    You did missed a few clues about Poland :)
    1. Almost every local advert (billboard) in Poland have an address and post code on it (for instance; 66-400, 43-990 etc.) and the name of the town/city that is referring to. This is clear indication of the region or even the place you are looking for.
    2. On the same token; almost every billboard will have phone number on it. Phone area codes are quite strict in Poland.
    3. Usually, when you approaching a bridge, somewhere there should be a plaque or a traffic sign with the name of the river you going to cross.
    4. Lot of the streets in Poland have a names based on the direction their are leading to. For instance; ul. Krakowska - will usually lead towards Krakow. It doesn't mean that the place you are looking for is in close proximity of Krakow, it mean that the street is pointing toward it. However you can estimate the location based on which geographical location the street is located.
    Good luck next time.

      Not bad as far as suggestions, but unless you have these data memorized (like phone area code, zip codes) this data do not help. And I would consider looking things up on the phone or another website outside of geoguessr as "cheating". So here's my tips for an American or anyone else trying to do this with geoguessr only -- obviously knowing polish would help:
      (1) Find the city name -- as mentioned above, most adverts will have a city name, with a street say "a hair dresser, with city, street name and numerical address". Fail that, go to city square and find a tourist map that usually has city name. Fail that, at the very edge of the city you will have a green or white sign, with the name of the city crossed w/ a diagonal sign when you are leaving the city limits.
      (2) Most of these cities are quite small and obscure even to a native Polish person. Look for a major road, typically a round-about that has directions to at least 1, usually 2-3 major cities nearby. So for one of these, I had no idea "Bolkow", but I was aware of both Wroclaw (top 5 Polish city) and Legnica also well known, so that will get you to the right region at least.
      (3) On the round abouts or major streets, they will also have a major route or street number, either highway (Autostrada) say A5, or a major route like 234 in a yellow box. Look at the map of Poland and try to find and trace those routes to the city of the appropriate name.
      Try again, I think you will be much more successful. Yeah, this would take time (maybe 5-15 minutes per location), but you can pretty much always get a near-perfect score with some effort.

    I live in Włocławek most of my life! That was Ptasia Street you were "thrown" onto. The city is quite interesting if you're into architecture and history. Sadly it's also one of those cities, where the local government pumps cash into all the wrong directions and the Old Town is really dilapidated. Włocławek used to be home to the widely-known brand of ketchup and beatiful white-and-cobalt ceramics (Fajans Włocławek).

    Trev warzywa means veggies, nothing in common with Warsaw. It's a very popular sign Warzywa i owoce: veggies and fruits and a small kiosk selling them is called warzywniak. Take care :)

    Some locations where really small towns, so it was hard even for me to guess where it is. The bigger ones were no problem to find. The problem is, that most old towns and market squares in polish towns and cities, looks so similar to each other making it harder to guess where is it :D What's make it easier is, that everywhere are banners, advertisements, and street boards with the names of a place, or at least with arms/crests of a county/province, and when you know that, you can easily find it on the map :D
