05:50 If the white border around the green road sign is solid you are on the road, if it's dashed it's leading to said road. (The same with the white signs with black borders)
when looking at road signs in norway, prob sweden also, you need to look at if the line around is full or dotted ig. if full youre on the road, and if not, then you are driving towards it.
The two languages on some of the signs are Norwegian and Sami. The Sami is a minority group living in the far north of Norway. They used to be known as Finns or Lapps, thereby the name Finnmark.
Half of all Sami people actually live in Oslo, and they do live at least as far south as Trøndelag (while still acting like traditional Sami people, which the ones in Oslo doesn't). However, their language on road signs is a good sign you're far north.
Well played, but that last round in Vadsø was a little painful because the town name was visible from the first seconds :D Finnmark is the northernmost region (fylke) of Norway. Basically the whole area which is north from Finland. 5:20 that dashed border line means that you're not on that exact road but heading to it. A solid line would mean that it is that exact road. The same system is at least in all Nordic countries and some other European countries too.
yea and you saw the sign for vadsø videregående skole aka Vadsø high school from the start aswell. but I understand that its hard when you don't know the language. but a tip for later if you see videregående skole on a sign again :)
This is great advice but you have to make sure you're in Norway as Sweden also use the word Finnmark but to refer to heavily forested towns in Dalarna in south/central Sweden
Another tip, the white on green road number signs are national roads and have unique numbers. The black on white signs are county roads, and are a bit more messy. Depending on the age of the street view images, they may have numbers which are duplicated in several other counties. This was changed in 2019, and most if not all county roads now have unique numbers that could go up to four digits.
Just so you know Fennoscandia is Norway,Sweden and Finland Scandinavia is Norway,Sweden and Denmark (there all monarchies.) The Nordics are Iceland,Norway,Sweden,Denamrk and finland. (Färö islands and Åland) Hope it helps
Last one was kinda funny considering the name Finnmark comes from the old Norwegian name for the Sami people and the 2nd language on the signs are also Sami, the Sami are the indigenous people of northern Scandinavia. So there was actually no relation to Finland, but luckily it ended up helping you out anyways since the location was right next to the border with Finland anyways.
There is actually a kind of relation to Finland: Sámi people were called "Finns" in Scandinavia at least partly because the Sámi languages are Finno-Ugric, the same reason Tornedalians were also called "Finns" (speaking another Finno-Ugric language, Meankäli). Not an especially good reason obviously, but still. :)
As a Swede who has been to Norway quite a bit I struggled with this map aswell because of how diverse Norway is A lot of the cities look so similar Same can be said for here in Sweden Greetings from Sweden
fun fact, if you're ever able to see the license plates on the cars, the first letter on it (unless it's a custom one, or one that starts with E, since E just means that it's electric) indicates which part of the country it was registered in. A is eastern Norway, and Z is northern Norway. (S is around Bergen iirc, but there is someone in northern Norway selling ZZ signs that people in that area often buy since apparently they don't want signs saying SV on it, since that is a political party.)
I have usually been very unlucky when doing Geo Guessr in Norway. Though I did once get a location close to where I live, and another time I got a location right next to the football stadium of my favorite team.
i might be good at geoguesser but then again i did use google maps i dont have geoguesser, but i was looking for litldalen, and i found a town nearby and i placed my guy down EXACTLY where you started there
On the forst one i wa slike that could be the road twoards harstad (i drive there often) then i saw the speed camera thingy and i knew it, i have driven here many times as i live not to far away😂😅
if you have a broken line around the road the number means that, that this road leads to the road with nnumber (E 39) Its not the number or name of this road.
05:50 If the white border around the green road sign is solid you are on the road, if it's dashed it's leading to said road. (The same with the white signs with black borders)
As a Norwegian who occasionally plays Geoguessr in Norway, I have to admit this was a good seed. You were lucky. Great content either way!
The one in Finnmark was funny, you started out right next to a school, where you basically got an exact position without moving from the place
The city of Finnmark 😂😂
The first E39 sign had a dashed line framing around the sign, meaning the road leads to E39
This is the same idea also in Finland, dashed border around road number = the road you're on is leading to that road.
when looking at road signs in norway, prob sweden also, you need to look at if the line around is full or dotted ig. if full youre on the road, and if not, then you are driving towards it.
This was very funny, because for most Norwegians the last one would be the easiest

used to? XD we still call them lapps and finnluggs

Hi from Vadsø :D We build new roads just to mess with geoguessers ;)
Hahaha I knew it!
Impressive guess at 12:57. Norway is never an easy location

Very useful information, thank you!!

Ngl for me it's pretty hard to get 25k in countries with languages that I don't know
Just so you know
Fennoscandia is Norway,Sweden and Finland
Scandinavia is Norway,Sweden and Denmark (there all monarchies.)
The Nordics are Iceland,Norway,Sweden,Denamrk and finland. (Färö islands and Åland)
Hope it helps
Nordics also includes greenland
@@m4rt_ Greenland is a part of Denmark
@@johnsus-r7mand so are the Faroes, and Åland is Finnish, so I don’t see your point
@@ItzLucky90 Denmark includes Greenland, so you dont need to say Greenland if you say Denmark
Lovely stuff Icy

"indigenous"
denmark also nordic and scandinavian 0:27 very beautiful country good job icy!
As a Swede who has been to Norway quite a bit I struggled with this map aswell because of how diverse Norway is
A lot of the cities look so similar
Same can be said for here in Sweden
Greetings from Sweden
Kinda funny how I immediately recognized the first road as Rv83 a little south of Harstad since we've often travelled to Harstad

I liv in like a Really small place and you vas so close 😂
I have usually been very unlucky when doing Geo Guessr in Norway.

i might be good at geoguesser but then again i did use google maps i dont have geoguesser, but i was looking for litldalen, and i found a town nearby and i placed my guy down EXACTLY where you started there
Getting back into this got an Andorra perfect score with alot of locations that were placed in the wrong position
Well done, the last City is where I grew up in
I knew the 4th round in 0,3seconds, have passed there a lot of times :P
On the forst one i wa slike that could be the road twoards harstad (i drive there often) then i saw the speed camera thingy and i knew it, i have driven here many times as i live not to far away😂😅
It is so surreal seeing the road I drive 10 times per week on a random youtube video 😅
"City" lol
Good job! Norway has some featureless stretches and outdated parts.
The green numbered is e39 and the grey ones are national roads or (riksvei)
I litterally live right next to kilbotn
Scadinavia is Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
The nordic countries are those three, but including Finland and Iceland.
Sweden is the largest of all five.
Nice!
'nota big road.. E39'😆 'E-roads'are the biggest /most important in Norway
if you have a broken line around the road the number means that, that this road leads to the road with nnumber (E 39) Its not the number or name of this road.
had to giggle my niece lives in Fiskåbygd XD
Damn, I actually recognized the first picture
Number 4 is in my area 😃 Remember Denmark is also a scandinavian country
11:06 perfect pronounciation of fiskavegen.
not really
Ur really underated man
that last one seemed easiest. As it had a big name with the town name and the function of the building (school) on it
Tengs Nevnt less goo, hjemm by Tengs i navnet baby
Finnmark is one of fifteen countys in Norway
Geo guesser and doesn’t know that Denmark is a part of the north 🥱
Sweden is the largest, but Norway is the longest. Funncact, Norway goes further North, south, west and east of Finland.
yo long time no see i fell behind sadly my last perfect is still austria
nr 2 is Sunndalsora .
denmark is a pretty easy map to get 25k on. I have wr on the official map
As a Norwegian. Ill say iceland is more beautiful than norway
haha the easiest round aswell, any norwegian could 5k that in under 30 seconds
facts denmark is not a scandinavian country. 6 HOURS 6 HOURS
