As someone who is pretty new to the game, sun position is extremely important to me. When there's no blatant metas like Ghana or Mongolia, or it's obviously not Europe, the very first thing I'm checking is: -Road lines -Driving Side -Hemisphere -Vegetation That will narrow down a lot of countries very quickly. Then comes things like car meta, license plates, and road signs/bollards
I was the same way and still am a lot, but man do i get annoyed when the sun lies. Since the sun moves between the tropics on the globe, it can actually appear to be south even in australia. Can never 100% trust it unless its dead north/south and low in the sky imo.
@@skanderbeg152 Yea if it's ever questionable I will disregard or assume it's close to the equator. Also the google cam is sometimes unreliable when the sun is high in the sky, just look at the shadows. I see a lot of funky sun stuff around the equator, can't say I have ever seen a south sun in Australia tho
bro when you gave the tip of the italian license plate , the fact that in front is smaller then the one behind, I left my house and checked my car. it is indeed true HAHAHA and I didn't know it
Very useful tips, and you’re very good at explaining all the details 👍 But I hope you don’t mind, as someone from the region I haven’t to correct you on 8:40 that while Cambodia *is* a Southeast Asian country (along with the likes of Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, etc); India is a South Asian country (just like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, etc).
I have actually had a few Nigeria rounds where the follow car does not have the sirens on top, surprisingly. If I remember correctly I think the SUV was a brownish colour.
Can you Make more videos to this level of players just started and have only learned a little more then this. And can you Make a map where you can train the things from the video? 🤘😀
Great video, definitely seen a lot of the stuff you talked about, but it never really stood out as being exclusive to any country or countries. Thanks for making GeoGuesser less intimidating for newer players
license plates is a big one for me. Recently I guessed right on Kyrgyzstan a couple of times because they have the distinct red stripe on the side. They aren't alone in this but there are plenty of other clues that tell you you're not on the Isle of man or Albania
Thank you this really helped me I couldn't tell the difference between the icelandic locations and the norwegian when it came down to the wire but this video helped me
on these tutorial type videos, can you add the name of the country on to the video for each tip? it would be nice to see the name of the country as we listen to your explanation for each tip.
I remember in 2015 when they introduced Google Street view to sri lanka, everyone was freaking out because they could see the inside of their houses. So they had to lower the camera when they came back in 2021
@5:20 dude i just lost a round because I saw the yellow marks didnt get near the ground. I put Korea, but it was Taiwan. On second look I was looking at street sign poles, but maybe worth a note.
I am very convinced the "all the way to the ground" part is a cargo cult thing that somebody started way back and people just blindly repeat it even if it is only true some of the time (and also I imagine the youtubers who mention it can easily tell korea and taiwan apart so they do not actually rely on that stripe detail, despite repeating it) I also do not like that camera generations and antennas and car colours are included here - the video started off being about stuff that always works and it is intended for new players but new players should absolutely not be learning advanced car metas like antennas since that can change on a whim as google updates coverage and all that time spent learning it will be wasted also funny that short italian license plates in the front is a bit advanced but the iceland car antenna is a must know but I imagine this is just a small oversight in editing and it was hard to fit it into separate videos and it juts ended up being in the same video
I literally never learned which country drives on which side until now lol, (as someone who gets an average of 5K-12K on geoguessr haha) thanks for the help💛💛
Ok can someone explain the 09:45 thing about white lines with no yellow being unique to Chile in the Americas? Cos I’m looking at an Argentinian road right now, all white, no yellow.
Fun addition for beginner regionguessing: if you see placenames around you ending in -ow (like Krakow), go in the southern half / southeastish (which is where Krakow is, so that's easy to remember). If the placenames end with -OwO, go northern half / northwestish.
How do I get geoguessr pro without paypal or credit card? I use neither and I cant find any other payment options lik debit billing or a currecy I can buy
16. Don't play geoguessr, play geotastic instead because it's free 😛 I really don't like google car/camera metas because they're about the observer, not the environment, and also they're subject to change, but I see how they can be useful.

in case it's cloudy and you can't see the sun, satellite dishes are a good alternative way to know the hemisphere
The thumbnail with the suit always makes me laugh a little. I just love the idea of Geoguessr being so official that you need a suit
it’s so absurd lol
already used the nigeria follow car to 4.9k in Kato to win a ranked Duel … you the man Oscar
when you start filming do you have to hype yourself up and do multiple takes to sound energetic for the intro or does it come out naturally
he was filming an intro while on stream once and he was pretty energetic from the start, but he did do multiple takes
i just go straight in 💯💯
@@zi8gzag My gf likes foreplay. but i see you mate💯💯

I knew all of these but it was still an amazing content to watch!!

been playing geoguessr for a while and videos like these help not only me but many new players to get better at the game !! keep it up :D
Loving all your videos lately! I just started the game a few weeks ago and your videos have been great!
Oscar is a champ!
Thank you! i started playing last week
Zigzag going crazy with the uploads recently damn
I'm an experienced player, but I always enjoy your tip. 😍
huh
pause
Hol' up!
Uhhhhhh
can you do tips for intermediate players next? love the vids
Watching a zegog vid after coming back from school do be feeling good
2:52 Reunion car has the tape on the back right rack though, so they're still distinguishable from each other
Just started playing this game and I am amazed how much different each place is from one another (I am bad with map and places)
I have actually had a few Nigeria rounds where the follow car does not have the sirens on top, surprisingly. If I remember correctly I think the SUV was a brownish colour.
Can you Make more videos to this level of players just started and have only learned a little more then this. And can you Make a map where you can train the things from the video? 🤘😀
His second channel has a lot of that kind of content. Watch the older videos on Geoguessr Explained for some good play along games with explainations.
Great video, definitely seen a lot of the stuff you talked about, but it never really stood out as being exclusive to any country or countries. Thanks for making GeoGuesser less intimidating for newer players
I am champion division and I'm seeing this just in case

I am new. This game is so addictive and relaxing. Always playing when I want to chill and to travel around the world.
The Chana one REALLY Helped me out

I also do not like that camera generations and antennas and car colours are included here - the video started off being about stuff that always works and it is intended for new players but new players should absolutely not be learning advanced car metas like antennas since that can change on a whim as google updates coverage and all that time spent learning it will be wasted
also funny that short italian license plates in the front is a bit advanced but the iceland car antenna is a must know but I imagine this is just a small oversight in editing and it was hard to fit it into separate videos and it juts ended up being in the same video
learned a lot from you thx a lot zigzag!
"new geoguessr player"
that's not a thing anymore with the paywall😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
luckily there are all sorts of free geoguessr alternatives!
@@Globey_LLC like?
It is. I am new to the game.
tent on the truck was first car meta i noticed aswell, day one or two
16th : how get Geoguessr for free ?
He has a video about that. YK?
If I am not wrong it should be the new update video that is uploaded about a week ago.
You can still play in parties and challenges for free
Its so cheap..
It's 2 dollars. If you can't afford that go get a job
You’re doing Gods work Ziggy
Albania has blue strips on both sides of the license plate. But both front and rear plates are both long.
I am gold (which is pretty starter too) but honestly I didn't know some of these
I just noticed but your logo reminds of a supermarket brand "The big C" did you get inspo from that? 😂 love your vids bro ❤
1:40 US has full yellow bollards. maybe not commonly on roads, but at gas stations & stores
You should play WhereTaken. You are given a picture and you have to work out where in the world it was taken. There is also a US version.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks bro now i’ll finally hit 1500🔥🙏
I literally never learned which country drives on which side until now lol, (as someone who gets an average of 5K-12K on geoguessr haha) thanks for the help💛💛
Thank you for all of the amazing videos :D
Idk about the Taiwan and South Korea one, I check on maps and I found one which you said was South Korean stickers in Taiwan
15:36 in albania too
Thanks for the tips!
side mirrors oscar! hahaha, love these daily uploads btw
THANK YOU ZI8GZAG!!!
Happy to say that I knew all of these, I guess that means I'm not a new player anymore (definitely not advanced either though)
Ghana has the tape on the front right and Réunion has the tape on the back right
Super helpful ty!
I heckin love zigzag
Would be cool if you could link the websites you used in the video description.
As a newer player I would add Bulgaria having dumpsters everywhere, and Germany having an insane bollard budget.
Greece and other Balkan countries also have a plethora of dumpsters too 👍
Half of germany's infrastructure budget goes just to placing bollards
Also French + Yellow plates is often belgium
not 100% in Reunion u have same thing but on right side
can you play SATELLITE CAPITALS OF THE WORLD on geotastic , it is kinda fun and adds a new concept to the game
Sometimes i'm like '' oh nice tips '' and sometimes I'm like '' dont tell them all my personal tiiiiiiiips 😂''
what do you think about the free alternative openguessr
wouldve been a bit easier if youd shown the countries on the screen without me having to search each, since i do only play geoguesser on my phone
0:06 zigzag is holding thaigoat hostage confirmed
This is so helpful
Thank you ^^

"We hate car meta"
Shows a TON of car meta. Like almost all videos.
Zigzag i love you
How do you differentiate the front and back of the car?
in which country is it all completely blurry and you can see the entirety of the light gray car?
How do you tell the front of the car from the back of the car on nmpz?
Newbies🤝🤝zig zag
I've played a bit recently and noticed a small green car following when I'm in Israel
If you can't use Geoguessr, Openguessr is a good alternative.
marvelous video boss
When you're in Poland, just go for the center of a country
Fun addition for beginner regionguessing: if you see placenames around you ending in -ow (like Krakow), go in the southern half / southeastish (which is where Krakow is, so that's easy to remember). If the placenames end with -OwO, go northern half / northwestish.
Hi zigzag can i pls have a link for the map? ii cant find it anywhere and im trying to start geoguessr
Wow there was a lot of car meta in this car, kind of disappointing but I get it
Nice video
Why have I got Nigeria before where the white car wasn't following?
Really useful video. Thank you for teaching me nigeria lol
Came here just to check if I am a new geoguessr player
What is the link for the official coverage?
where can you find the oficial google coverage map?
What’s Belarus got against Google Maps anyway?
0:45 do i have to create that map myself or did anyone online post it somewhere to download?
It’s on safari or chrome so just look it up
yo, based video thanks
How do I get geoguessr pro without paypal or credit card? I use neither and I cant find any other payment options lik debit billing or a currecy I can buy
I'm pretty sure I just clicked credit card and used my debit card
I'm from England!!!
the baby crying -->LMAO
I have three younger siblings and that shot gave me flashbacks
Percentages don't necessarily math.. 😅 but helpful nonetheless.
Why Vietnam is not usually included or appeared in this game? I mean its not underdeveloped or anything but why? I’m a Vietnamese player.
0:59 guyanas*
Btw, thumbnail is only 90% accurate, other 10% it’s Reunion
Nvm Reunion has tape in bottom right and Ghana has tape top right
someone tell me whats official coverage
16. Don't play geoguessr, play geotastic instead because it's free 😛
I really don't like google car/camera metas because they're about the observer, not the environment, and also they're subject to change, but I see how they can be useful.
0:05 😭😭😭
"crap camera"
That's a very diplomatic way to avoid its actual name haha
you have 7.3k views and 680 likes that means almost everyone liked it
12:41 UK is not europe
Brexit means Brexit
Yes it is ya div
You had to leave Kenya and Uganda out, bummy! Jk man good stuff!
