Avoid yellow signs with red text. 90% of the time they are extremely small neighbourhoods with like 10-15 people in them. And they’re not on the map. Would love to see another Sweden video. It’s tricky and fun!
Blue signs is basically hopless as well of you dont know the name of the towns. Basicallt need to be a green sign to have any hope of finding it om a country size map
Sweden is rather tough, even for me that have lived there for almost 50 years. It is the 4th or 5th largest country in the EU I think (area, not population), which means that you are very likely to find yourself on a very small road where no-one (and his neighbor) lives, and you will often have to click for minutes sometimes to reach a reasonably sized town. So I rarely manage to get 25 000 even with unlimited time...
Sweden is the third biggest by size in the EU, after France and Spain, larger than e.g. Germany. But I agree just watching this video was really hard to guess where we were as a Swede.
10:55 It's even easier when you realize that the entire coast north of Gothenburg consists of islands and rocks with very little beach. Slightly less rocky south until you get to Varberg. then theres barely any islands with long beaches. South of Halmstad, for example, there is a beach that stretches all the way down to Båstad. It's almost 20km long. So, if you're on the west coast and see no islands, you're south of Varberg ;)
16:54 Don't feel bad about not finding Lenhovda (I'm a swed and never heard it before). Orrefors is is a diffrent matter it is the epicenter of swedish glassblowing! (both Orrefors and Nybro is visible in top right of your map and are much closer(7, 8 / 46 km))
Ive allways been thinking about how people act when they see videos like this and see their homes. Well, i lived just 100 meters from where he got placed in Nybro, just by ridhuset. Pretty fun to see my home area here!
15:50 If a place has "hult" in its name, it's most likely located south of those two big lakes that are next to each other. Also, you can ignore white road signs, they show the location of points of interest (businesses, quarries and whatnot).
The same goes for places ending in "ryd", "arp" and, for the most part, "torp". Places ending in "träsk" or "tjärn" on the other hand are most likely in the northern half of Sweden.
Well, you got tips about Norway so I guess it's ok with some Finland tips, mainly the language. Finland has two official languages, Finnish and Swedish. However, in most parts of the country official signs are only in Finnish. If they are only in Swedish, you are probably on the Åland Islands. If it's both Swedish and Finnish, you're most likely along the coast somewhere between Kotka and Oulu (or Kokkola but Oulu is easier to find on the map).
I find the appearance of my hometown, (Örnsköldsvik), quite interesting, since it is one of the smaller urban areas located in the kingdom of Sweden. (Edited due to severe grammatical flaws)
I just played the map, but unfortunately for me, the third place was for some reason "no moving" so I just had to guess somewhere on the west coast and obviously wasn't close
Hey guys! Thanks for watching the video. I hope you enjoyed! Make sure to check out my Twitch channel as well: twitch.tv/chicagogeographer

Thanks for the tip! I'll probably do another Sweden challenge sometime.

ONly got 22,547 myself, partly because the one on the "west coast" Geoguessr didn't let me move, so I lost ~1500 points on that.

Yeah Sweden can be very tricky on Geoguessr!

For a swede usually the style/flavour of town names is a clue. As soon as there is a -hult, it's Småland or Halland, that kind of thing.

No idea why i was recomended this 5 years later, but yeah, i certainly did.
Born in Halmstad here! Real cool how you just put i right smack down in haverdal befour you found the sign! Well done!

In Sweden the south is flat, and the north is hilly.
Yes generally speaking but there are exeptions
Same for Norway and Finland.. well in Norway they're more like mountains

I really enjoy to watch your videos and play along :-)
Thanks for playing and watching!
Got a bit surprised as you went into Haverdal, I grew up very close to that area but didnt really recorgnize it until later on. However nicely done!
First place in the video comes up: Arboga, 120
Hey, that's where I filled up on diesel 2 hours ago!
Also he missed the "Max 9 Minutes, Köping" sign xD

I acknowledge your severe lack of judgement and I approve your attempt to reconstruct your legacy as a grammatic mastermind.
I just played the map, but unfortunately for me, the third place was for some reason "no moving" so I just had to guess somewhere on the west coast and obviously wasn't close
please do more. I live in sweden and I didn´t know half of them
Damn that Albin Stahl guy at the start was so close to 25,000. He must be very handsome and talented
If it is called Slättevalla instead of Slättvallen you are definitely in Västergötland ;)
