- Been looking forward to this one. Thanks to Geography Challenges for making this sick map. The clues are there, but how will I fare?
PLAY ALONG:
Play your round, put your marker down, then switch tabs back to RUclips to watch my attempt and the result. This way you don't ruin the game or the video!

It reminds me of another you tuber Harald Balder! lol
Video idea: Your subscribers send you pictures of them travelling or on holiday somewhere and you have to guess where they went.
Yessss
YES!
Yasss
How about just a picture from somewhere in their hometown. I'm sure he has subs from all over the world
Good idea!
It isn’t a Geowizard video without “are we filming?”
SUPRISE! I am the funniest YTer evah!!!! Just kidding, it was no surprise. Everybody knew already. HAHAHHAHA!!!! That was an amazing joke (it was real talk though). WAWAWAWAWA!!!! Good afternoon, dear mason
AxxL no one asked you. Let him be.
@AxxL i think it's trying to communicate
It's not a full package without a "get in" or a "surely"
Also, there isn't a video of Harald Baldr without "Am I filming? Yes, I am" :)
Thanks for playing my map Tom, well played
GC GW collab when
Me yelling at the screen about the slip roads when they're RIGHT THERE.
100% this
Looking for this comment
Exactly dude
There are dozens of us!
“It does beg the question....where are we?”
Ah yes, great job GeoWizard, that is the entire purpose of the game.
14:48 there is a map on actual street view showing the coastline. Funny how both maps were on the screen at that point
14:37 "Isn't Durres on a big lake, though?" Yes, the lake is called the Adriatic 😂
The world ocean, the biggest lake of all.
That’s not funny
I’m albanian and i was laughing my ass off😂
Tejvir Panesar its the adratic sea
That's hilarious
I like these style of maps. They seem fun
@@Tvngsten Ah, subreddit links outside of reddit are tight
@@Tvngsten that subreddit links have no purpose in yt comments i think
they're my favorite to watch on his channel, like i loved i saw the sign..
i've also been really enjoying the perfect scores on every country attempt

right, the beard is in the south.. we're somewhere in Iraq.
Y'know, I honestly wouldn't doubt it.
we not gonna question this mans channel name?
I snorted out my coffee
Am I the only one screaming at my screen "You are holding the mouse 3mm away from the name of the place you are going to, but you can't see it!" when he can't see "Westerplatte" in Gdansk? 🤣
sooo true, same here
Same with Durres
Yep, got too intense for me to watch, I had to come to find support from here. 😆

Avery -_-
The person who got mad at communist jokes you snowflake. I still remember that even tho it was 3 years ago, it was on an infographics show video.
15:50 “Ferry to Bileta.” Hahaha, I only speak English (and that just barely), but that certainly sounds like Romance language for “ferry ticket.”
It does mean ticket , though Albanian isnt a romance language
@@karadanos2883 It's not considered a romance language (it's a unique indo-european language, the only other surviving one being greek - hence it is not closly related to *any* other language). It had, however, heavy influences from greek and latin. So much so, that wikipedia has a page titled "albanian-romanian linguistic relationship". An example of those is biletë (pl. bileta) for "tickets" - compare biglietto in italian, billet in french or bilet in romanian.
@@QemeH Isnt maltan a unique indo ueropean language? Also finnish?
@@calebnowland9272 Do you mean "maltese" (as in: the language spoken on Malta besides english)? That is considered a semitic language, more specifically a "classical arabic" language - with strong latinisation, which makes it distinct from it's cousin, the modern arabic.
And finnish is an entirely different language family on it's own. It's neither indo-european nor anything else. So you are right in that finnish is even *less* related to any other language.
@@QemeH Ahh, got it. Thanks for clarifying both.
GeoWizard: "Isn't Durres at a big lake?"
Me: "Well, if you wanna call the mediterranean a lake... it *IS* kinda big..."

@@tomjarrett8290 The adriatic is kinda part of the mediterranean...
@@tomjarrett8290 That's like correcting someone by saying 'London is in England' when someone says 'London is in the UK'.

Can’t believe he didn’t stop and appreciate the insanely beautiful Norway round
He's literally there now. I think he'll get his fill.
That was breathtaking
That’s what a typical landscape looks like in British Columbia
1. Relatively easy, the main clue was Andorra La Vella and then the other place names.
2. Took longer since I thought it was in Portugal first, then I realised that the sun is in the north, so we're in the southern hemisphere. Looked in South America, found Porto Allegro but it was tricky. I also noticed that there's a train track north but it took a while for me to find the place.
3. Westerplatte, Gdańsk. Since I'm Polish that one was obvious. Also other clues such as the road shape, road 89, the ferry terminal, sea to the west etc.
4. Obviously Norway. Was looking at E16 at all the wrong places (while looking for a place named Åsane). Then I realised there's a cycling path sign saying Bergen so I started looking near Bergen and eventually found the place.
5. Thought it was near the border with Kosovo (i.e. Serbia) due to the Kosovo sign but then I realised it was in Durres. I found Golehm Plazhi (the beach) but I couldn't find a place that matched nearby. Then I realised there's a port and ferries nearby so I started looking for the port. Eventually I found a matching roundabout and the bridge was marked on the map so I knew I found the right place.
25 k?
25k?
Yeah i got 5k each except for number 2. Looking for ages in the wrong country haha.
@@pebbles3842 Same haha, 20009 points in the end. Gave up on 2 and just randomly guessed somewhere in Portugal :D
License plates are a good clue. Portugal and Spain use the standard wide EU format whist most South American countries have plates which are narrow and tall, like in the US.
“Ferry to bileta” 😂
Was also going to comment this 🤣
I'm from Porto Alegre! Really surprised to see my city here. And nice guess!
Mas ba tche, tamo junto
@@rodrigomahfuz dá para ver o prédio que eu trabalhava ali kkkkkk
e eu achando que era mexico antes de ver escrito porto alegre
Ahhh mais gente de Poa que assiste
É os guri de Porto Alegre, daleee hahaha
Round 1: Saw Andorra La Vella and after studying the map for several minutes, somehow managed to choose the right corner - 5000 points.
Round 2: Immediatelly spotted Porto Alegre, but didn't find the train station, not the mentioned Association - 4979 points.
Round 3: Quite easy, too many signs giving the exact place - 5000 points.
Round 4: Searched around Asane for a few minutes, but chose the wrong junction in the end... - 4958 points.
Round 5: A bit of a tricky one, I wasn't sure where exactly around Durres is this place. Tried to look at the different roundabouts on the map, but finally went a bit south - 4952 points.
Total: 24 889 points.
Really happy with my score. Could be better, of course, but it requires a lot of time staring at the map to find the exact same places.
33km by foot to Bergen. That's a lot.
6 - 7 hours at 5km/hr
Well, it's not that bad. I've been on a lot of walks/hikes more than 30km. Last Sunday I walked 25.4km in the mountains (Beskid mountains in southern Poland), no problem to be honest.
@@Rickeeey1 sounds amazing tbh
@@Rickeeey1 that sounds fun.
@@Rickeeey1 30km is standard day day hike distance in our mountains too.
11:02 "It's just the one bridge, is it?" - I immediately went Hot Fuzz at this.
"No luck finding them bridges, then?"
"It's just the one bridge, actually!"
i checked for this comment before writing the same thing lol
"Isn't Durres on a big lake though?"
*on the Mediterranean sea*
I guess you could call that a big lake
Tom “are we recording” Davies
I nearly shat myself seeing Porto Alegre and recognising it in the first 2 secs
bloody well done mate, great game!
Mano, exatamente o que aconteceu comigo 🤣🤣🤣
É impressionante como a gente reconhece na hora
3:36 Glad you got the 5,000 on that one :)
Love from Porto Alegre
Sad fact: WWII started at Westerplatte in Gdansk.
Or on a bridge in China, depending on how you see it!
@@worldcomicsreview354 Well, on this location, people started to shoot at each other in the worst way, so it might as well be the starting location
I didn't know where Bergen was so I was examining every fucking inch of the E16 to the east of Oslo. I was so pissed off that none of the road was to the south of the river till I realized I was on the other side of the fucking country.
Got a perfect score. I struggled on the Porto Alegre because I didn't see the "Porto Alegre" below the sign for a while. The Norway one almost threw me off with the track to Burgen making me think the bridge was to the north-west of Burgen, but then I saw the "E16" leading to the east. Also spent a while on Durres because I was analyzing the wrong roundabout for far too long.
1. By somewhat reason I ignored the 5min to Andora La Vella center clue, so ended up randomly searching for any objects starting with "Pu*** de ***" in whole Andorra. After 10 mins of doing so I got bored and put my mark somewhere near the capital. 4986.
2. That one was also easy, since I'm familiar with large brazilian cities, but again I wasn't clever enough to spot the train terminals and therefore started matching the road junctions and bents to those on the map. Finally, got bored again and clicked at what seemingly was the solution. Well, it was not. 4997.
3. This one was relatively easy. Eventually found road A1 near Katowice but failed to find road 91. Then I turned around and spotted Port Gdansk Westerplatte title which headed me to the correct crossroad. 5000.
4. Quite easy as well. Found the road E16 origin near Bergen, then the bridge fell into my sight, so being a bit lucky, I solved this round in 5 minutes. 5000.
5. The Albania round was a bit tricky to me. First, like the majority of you, I sought for a big junction near Golem village, but then I realized that what later turned out to be a bay was in the south, while the coast at Golem beach looks like a straight from-north-to-south line. My guess was further supported by the fact that the location actually was roughly the midway between Tirana (37 km) and Rrogozhine (35). Another clue was the tramline right in front of the camera. So I turned my attention to Durres and that actually was correct. Another 5000.
Still waiting for the day you play a North Korea game. There are North Korea games on GeoGuessr

Straight line across norway hype! Around Narvik I'm guessing?

Could also feasibly start from Hell, near Trondheim. Right next to the airport.
I'm curious how he defines all the way across. Just from the border to the nearest Fjord? Or to open ocean?
@@Mortarion6666 Love starting in hell. Which is coincidentally also a place you might end, if you drown in a fjord somewhere.
olafminesaw2 if it has saltwater, he counts the fjord as part of the ocean. You can also see it in the last episode of his first attempt across wales
3:36 I live in Porto Alegre didn't expect It to appear in the video lol
This is a great style of map, personally at least its great fun. You blow me out of the water in terms of global knowledge and overall scope but once you start zooming in I usually pinpoint on the final point straight away using my weird min-max-esque brain and its disproportionate spacial reasoning skills. Love it!
I really didn't expect to see my city in here... Go Porto Alegre!
Tá cheio de gaúcho por aqui
If you get lost you want to be with this guy, give him 5 minutes and he knows the coordiinates of your location.
as soon as you got to the bridge I instantly recognized it but wasn't sure why, then you said Norway and I remember it from my few hundred hours playing Euro truck simulator 2 in the Scandinavia DLC
3:49 I CAN'T BELIEVE MY CITY IS IN THIS 😭🇧🇷 cmooon Porto Alegre
Yeah, me too XD
Na hora que olhei sabia que era o brasil kkkkkk pqp
Ahí 🤕
That one was easy
Apareceu minha cidade, mas não só isso, apareceu especificamente onde eu fui assaltado 🤣
Wow, I never thought I would see my hometown (Porto Alegre) in a Geowizard video. And he got it so fast
all you folks in here commenting this should get together and make a video!
12:00
GW: "It's annoying me that we can't see those little slip roads"
Slip roads literally there: Am I a joke to you?
Tom, did you know you can put your geolocation skills to make a difference in the world and help journalists and analysts figure out war crimes and crimes against humanity? Have you ever heard of OSINT? Open source intelligence? People like Bellingcat and Amnesty International's Citizen Evidence Lab? It's not only a good thing but also kinda fun and challenging.
Just in case it helps, in most eastern european languages, some variation of "bileta" just means "tickets"
in the western european ones, too
Yes, in Italian it is Biglietti
Gdansk, first time watching one of your videos where I had been to and knew where it was. Westerplatte is where WW2 allegedly started, some good history there and a city well worth a visit.
That bridge outside Bergen is right next to my house, one of my friends live underneath it. That was pretty cool. Love ur vids btw. Looking foreward to more geodetective videos in the future.
Perfect score, nice and easy! This format might actually go well with the timer, say 2 minutes per round.
It was pretty frustating on a few occasions when Tom wasn't utilizing the compass, I have to say.
PS. That Norway round was stunning!
So he gets a perfect score more a less every time but can’t see a damn slip road but me and my stoned self noticed it before he Evan said he couldn’t see it 😂😂
I instantly recognized porto alegre and have only been there twice, those train tracks are too memorable. the norway and albania rounds I expended a lot of time to get 5k tho, norway I found by luck while looking the rivers close to the e16 and albania I knew was albania because of the map next to the signs and later realized that I could see the sea and got it. very enjoyable 25k to get
Since I've started watching you about 2 years ago I've wanted to see a round in my city and see how you would do, now I got it! Porto Alegre resident here mate, love your vídeos and your content, keep this up!
I can’t have been the only person yelling at my screen and pointing at Durrës lol
There was like 1000 bridges in that Norway one man is unreal
Though not in direct vicinity to Bergen.
Main clue is the name of the road...
It wasn't that difficult to find once you know it runs East to West and it's on the E16, and close to Bergen as well.
And it says Åsane on the car
You're so right!
7:44 philosophers be like
I learn a lot from ur vids keep it up also FYI I prefer the normal standard geo vids were u literally just try and get high scores from anywhere round the world rather than like ten second per round challenges n stuff
I you like this kind of maps, you can try the "No Moving - 100% Guessable!" map 😉
(Yes, I'm advertising my own map... 😇 but it's good, continuously updated with new locations, and really 100% guessable)
"last time there were no signs, it was just a bridge" really got me for some reason
the albanian guess really screwed with me. I immediately found "Golem plazh" and assumed we had to be fairly close to it because Golem was such a small place. Completely ignored Durres and thought it was on the sign because it was the closest big city. So much confusion, and I thought I really had it. Even found a round about that kinda fit. xD
Finally a good map! I hate I saw the sign, because it's 90% totally unknown place in the middle of nowhere with no pointers. But this one is definitely doable!
Grew up a 3 minute drive from that bridge in Norway! Happy you got it! Keep up the good content buddy!
Can someone explain where granis went
Yea, he unlisted all his videos, is there a reupload? Never seen a single video of his, but everyone keeps mentioning him
@@xRaddicKx he was a freak of nature. I remember he did a video where he wasn't allowed to move and got 50 correct countries in a row
Why he left yt?
Nobody really knows, maybe taking a break from all the attention he got recently and apparently he's done that before too. According to the subreddit at least: www.reddit.com/r/geoguessr/comments/hnkhbn/what_happened_to_granis/
@@SK-io2no You copied the top comment from the reddit link I posted. Shame on you
"Apparently we're in Durres judging by the vibe of this sign"
😐
Not bad for someone who has only been doing this for a month? I got perfect 25k, 37m total distance in about 48 minutes without moving (only pan & zoom)
I got stuck in Portugal for too long on #2 before figuring out it was Brazil, also had to take a moment during #5 to answer a phone call
Overall I'm pretty happy with the result :)
Fiquei muito empolgado com a aparição de Porto Alegre. Espero que um dia Gramado ou Pomerode apareçam, talvez ele fique confuso

Ok the Albanian one was crazy for me, because I have seen a photo from that very place ages ago, a photo of a Czechoslovak class 770 locomotive crossing that very street with a freight train (www.lokomotivy.net/zobraz2.php?rada=r_zal&loko=691044000&cislo= heres the photo im talking about) and I was like "No way it dropped him next to that photo!" :DD so for once I knew where you were before you :D which is pretty cool
DUDE.... THANK YOU FOR ALL THESE VIDEOS. It inspires me to travel more and not be a video game playing hermit as much!!
1 like = 1 prayer that Tom hasn’t drowned in a fjord yet
I love your videos alot, all respect to you from middle east
Info for you next games: in the second map you had a Renault car...it was a Renault Sandero that you might know as a Dacia Sandero in Europe .... They sell it as a renault in South America and as a Lada in Russia and Asia ...
The first language is Catalan, in case you’re wondering.
Looks a lot like portuguese
Tom, youre doing it again. Not looking at what's in front of you. As soon as you zoomed into Gdansk, I saw the Westerplatte word on the map, but you rushed and went for the wrong piece of land. Tsk tsk tsk. Calm down!
6:10
Nice to see my home town pop up here
I'm from Poland as well, it's fun to see Tom pronounce the names of the cities and other polish words.
@@comprexeu Especially Szczecin lol
sezyn
Osterøybrua is officially the only one I've ever gotten without move, camera move or zoom. Mostly due to the fact that, while I've never been on that bridge, I drive under it several times a year. Nevertheless, I'm very excited to realise that I can recognize at least one place on this planet.
his facial expression at 0:44 lmao, I love this channel
Dude, you're an animal, that's all! Can't believe you got Albania that quickly!!!
Hearing him struggling to read polish word is beatiful. I mean, polish is hard. I wouldn't do it better if I weren't polish. Just, ya know. "Ruchu" read as "rutsu" insead of "ruhu". WesterPLATE instead of "platte" (like in "latte") etc.
"I can't see those slip roads going onto it," he says, as he looks at map view of a bridge with multiple slips roads leading to it.
Tom: Geographical features
Also Tom: Bridges
Tom: I can see the slip roads.
Also Tom: I thought they were further.
PS, since when was Durres on a lake?
6:10 near Westerplatte where Germany attacks Poland and our post office and WWII began.
i just found your channel a few days ago and love it!
You know this bridge in Bergen is actually very recognisable for us locals - I even recognised it in the Thumbnail 😂 On the other side is Osterøy which is actually and inland island thats laying in the fjord. The largest one in northern europe.
Love this channel. The vids with Greg are hilarious and fancy an attempt at wales in a straight line! Go smash Norway!
15:10 that wharf to the south of the city must be very stressed.
First time doing a challenge with you, and I got a perfect score!
9:56 everytime I go to my cabin I drive under that bridge
the pronunciation at 6:18 tho
you got Gdynia and Warsaw right but
Łódź is pronounced like "woodj"
The Polish version of Warsaw is Warszawa, which is pronounced like "var-SHA-va"
Szczecin is pronounced like "SHTE-tsin"
Made it to 25.000 ! But the only round I beat you timewise was the Bergen one I think, not too difficult in my home country :)
In the Gdansk one your first guess didn't work out because the river was to the west and not south, right? Wondering why you didn't use the compass.
Great video!
I recognized Norway from the thumbnail and thought "ooh, that green license plate is going to throw him off I bet!" and then the car goes and has a bloody .no address on it :p
CIA called, they're cutting their surveillance budget and getting this guy and his Google Maps on board..
Really weird when the game puts you in a spot you've been to before... I've been to that exact spot in Gdansk a couple of years back, got immense déjà-vu..!
Man, do a video guessing the location of MrBeast's Island 🏝️
My dad lives in Andorra and I’ve literally been in that area to me that is just bloody wild. Could have been anywhere in the world!
Im actually so pround that I immediately recognized the first one
I was playing this game earlier and I saw a guy in Croatia on the side of a country road peeing
He got so unlucky the street car was on that random country road just as he peed
I messed up in Poland, but aside from that it was a perfect score. Fun map
