Incredible effort! I appreciate the fact that you mostly avoided discussing camera and car metas and focused on what you can actually see in these countries. I learned a lot of little things I hadn't considered before.
Madagascar was my first gold medal because I had memorized almost every piece of street view, including the cows, avenue of the baobabs, a handful of boats, and the invidividual trekkers in cities such as Morondava. It was a nice flex in multiplayer, but the only location I ever used to see back then was the capital, Antananarivo, and it was always directly outside the Queen's Palace
Thank you for this! I saw a comment on another of your videos that helped me a lot: For Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (north to south ordered): the kilometer markers are 90 degrees to the road (perpendicular) Estonia, 0 degrees to the road (facing the road) Latvia, and 45 degrees to the road (almost like a "V" shape) Lithuania. Thus: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are 90, 0, and 45 degrees respectively. I have literally got it right using only this rule more than once now! 😂
Finland is changing those yellow closing lines on the middle to white, but the footage from Finland is so old that it will still be a valid clue for a long time. The best clues are street signs ending "tie" (road) and "katu" (street) which are the most common words in the end.
Haven't watched yet, but it's queued for later tonight. I'm holding you responsible if I don't know all countries by the end! :D Congrats on the 1k btw.
Well I copied timestamps from the other guy but added the features to look for in each country. 0:33-Africa: Yellow outside lines and driving on the left in the south, in the centre a lot of red dirt and driving on the right 0:38 Botswana - driving left. Yellow and Black striped thinner poles (for e.g. yield signs) 0:51 Eswatini - driving left. long dry grass 1:01 Ghana - Yellow panelling on Taxis, yellow number plates 1:12 Kenya - driving left. Safaricom stores, red dirt, snorkel on Google car 1:25 Lesotho - driving left. hardly trees around, sedimentary style rock formations 1:38 Madagascar - tricky, lots of different landscapes. French colony -> French language and other indications. Trekkers usually have unique telltales 2:02 Nigeria - greenish tint on number plates, ladder-style power poles (similar to Brazil) 2:18 Senegal - French colony, so long 'French' white dashes on both sides of the road, French bollards, blue number plates 2:34 South Africa - driving left. lots of thin stone fences/walls/gates, green signage and road numbering starting with R and N, yellow outside lines 2:49 Tunisia - French colony, more deserty, black number plates with maybe right strip on the side 3:05 Uganda - driving left. very red dirt, most roads aren't paved. number plates white (front) and yellow (back) 3:17-Asia: 3:19 Bangladesh - Bengali language resembles sanskript with a line across the top. a lot of green tuc tucs. white number plates 3:27 Bhutan - inredibly mountainous, often has plots on the side of the road, long white flags, distinctive wooden architecture. red number plates 3:38 Cambodia - 3:55 Christmas Island 4:02 India 4:28 Indonesia 4:41 Israel 4:48 Japan 4:55 Jordan 5:03 Kyrgyzstan 5:11 Laos ... To be continued. I'll try to keep remembering these first. Don't worry, I'll come back.
Very nice vid and awesome effort for putting it all together! A perfect video for many beginners who are looking for quick tips to ID specific countries on the game. Keep up the great content 😁
incredible video! one thing to add though, i’ve lived in austria my whole life (25 years) and have not once seen a license plate with red writing. there are e-cars with green writing on the plates though. only thing i can imagine that red hue you talk about come from could be from the state symbols that are printed on the plate, a bunch of them have red in them, only vienna’s is majorly red though. idk if they would be big enough to leave a red hue though
A slight correction for Ukraine: both Russian, Belarusian and Kyrgyz languages have the letter Ы (yep, that’s a single letter), which latter part may confuse people. In Ukrainian I will never follow Ь, but in Russian it’s only found in Ы. Belarusian will have both I and Ы.
I'm making flashcards with every single meta point for every single country geoguessr has, then I'm just gonna keep using them until it's in my brain 😁😁
Kia ora e hoa! Awesome video for a beginner and just to learn a bit about the world, thanks! Going to have to watch it 5 more times to absorb half of the info haha
Great video! I wonder if you could slightly decrease the size of your camera footage though, because I would rather see more of what's behind you. Half the size would be plenty big enough
Super funny prank video. Using quick cuts in editing so that as soon as you mention a sign, it cuts as fast as it can away from that image so that you have to go backwards to look at what he was talking about. Either that, or he doesn't know that peoples eyes aren't already looking at the thing that he is about to point out, and that a fraction of a second isn't enough time to locate and analyze the thing he's talking about
The characters of Austrian plates are not red, its a red frame that goes around the plate. Additionally lots of the province coat of arms which comes after the city code have red in it.
Is Eswatini what was formerly known as Swaziland? Or am I way off?? Also I had no idea eswatini is a recognised country (since 1968) on political maps! I thought the only separate enclave in SA was Lesotho.... Which funnily enough, only gained independence AFTER Eswatini in 1966!! Idk I thought that was a big revelation for me so thanks for your content!!
@trulybuzzy I've genuinely learnt something today, I am really surprised that Eswatini was granted nationality before Lesotho! Even if only by 2 years. I like to see myself as au fait with the "newest countries" and antithetically, feel well versed in my mapping and general charted depictions of ancient empires. But I realise now, I have been sorely missing knowledge of the interluding epochs!!!

Dude thank you for this !!!!!
You’re so welcome!!
🐐you're the goat
You’re a legend
Holy fucking bookmark Batman, thank you very muc.
My own observations from real life travels:
- If all cars around you are Mercedez, you are in Albania
- If all cars around are pickup trucks, you are in Thailand
- If no cars around you, your in Northern Scandinavia
nice 👍👍
I’ve been to Albania and that first one is so truw
second tip applies to USA too lol. maybe "gratuitously large pickup trucks" would be more accurate in that case.
Asia:
Bangladesh - dashes on top of letters, green tuk tuks
Bhutan - Mountainous, long white flags, white stone blocks, wooden houses
Cambodia - Very red dirt, boxy language, RHS drive
Christmas island - Australian
India - Yellow plates
Indonesia - Many flags, 3 sections of text on plates
Israel - Hebrew
Japan - Black and yellow vertical stripes on poles
Jordan - Desserty, white plates, arabic, white long plates
Kryg - Red strip on plates
Laos - Good luck
Malaysia - 2 sections of text on plates, double white middle plates, black stickers on poles
Mongolia - Baron, China-esc, bowling pin bollards
Palestine - Israel 2
Philippines - Green tint on plate, RHS drive, double yellow middle, segmented concrete roads
Russia - BLACK POLE BOTTOMS, many many bollards on an intersection
Singapore- Green street signs, clean
South korea - Diagonal yellow and black stripes mid way on pole, CIRCLES IN LANGUAGE
Sri Lanka - Text looks like fruit
Taiwan - Diagonal yellow and black stripes to bottom of pole, double yellow middle lines
Thailand - Square shape poles with holes
UAE - Desert, rich, arabic
Vietnam - Latin
I really appreciate this! Thx!
Vehicles with yellow plates in India is those are rented or commercial. White plates is the common number plate in india
You have earned my respect.
For Laos it's Cambodia with yellow plates (driving on the right, same alphabet than cambodia/thailand)
Incredible effort! I appreciate the fact that you mostly avoided discussing camera and car metas and focused on what you can actually see in these countries. I learned a lot of little things I hadn't considered before.
Thanks! I try to stay away from car/cam gen as much as possible
Madagascar was my first gold medal because I had memorized almost every piece of street view, including the cows, avenue of the baobabs, a handful of boats, and the invidividual trekkers in cities such as Morondava. It was a nice flex in multiplayer, but the only location I ever used to see back then was the capital, Antananarivo, and it was always directly outside the Queen's Palace
haha nice work!
but WHY
this clip is ridiculously good and condensed, literally geoguessr teaching speedrun in 20 mins :))
Oh it seems you did watch this video! Hahaha
probably the best beginner geo vid out there! definitely saving this to watch every once in a while as refresher.
🙏🙏
Thank you for this! I saw a comment on another of your videos that helped me a lot: For Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (north to south ordered): the kilometer markers are
90 degrees to the road (perpendicular) Estonia, 0 degrees to the road (facing the road) Latvia, and 45 degrees to the road (almost like a "V" shape) Lithuania.
Thus: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are 90, 0, and 45 degrees respectively.
I have literally got it right using only this rule more than once now! 😂
Correct 👍👍👍
Finland is changing those yellow closing lines on the middle to white, but the footage from Finland is so old that it will still be a valid clue for a long time. The best clues are street signs ending "tie" (road) and "katu" (street) which are the most common words in the end.
Good to know!
I watched all of this and immediately went on to get a 10 on a country streak with no moving, this is great stuff!
Hell yeah!!👍👍👍
Lol i watched it too but too much info for my brain to store
Haven't watched yet, but it's queued for later tonight. I'm holding you responsible if I don't know all countries by the end! :D Congrats on the 1k btw.
You definitely will 👍 thanks!
ive watched this video and different parts of it a rediculous amount of times but it's help me far too much, thank you very much for this video
Glad to hear it! Thanks 👍

My favourite video. I knew 90% of these but they are a great reminder. Your content is class, keep up the great work
much appreciated 🙏
Now this is great content. Good stuff buzz 🙂
Thanks dusk 🙏
Very nice vid and awesome effort for putting it all together! A perfect video for many beginners who are looking for quick tips to ID specific countries on the game. Keep up the great content 😁
Thanks Harrier!
Also for Albania, if you look at the sky, if there is a line in the sky, it's either Albania or Montenegro
Haha yup!
incredible video! one thing to add though, i’ve lived in austria my whole life (25 years) and have not once seen a license plate with red writing. there are e-cars with green writing on the plates though. only thing i can imagine that red hue you talk about come from could be from the state symbols that are printed on the plate, a bunch of them have red in them, only vienna’s is majorly red though. idk if they would be big enough to leave a red hue though
oh right! I think it comes from a red border around the plate? hard to tell what it's from when it's blurred 😅
A slight correction for Ukraine: both Russian, Belarusian and Kyrgyz languages have the letter Ы (yep, that’s a single letter), which latter part may confuse people. In Ukrainian I will never follow Ь, but in Russian it’s only found in Ы. Belarusian will have both I and Ы.
And yeah, good luck finding signage in Belarusian in Belarus…
thanks!

Southern African countries have yellow shoulder lines
Botswana - yellow and black posts, LHS drive

Thank you so much I just started geoguessr yesterday so this is very helpful for me
THIS video is exactly what I needed!!! Thankyou for the help 🙌
Np!!
Thank you so much for this easy tutorial, really appreciated!
no worries!
I'm making flashcards with every single meta point for every single country geoguessr has, then I'm just gonna keep using them until it's in my brain 😁😁
great plan. then once they're locked in just keep adding more and more until you're unstoppable
@@trulybuzzy seriously! Thanks for the video it's been very useful
Just a 20 min video, but man, making notes took an hour!
This will really help a lot, thanks!
No problem!

Glad you enjoyed it :--)
Good stuff a always buzzy. Thanks man I got some homework to do
thank you!
That was wonderful ❤ thank you for all your work and help on this
no worries 🤙
searched up a title relevant to this one in hopes of getting a little help and this was a huge help. great video
Glad you found it useful :)
I played yesterday and there's more countries in the game it seems - I got Qatar, Rwanda, China, and Bermuda, they all never used to be included!
Yep might need to do a lil update vid
only video that actually helped me guess taiwan with the yellow and black poles thanks :)
Amazing work, learnt a lot of new stuff. Looking forward to more tips and metas.
Glad it helped!
In Poland we also have bad road quality.
Great video! I wonder if you could slightly decrease the size of your camera footage though, because I would rather see more of what's behind you. Half the size would be plenty big enough
too late to change it now I'm afraid! sorry about that
Incredible video bro really appreciate all the effort you put into this
Cheers mate!
Good vid fork
As a Pole living in Greece, I can confirm we are very tall and made of wood
😭😭
Good to know Poland has holy Poles. Good compliment to it's citizens.
bless 🙏
watch this video 2 times a day for 1 week and youll be pro in 6 months😂😅 great video and very good tips no one mentioned before, thanks!
Haha true that! Thanks :)
This helped a LOT with the absolute hell that is South America so thanks.
No worries 🤙
Really appreciate all the effort you put in
Thank you!
1:09 here you can see the top of the car but sometimes also Nigeria or Kenya as seen in the next clip
Nice pfp homie
Quality meta, no cheese, love your work dude!
Cheers brother man
I learnt more about world Geography from this one video than I ever did in High School lol. Maybe it's because I'm choosing to learn it hehe.
hell yeah mr toast
Great, helpful video. Thanks!
No problem!
Incredible and really helpful as well
Glad u enjoyed!
Quality content as always. Keep it up!
Thank you 👍👍

I recommend watching this video twice to have all the tips memorized well.
100% agree, maybe watch it 3 times :--)

I’ll watch it tomorrow, I’ll see if I get any better! I am horrible at the game.
hope it helps. I have a tips and tricks series too if you're interested
zoro taking notes
The characters of Austrian plates are not red, its a red frame that goes around the plate. Additionally lots of the province coat of arms which comes after the city code have red in it.

What about Hong Kong? It's covered by google but you didn't mention it in the video, do you have any tips?
Oops knew there'd be one 😹 Hong Kong have unique looking taxis that are green. You see some black plates, lots of skyscrapers
Because of black plates, I got it confused with Singapore the first time, I didn't check where was the sun though. Thanks for the tips!
I really need this to find my pencil.
you're so underrated.

Nah but dont people use the little sticker on the google car for Ghana that is always there if the sticker is in front part its Ghana if its the back side its Reunion island
I tried to stay away from car meta's as much as possible in this video. personally prefer clues that relate to the country itself
@@trulybuzzy ahh ok but i would also say like those are like basically a 100% for that country so that would help new players a lot
Great Content but for the love of god fix your audio quality dude. That white noise is unbearable

Thank you for this.
Just one thing, it's Sanskrit, not Sanscript 🤣 made that mistake most if my life too, don't worry haha
I've learnt this since I made this video DW hahaha

Very useful guide, just as useful to check if we missed any kinds of clues sometimes
