street name even, because its hard to find a street even if you know the city or country. Finding a lake is fairly easy as long as you have some basic geography knowledge to know roughly where the place could be like "ok this looks like mediterranean" or "ok this is tropical" that is all you really need, then maybe the cars driving on a side of the road knowledge, then finding the lake or shoreline is pretty simple
for example in this video tom searches the whole of africa for a lake in just a few minutes, then moves on. Compare that to being given some brazilian street name, you're never finding that fucking street, but you can quickly scan the map for a lake over a huge territory of land
@@dakineprotoss Is it fun spending hours on end looking for a street name in a country? Personally, I wouldn't say so, but I understand people may like that challenge :)
@@crazywarriorscatfan9061 not commenting on what is more or less fun, only your comment that it would be "next to impossible" with a small remote village is kind of not true. The village could have 1 street and 1 building that doesnt matter, thats not what youre looking for on this type of geoguessr map. All you need is the landmark like a lake and its fairly simple from there regardless of the town size
Im from the first city, its called Gjakova and i was very happy seeing it for the first time. I love that you guessed it that fast.
Isn't it Orahovac? Am I missing something or?
@@sergejthecreatorofmostepic2459 yes that is a really close town to my city, its a bit smaller but yes you are right. I live in the big city nearby and seeing it made me happy

@@sergejthecreatorofmostepic2459 ohh i love to hear that
I'm mostly Serbian, but my grandpa is from Peć/Peja, such a lovely combo 😀
G'day Tom, I went to Summer Heights High (Brighton Sec, in Victoria). Featured as an extra - when you mentioned Jonah you brought back some fun memories!
I got so excited when i saw the thumbnail 👍 I actually live in Basra province Iraq but I've never been to the town of um qasr !
The floating things. Means you have the weather effects on in the plugin and it is currently raining in the location in question. 😊
This was a great one! I started just as a fan of the straight line challenges and have become a big fan of the geoguesser vids as well now.
Laughed so hard when you made reference to Summer Heights High! Great to see WA on the map 😊
I like how you put thematically appropriate music while speeding up for searching. I burst out laughing when I heard that version of Down Under
Heyyyyy I caught that melody when you sped up in Australia! I love this channel so much man.
Dude, I recognised Collie right away because I used to live near there. I thought there is no chance you will find it. Well done.
at 24:25 it took me a second to recognise the town then two seconds later yep you went east coast first lol. Collie senior high school was actually not too bad for the two years I attended way back in the day. they had a good sports and arts program from memory. also this summer i think the average in south western australia was around 37 degrees c
sheesh even where im from in India is not hotter than that
@@roardinoson7 yeah west australia had a scorcher this year, 50.7 was our top temp and the state day average was hovered around 40 and with a night i think it was 33 so yeah fun times this year lol
@@au_z3736 wow a high of 50.7 unreal! Stay safe out there
every time u post it makes my day so much better ahhhhhhhhh carn't wait for this add to stop so i can watch
@GeoWizard the dots you were getting is the rainViewer extension/plug/feature.
Regarding the lagging or freezing up map, I'm pretty sure I can hear your laptop fans whirling in the background so it's probably your CPU that's being overwhelmed (by whatever the plugins you're using are doing). I can't recommend much while not knowing your setup but definitely check your CPU usage, recording itself would take up a lot so it could add up and cause overheating and so performance issues.
27:20 jonah from tonga reference is elite
Am i the only one who understood and laughed at your Johna Takalua joke at 27:24 Hahah.
My geoguessr heart aches for a simple diverse world play along :(
That Jonah reference though love it
You missed an important clue on the Sumatra round. In the satellite view (from an actual satellite far above the atmosphere) you can see the shadows of the clouds, and they are to the south. This means we are in the southern hemisphere or near the equator during the southern winter.
22:40 The cricket pitch and red bauxite quarries were a giveaway for western Australia.
Love this new map!! Keep doing it plz
Wooop big up Penzance, love to see it! Lots of love from pz
So cool seeing you get Penzance, I live in Truro which is close to there! :)
@22:10 I would add Pembrokeshire to that list too, unbelievable sweeping hills and coastlines. Beautiful place. Proper “I could die here” energy
Amazing video Tom, really enjoyed watching this 😊
Instantly knew round 5, its Collie! Camped many times at that reservoir (wellington dam) and mountianbiked all around there. Beautiful country!
Edit: Collie is one of the cooler and wetter towns in WA. Town itself is fine, could find worse could find better.
JONAH BULLYING A RANGA KILLING THE CHRIS LILLEY REFERENCE TOO WHAT CANT THIS MAN DO
Yessss new vid. You already know it’s a banger🔥
That was a fantastic video, please do more of this series
also, last location 23:45. if you look at how the cars are parked in the upper right hand corner when not parallel to the street. you never go diagonal in on the opposite side. you go nose in on your side.
Would love to see more of these mate, bangin vid
absolutely loved this, keep it up!
Didn't think I'd be getting summer Heights high references on a geowizard video but I'm all about it 😅👌🏼
'puck you miss!'
You made a video about drawing countries from memory and i absolutely loved it. How bout you draw countries flags from memory. That would be nice!
This was great fun, would love to see it again!
That Kuwait guess was no luck, just smart thinking and good instincts!
On the third one I was immediately thinking Euphrat/Tigris, rivers and lakes are just so reliable aid in this
Loving the Round the Twist name drop! Loved that show as a kid.
Very nice map! I'd love to see you do it again.
