Bernardo O'Higgins was the leader of Chilean independence from Spain. The family originally was a part of Spanish royal house but the son ended up financing and leading the independence movement.
Yeah I wasn't sure if Tom was being sarky when saying "famously Chilean name" but I remember reading about this guy. There's an O'Higgins National Park in Chile too I believe

@@bigbabado8296 i hope so, I'm a big fan of the channel and never have suspected anything fishy from him before. That was a bit weird though, he zoomed straight into it on the map. I'm gonna back him up on this one but that has shook my belief in his excellence :P
Me, seeing O'Higgins: "That doesn't sound like a very Chilean name, it must be pretty unique. I'm sure this will be easy to find." Me, looking at a map of Chile: "Well fuck."
I cant believe this game Round 1 - Took me a while to realize where I was and eventually started looking at the south of Chile and found Puerto Natales which sounded similar to the shop name. Found the intersection and it was a perfect score, though I didn't get there as fast as Tom. Round 2 - Recognized Japan of course, but the round seemed familiar to me and then it clicked that I've actually had this exact round before, a long time ago and I even remember seeing a clue about a highway number. So I followed the highway number and clicked on Niigata because I faintly remember that being where this round took place the first time I played it. Not quite a perfect score but a damn lucky round. Round 3 - Holy shit, unbelievably I've ALSO had this round before, and I remember it being in Albania but I didn't know which town. Now I was determined to find this place, so I looked in about 10 different towns for this road and somehow managed to find it thanks to the american mode shop, so another perfect score! Round 4 - Saw the museum name, figured it must translate to Costa Rican museum of Arts or something along those lines, so I looked for this museum that I assumed to be in San Jose purely because it's the biggest city in Costa Rica. Found it and once again, a perfect score. This is the luckiest game I've ever had surely the last round can't mess it up right? Round 5 - Well shit. It's somewhere in africa, but I have no clue where this could be. I did try to use the sun but didn't find it too useful so I just went with my gut and clicked in Kenya. And just like that my luckiest game went to shit lmao. Idk how Tom just goes, "oh yeah lets go Senegal" the man is insane
I did pretty much the exact same thing. I didn't have quite as good of luck with the Japan, chile, or albania guesses but I was around 4500 on each. For the last one, I thought they were driving on the left side of the road so I picked Kenya and got 60...
Played along the first round before GeoWizard in my head : huh he's never going to find out this location *GeoWizard : finds the city within 10 seconds on the map*
In Temuco, a Chilean place 900 miles north, there's a street crossing with these two exact street names, also in the correct general direction (O'Higgins E-W, Blanco Encalada N-S). How do I know that? Well... :D Tbf I didn't consider the meat shop name at all, thought Natales just was some Spanish word for whatever...
I think this is my favourite format on this channel, really happy that you're keeping it alive :) 1- Argentina or Chili. I saw a name on the car which was the same as a city is southern Argentina. Got baited. 268km/4,132 2- I saw the road number above "116" I found one in Kyoto and clicked in the city. Baited again lol there was another road 116. 436km/3,667 3- Looks like southern balkans, A lot of mercs and no cyrillic so I placed a point in Tirana. I should've taken my time. 113km/4,613 4- Obviously Costa Rica with the StreetView on the Sidewalk. Very easy Round. 3m/5,000 5- It really looks like Senegal, the trees look like it's quite close to the sea. Wanted to click on Thiès but I thought it was a small village. 20km/4,928 Total : 22,340
Japan was fairly easy, just time consuming. There was a road 116 sign which is about 100km long and ends in Niigata on the north. There was a shrine and a cemetery behind you, and a Y-shaped junction beyond the the main junction. Then I only had to check the major towns along the way to find it with the help of the compass
Can't believe Busetas Heredianas made an appearance on GeoWizard. Lived right outside of Heredia for a couple of years. Got some nostalgia seeing the red and yellow bus.
I am here as Japanese to defend him. Even I cannot find any single clew on that spot to identify where it is. Those street name means nothing except if you live exact those area. so it's a doomed challenge lol
There's a 116 national road sign to the left, facing the bigger road, that was the key clue. Spent like 15 minutes trying to find it (as in classic Geoguessr fashion, found everything between 110 and 120 in 2 minutes except for 116), when I found it I clicked anywhere in Niigata where the road layout looked close enough. Tbf some of these clues are so well hidden, on the Albania round as another commenter pointed out there's the city name on a manhole when you face straight downwards onto the road. Never in a million years would I have found that.
That ones actually not a hard one though, the Google Street Car has only gone through about 3 countries in the north of Africa. A police car follows the Google Car in all of Nigeria, so it's only really BF, Ghana or Senegal.
Rules for Africa : Tunisia looks dry mediterranean, speaks arabic, a lot of black plates (not to mistake with Jordan), drives on the right Senegal speaks french, very dry sahelian vegetation, drives on the right but mostly dirt roads. Roof racks Ghana has black tape on one of the roof rack (really easy clue, 100% accurate), looks quite green almost like brazil sometimes, drives on the right, speaks english Nigeria often has a police car following you, not always. English, right side driving. Landscapes like Ghana Kenya drives on the left and speaks english, quite green too. Uganda is very similar to Kenya but much rarer. These 4 are very similar, driving side and black tape are the best clues. I don't know how to distinguish Uganda and Kenya. Botswana is extremely dry, very flat with very dusty white ground Lesotho is very mountainous, almost no trees and freen low grass South Africa sometimes looks a lot like Australia, dutch looking names can be helpful. (Also SA has yellow side and white middle lines, Australia is full white). eSwatini is quite green and mountainous, a bit like Lesotho but with more vegetation
yes when you first watch it looks insane. but when you watch for a while and pick up clues then start playing yourself its surprising how many countries you can pick up!

20694 points 1 - Found the town Natales, didn't find the crossroads, 350 metres away 2 - Found a sign saying road 116 on a wall, scanned through the entire country on the map to find the 116 road, 1 km away 3 - Went for Albania, picked the same town as you Shkodër, 190 km away 4 - Saw immediately the Museum of Arts, went to San José in Costa Rica, after a few minutes found the spot, 20 metres away 5 - Torn between Ghana and Senegal, went for Ghana, 1090 km away
Best format this GW 👍 Got 21,093: 1: 5k, fairly standard. 2: 3,581 - random guess near Osaka, ah well. 3: 2,613 - went Northwest Turkey, probs should have hedged on Greece. Ah well. 4: 4,990 - think you've had that round before, remembered it was San Jose. Decent. 5: 4,909 fairly clearly Senegal, went in the middle of Dakar and Thies. Decent. Not too bad all round, well played GW 👏
Thanks to Tom's previous videoes my first instinct on the last one was "Yeah, Senegal" because obviously there is very little information to extract, so I thought maybe Dakar, but I realised I couldnt really see any seaside, so I thought "A, what the hell, we'll go inlands" and randomly clicked Thies. 4,995 points from that, what a lucky guess.
Yeeeees, finally my first time, where I've beaten you wohoo, so happy, keep the good content coming. I have to even out the score, cause it's like 50 - 1 haha If you didn't have that stinker in Japan I would have lost again, thankfully I picked northern Tokyo which was a bit closer
24144 - Solid! I spent a while looking on r3 for the road shape in the country, found it eventually in the city it was in. Pretty happy with that. Also 5k'd r1 & r4, and was 4 points off perfect r5. r2 was the point-killer for me.
Every time I get a Japan round I somehow manage to click on the opposite side of the country from where I am. Is there a way to determine if you're north or south from the landscape?
Tip about Albania: Car plates have blue sprites on both sides, not just left side (Like in Italy and France), also some cars have red striped car plates (like in Kyrgyzstan). That helps me a lot in Albania rounds.
"Noone is following us, so it can't be Nigeria" Tom, your dry humor always gets me. You make these sly comments that if your aren't paying attention, you won't even know a joke passed you by.
That first round is just mean. On the van it says 'Go el calafate' and I found a place (not too far, luckily) called El Calafate. It all added up with the surroundings, but for the life of me I couldn't find the right junction. So I just clicked. 155km away, 4476 points, could be worse, though. Second round: Japan, wild guess near Tokyo 4191 points Third round: I was convinced it was Turkey, due to the blue on both sides of the number plates. People looked Turkish, I thought the writing looked Turkish. Went for Eskisehir, 2762 points. Why do you always get these countries right?! Fourth round: Obviously found the clues that we were in Costa Rica. The mountains in the north and south guided me towards San José, but I could not find the museum. 2km away, 4992. Happy with that. Fifth round: Judging by the roof rack, I thought Ghana and I was so happy when you mentioned that. Even happier when you went for Senegal, because there would be a slight chance that I've beaten you I think. But of course you were right and I wasn't. 1200 points. Total of 17621 points. In general I'm pretty satisfied with this game. One day I will beat you, Tom!! Cheers!
at about 5:35 you can zoom into the blue intersection sign and make out a road labeled 116 and the first letter of the city which is an H...really helps narrow it down
That's the name of the neighborhood (Higashinakadōri), and not that of the city itself (Niigata). The city name is there in kanji at the top of the sign, but it's illegible in that shot.
@GeoWizard, on the Japan map you missed the route 116 sign. Took me 25 minutes to find route 116, then spent another 15 minutes following it. You can also see the four symbols on the same sign as route 116 that indicate the intersection. I spent another 15 minutes scrolling along route 116 until I saw an intersection that matched the street layout and confirmed it was correct with the four symbols and ended up 1m from the pin :D
A mí me salió un dia, un poco más cerca del semáforo de la Nissan y otro día dentro del Cenac. Por alguna razón tenemos muy poca cobertura en CR en street view , está La Sabana, la UCR , algunos sectores de San Pedro y escalante .
1 - chilenian flag. Searched for Bernardo O'Higgins and thought it is a town, found the national park and the lake with that name, looked further south and found Puerto Natales, which correlates with the shop name. Looked for the street names and found the junction. 2m - 5000 2 - saw the japanese road number sign. Searched for the 116, took me a while. No more clues, that i could have used, clicked somewhere near Tsubame. Bit too south. 28km - 4901 3 - looked like a balcan state to me. Went for serbia, Novi Sad. Too north. 522km - 3448 4 - went for Costa Rica, cause of the museum. Zoomed into capital, searched for a big street nort to south, zoomed further in and immediately found the museum, park behind the museum and bank national (BN) on the other side of the road confirmed my decision. 5m - 5000 5 - had absolutely no clue, went for ghana, way off. 1902km - 1292 Total: 19641
15,723 was my score. Disappointed in the first one considering it was my own country. I guessed the town but I was too lazy too look for the streets lmao. Always happy when you upload play alongs!
@@607 Easy... I zoomed in on the map, and when I saw Japan, I just clicked on the first city I saw that wasn't Tokyo... didn't even get in close! ... so yeah.. 100% luck! :)
Got 17877 points. I was so frustrated with: 1) you pointing out the sky in Albania, because I'd probably have known the country from that (guessed Hungary). 2) how quickly you found the museum, when I spent half an hour searching around San José. Oh well, still fun like always :) Also the 25k in Chile helped a bit.
This dude could work for like a military intelligence, trying to figure places from photographs. Like if this youtube gig goes tits up thats a job right there.
"Got a big crack in the sky there" Flatearthers: "GLASS DOME CONFIRMED!!1!" (Sorry I've just seen some flat earth videos recently and they are HILARIOUS!)
Got a score of 17,131, not too shabby. 1. guessed central Chile, right country wrong region. 2. immediately knew it was Japan, guessed tokyo, was Niigata. 3. Guessed southern Hungary for some reason, was Albania. 4. Guessed El Salvador, was Costa Rica. Should've recognized the museum literally said Costa Rica on it, dang it. 5. Now this was my absolute best round, I can't even believe how close I got. Thought it might be Senegal, guessed Thies, was right!!! 2.3 miles away.
Hah, watched this when it came out and then just played along with your challenge "Geoguessr - 3 Minutes Per Round (A Diverse World) [PLAY ALONG] " from May last year, and you started right next to the Costa Rica Art Museum, but went the other way, got a perfect score in that round in about 3 seconds.
I haven't played this in a while, managed to confuse myself a bunch. 1. Immediately thought Chile, but then misled by Argentinian town names and a lack of mountains to the east, didn't think to double check. Should have given more credence to a very blurry URL with a country code that looked like it might be more consistent with Chile's than Argentina's. 150 km or so. 2. No clue where to look inside Japan besides that the vegetation said probably Honshu, just put down a marker in a flattish area outside Tokyo. 200 something km. 3. Misled again, this time by the word "tapete" (referring to rugs) on the store sign. Recognized a Romance language cognate and picked Romania. 500- something km. More words might have helped, might not. 4. Most frustrating round, I just could not find the spot despite searching San Jose and environs for 15 minutes. Then I finally give up and it's on the edge of a big park and I'd checked all the small parks but skipped that one. Why? I don't know. Hadn't completely convinced myself it even was a park, I guess. Also didn't think the road would be so big on the map. 2km, 4990-something. 5. Had heard the meta about the roofrack, otherwise might easily have clicked somewhere else in west Africa. I was pretty far away in the country, though. Total for all five rounds: 20874.
Got the first one bang on. Second one, there's a sign that shows you to be on the 116 in Japan. It's at an awkward angle, but the only English writing you can see. Third one I guessed Romania. The places had Romance sounding names, although sometimes weirdly looking like broken English. Albania never even crossed my mind, although it makes sense that it should have with its Italian influence. Fourth one I got bang on too. Fifth one I went Ghana. I noticed the footballs, which made me think the area was in West Africa, since those areas are the most known for football in Africa. I was in that situation too. Ghana or Senegal. What made me go Ghana in the end was seeing the women not in hijab. You can clearly see that woman's cornrows. Senegal is a majority Muslim country. Ghana, majority Christian.
I think this time you gave up too quickly on the Japan round. There was a Sign with the road number 116 on a "guitar plec shape" (which seems to be the biggest kind of roads in Japan). With a little bit time on the map I managed to find the road going through Niigata. Got 4959 points. I really messed up all the other rounds and got a very proud score of 7.703
Fun fact about Albania: 40% of the cars on the roads are Mercedes, especially in the capital area. When you moved around and I saw that sea of Mercs, I immediately thought you are there.
18,810 points 1 - Guessed a city in Argentina El Chalten, which is near the O'Higgins national park 268km/4131 2 - Saw the 116 highway sign and found that highway in Niigata 6km/4976 3 - I thought Bulgaria 389km/3789 4 - Got it by the museum 35m/5000 5 - I was doing so well until now! Didn't know! Guess Ethiopia outside of Lagos 2388km/914
I see some ppl leaving tips for Tom here, so i'll join y'all. In albania they have a blue badge on the right side of the number plate and in senegal they have the grey roof rack and a rift in the sky.
You've had that first round before in another video! I remember seeing the gocalafatechalten.com on the taxi and being misled into thinking it was further north around El Calafate and El Chalten...
I don't know how, but I got the Albanian one right. I wasn't even sure if it was Albania, but I just clicked randomly on a mid sized Albanian city and got 5,000 points
Round 3: Sees a large waste bin. "Can we get anything from this bin?" Zooms in... Sees a plastic bag with the letters C O visible....: "Hm... C, O, ..... Yeah, that's quite romantic. Romania." 🤣🤣

4 - Saw immediately the Museum of Arts, went to San José in Costa Rica, after a few minutes found the spot, 20 metres away
5 - Torn between Ghana and Senegal, went for Ghana, 1090 km away
Best format this GW 👍
Got 21,093:
1: 5k, fairly standard.
2: 3,581 - random guess near Osaka, ah well.
3: 2,613 - went Northwest Turkey, probs should have hedged on Greece. Ah well.
4: 4,990 - think you've had that round before, remembered it was San Jose. Decent.
5: 4,909 fairly clearly Senegal, went in the middle of Dakar and Thies. Decent.
Not too bad all round, well played GW 👏
Love your analysis of people on GeoGuessr “an Asda George styled chequered shirt” 😂
Nice video Tom! Keep them coming!
i spent so damn long looking for the costa rica museum and he just scrolls right onto it accidentally AAHHHHH
Whenever I watch your videos, I feel good and relaxed. With love from turkey 🇹🇷❤️
Thanks to Tom's previous videoes my first instinct on the last one was "Yeah, Senegal" because obviously there is very little information to extract, so I thought maybe Dakar, but I realised I couldnt really see any seaside, so I thought "A, what the hell, we'll go inlands" and randomly clicked Thies. 4,995 points from that, what a lucky guess.
Yeeeees, finally my first time, where I've beaten you wohoo, so happy, keep the good content coming. I have to even out the score, cause it's like 50 - 1 haha
If you didn't have that stinker in Japan I would have lost again, thankfully I picked northern Tokyo which was a bit closer
24144 - Solid! I spent a while looking on r3 for the road shape in the country, found it eventually in the city it was in. Pretty happy with that. Also 5k'd r1 & r4, and was 4 points off perfect r5. r2 was the point-killer for me.
Every time I get a Japan round I somehow manage to click on the opposite side of the country from where I am. Is there a way to determine if you're north or south from the landscape?
Me in my game: mmh could be south america
Him: Chile
Legend
Him: Ok, Chile
Me, a chilean: no way, we don't have that sofisticated walksides.... Oh, ok he is right
6:25. It was some what obvious it was Albania because they always have lots of old Mercedes. Always a nice hint
Tip about Albania: Car plates have blue sprites on both sides, not just left side (Like in Italy and France), also some cars have red striped car plates (like in Kyrgyzstan). That helps me a lot in Albania rounds.
"Noone is following us, so it can't be Nigeria"
Tom, your dry humor always gets me. You make these sly comments that if your aren't paying attention, you won't even know a joke passed you by.
In Nigeria there is always a convoy car following the google car
That first round is just mean. On the van it says 'Go el calafate' and I found a place (not too far, luckily) called El Calafate. It all added up with the surroundings, but for the life of me I couldn't find the right junction. So I just clicked. 155km away, 4476 points, could be worse, though.
Second round: Japan, wild guess near Tokyo 4191 points
Third round: I was convinced it was Turkey, due to the blue on both sides of the number plates. People looked Turkish, I thought the writing looked Turkish. Went for Eskisehir, 2762 points. Why do you always get these countries right?!
Fourth round: Obviously found the clues that we were in Costa Rica. The mountains in the north and south guided me towards San José, but I could not find the museum. 2km away, 4992. Happy with that.
Fifth round: Judging by the roof rack, I thought Ghana and I was so happy when you mentioned that. Even happier when you went for Senegal, because there would be a slight chance that I've beaten you I think. But of course you were right and I wasn't. 1200 points.
Total of 17621 points. In general I'm pretty satisfied with this game.
One day I will beat you, Tom!! Cheers!
at about 5:35 you can zoom into the blue intersection sign and make out a road labeled 116 and the first letter of the city which is an H...really helps narrow it down
That's the name of the neighborhood (Higashinakadōri), and not that of the city itself (Niigata). The city name is there in kanji at the top of the sign, but it's illegible in that shot.
Am I crazy or has he gotten the Costa Rica round before? He was stuck on the side walk, just down the way
Yeah I think it was a no moving, scrolling or zooming video
Definitely, I was thinking the same. Been there before.
I recognised the Chile round also
Yes he's got that one before, just next to the park. "Cleveland" bus. He guessed by the airport.
James Allen Yes, he's had that exact intersection in the Chile one before.
12:50
SIgn: Cajero Automatico (basically an ATM)
TOM: So that's it guys we got our street name.
Love the classics. Glad your doing more of them.
@GeoWizard, on the Japan map you missed the route 116 sign. Took me 25 minutes to find route 116, then spent another 15 minutes following it. You can also see the four symbols on the same sign as route 116 that indicate the intersection. I spent another 15 minutes scrolling along route 116 until I saw an intersection that matched the street layout and confirmed it was correct with the four symbols and ended up 1m from the pin :D
Just watched your 'How Not To Travel Europe' videos last night and now I watch this and you're wearing the same t-shirt! haha
i made nearly 4000... it always makes me speechless how you are always analyse the details and hit the right guess! Wonderful!
Never in my life I thought you would get a round in my country!!! Proud Costa Rican fan!!
A mí me salió un dia, un poco más cerca del semáforo de la Nissan y otro día dentro del Cenac. Por alguna razón tenemos muy poca cobertura en CR en street view , está La Sabana, la UCR , algunos sectores de San Pedro y escalante .
1 - chilenian flag. Searched for Bernardo O'Higgins and thought it is a town, found the national park and the lake with that name, looked further south and found Puerto Natales, which correlates with the shop name. Looked for the street names and found the junction. 2m - 5000
2 - saw the japanese road number sign. Searched for the 116, took me a while. No more clues, that i could have used, clicked somewhere near Tsubame. Bit too south. 28km - 4901
3 - looked like a balcan state to me. Went for serbia, Novi Sad. Too north. 522km - 3448
4 - went for Costa Rica, cause of the museum. Zoomed into capital, searched for a big street nort to south, zoomed further in and immediately found the museum, park behind the museum and bank national (BN) on the other side of the road confirmed my decision. 5m - 5000
5 - had absolutely no clue, went for ghana, way off. 1902km - 1292
Total: 19641
As if he has played enough so he knows the tape arrangments of the google car 😂😂
15,723 was my score. Disappointed in the first one considering it was my own country. I guessed the town but I was too lazy too look for the streets lmao. Always happy when you upload play alongs!
Pulling out these oldies again….and they are still great fun!
This was my first play along. 70 meters on the second round, which felt amazing :D Apart from that, you beat me good :)
Jesper Hansen How did you do that? Reading the comments, it seems like everyone had trouble with that one.
@@607 Easy... I zoomed in on the map, and when I saw Japan, I just clicked on the first city I saw that wasn't Tokyo... didn't even get in close!
... so yeah.. 100% luck! :)
Jesper Hansen Haha, okay!
On the albania one, the moment i saw so many old mercs i knew it had to be albania
Got 17877 points.
I was so frustrated with:
1) you pointing out the sky in Albania, because I'd probably have known the country from that (guessed Hungary).
2) how quickly you found the museum, when I spent half an hour searching around San José.
Oh well, still fun like always :) Also the 25k in Chile helped a bit.
This dude could work for like a military intelligence, trying to figure places from photographs.
Like if this youtube gig goes tits up thats a job right there.
"Got a big crack in the sky there"
Flatearthers: "GLASS DOME CONFIRMED!!1!" (Sorry I've just seen some flat earth videos recently and they are HILARIOUS!)
12:15 British people when the sun appears for the first time in 10 years
Got a score of 17,131, not too shabby.
1. guessed central Chile, right country wrong region.
2. immediately knew it was Japan, guessed tokyo, was Niigata.
3. Guessed southern Hungary for some reason, was Albania.
4. Guessed El Salvador, was Costa Rica. Should've recognized the museum literally said Costa Rica on it, dang it.
5. Now this was my absolute best round, I can't even believe how close I got. Thought it might be Senegal, guessed Thies, was right!!! 2.3 miles away.
*finds the letters C and O in a bin
Tom: "this is quite latiny and romancy"
Him: ok Chile
Me, a chilean: No way, we don't have that sofisticated sidewalks... Oh ok he's right
For that last guess I went to the toilet and took a dump. I placed my marker there and got a perfect score.
For the Albanian round you could find the townname by looking down at the road and finding a manhole cover saying KORCE
I felt the need to comment on that unexpected Kylie Minogue's Spinning Around reference 😂
Please keep playing this format. We love it
1:50 "Let's get in there. Im excited to get in there."
Hah, watched this when it came out and then just played along with your challenge "Geoguessr - 3 Minutes Per Round (A Diverse World) [PLAY ALONG]
" from May last year, and you started right next to the Costa Rica Art Museum, but went the other way, got a perfect score in that round in about 3 seconds.
All the non UK people scratching their heads " Asda George chequered shirt ?! "
The first one in Chile is the exact same position he had in his upload from 17th of may 2019.
First time I played a challenge, did surprisingly well, was only 2km off in Niigata. Lots of fun, will try again next time.
I haven't played this in a while, managed to confuse myself a bunch.
1. Immediately thought Chile, but then misled by Argentinian town names and a lack of mountains to the east, didn't think to double check. Should have given more credence to a very blurry URL with a country code that looked like it might be more consistent with Chile's than Argentina's. 150 km or so.
2. No clue where to look inside Japan besides that the vegetation said probably Honshu, just put down a marker in a flattish area outside Tokyo. 200 something km.
3. Misled again, this time by the word "tapete" (referring to rugs) on the store sign. Recognized a Romance language cognate and picked Romania. 500- something km. More words might have helped, might not.
4. Most frustrating round, I just could not find the spot despite searching San Jose and environs for 15 minutes. Then I finally give up and it's on the edge of a big park and I'd checked all the small parks but skipped that one. Why? I don't know. Hadn't completely convinced myself it even was a park, I guess. Also didn't think the road would be so big on the map. 2km, 4990-something.
5. Had heard the meta about the roofrack, otherwise might easily have clicked somewhere else in west Africa. I was pretty far away in the country, though. Total for all five rounds: 20874.
Got the first one bang on.
Second one, there's a sign that shows you to be on the 116 in Japan. It's at an awkward angle, but the only English writing you can see.
Third one I guessed Romania. The places had Romance sounding names, although sometimes weirdly looking like broken English. Albania never even crossed my mind, although it makes sense that it should have with its Italian influence.
Fourth one I got bang on too.
Fifth one I went Ghana. I noticed the footballs, which made me think the area was in West Africa, since those areas are the most known for football in Africa. I was in that situation too. Ghana or Senegal. What made me go Ghana in the end was seeing the women not in hijab. You can clearly see that woman's cornrows. Senegal is a majority Muslim country. Ghana, majority Christian.
I could watch you playing Geoguessr for hours - keep it up !!!!👍😎
On the Japan round there was a road sign that said 116 that you missed up on the right
7:25 should take note of the massive amount of Mercedes that are there
16:43 "No one's following us so we can't be in Nigeria"
Is he cracking a joke or are there people following the google car in nigeria?
@@he-pu5rr in Nigeria there’s a car that trails the google car around everywhere
@@raz5087 ok thanks a lot👍🏽
I think this time you gave up too quickly on the Japan round. There was a Sign with the road number 116 on a "guitar plec shape" (which seems to be the biggest kind of roads in Japan). With a little bit time on the map I managed to find the road going through Niigata. Got 4959 points. I really messed up all the other rounds and got a very proud score of 7.703
on the 2nd ronud there was a street sign saying highway 116, and i was lucky enough to find the street name to get a 5000
Fun fact about Albania: 40% of the cars on the roads are Mercedes, especially in the capital area. When you moved around and I saw that sea of Mercs, I immediately thought you are there.
Tomastico LMAO
18,810 points
1 - Guessed a city in Argentina El Chalten, which is near the O'Higgins national park 268km/4131
2 - Saw the 116 highway sign and found that highway in Niigata 6km/4976
3 - I thought Bulgaria 389km/3789
4 - Got it by the museum 35m/5000
5 - I was doing so well until now! Didn't know! Guess Ethiopia outside of Lagos 2388km/914
I love it when you see a place you’ve actually been at
Frigo is the Italian word for fridge ;)
I can only beat you in Sweden :-) Lot's of place names in the middle of noooooooooowhere! And I get the "åäö" ;-)
"No one's following us so it can't be Nigeria"
LMAO
that wasn’t a joke
Yo love ur vids, also i joined ur fantasy league :)
What fantasy league, may I ask?
@@kaluchovsky he made one
@@TR6YT I bet, but what game? Is it FPL?
@@kaluchovsky yes, check out his latest community post
I see some ppl leaving tips for Tom here, so i'll join y'all. In albania they have a blue badge on the right side of the number plate and in senegal they have the grey roof rack and a rift in the sky.
i’ve always wondered why he wears headphones since there’s no audio for him to be listening to?
You've had that first round before in another video! I remember seeing the gocalafatechalten.com on the taxi and being misled into thinking it was further north around El Calafate and El Chalten...
14:44 BN usually means Banc Nacional, I think. Which also was featured on the map...
6:39 lad really said 🚶🏼♂️
This boy is happy when he sees another geowizard urban world vid
I dont mean to brag but I definitely knew you was on Earth in every round.
I dare you to do China no moving. That will be a real challenge for you and fun to watch!
You missed a clue in Japan: a sign with national road number
SO keen for this. Nice one Tom.
I don't know how, but I got the Albanian one right. I wasn't even sure if it was Albania, but I just clicked randomly on a mid sized Albanian city and got 5,000 points
Me: Spends 10 minutes thinking the Chile Flags were Texas Flags
GW immediately: "Chile"
God you're too good. I got a pathetic 13k but I did beat you on the final round though!
Round 3: Sees a large waste bin. "Can we get anything from this bin?" Zooms in...
Sees a plastic bag with the letters C O visible....: "Hm... C, O, ..... Yeah, that's quite romantic. Romania." 🤣🤣
3:36 its says "blanco encalada" right in front of YOUR EYES !!!
