south maybe it is Russia Finland so that felt great to get that one did you also get it do let me know in the comments and we move on to the third round and this looks getable I don't want to jinx it but you know it looks like Europe so we've got every chance here come on give me some language give me some language or a flag either would be fine okay we got we got Pine here a similar kind of pine a bit different perhaps oh okay okay I wasn't expecting that oh now is that the Slovakian one or the Slovenian one it's the crest from one of those country's Flags I think it's Slovakia isn't it ah we'll see we'll see so not sure I'm going to get much else here and I'm already looking at the bend of the roads to see if I'm going to be able to scour the map for this place cuz I'm not sure I'm going to get much more info I think we're looking at Slovakia Poland it's fairly odd for it to have snow but it makes sense that the Border would be high altitude at the top of a mountain range you know or just high up yeah I don't know if I'm going to find this because Slovakia has a lot of miles of borders it could even be going into Hungary wait a minute which way is North that's North so it's like we've headed into Slovakia this way coming from Hungary Could That Be Right North is there we're going to be helped by this little road here and the shape of the houses and things I think this is getable we've got to try and read this haven't we I don't think any of those words are countries to be honest just because the Slovakian building is North I'm going to search this border the Slovakian Hungarian border and just see if I can find a spot that lines up wish me luck  and that's all the river danbe then for the rest of it so the best one I found was the first one that I zoomed into this is the one that most adds up that would be the building this would be that little road even though it's blocked off but I'm not mad on it the other option is is that that is on the Slovakian side and we're at the North by Poland so I'll have a quick look for something up [Music] here and that's all flat uh yeah that's the best thing I've got to be honest I'm not totally happy with it not happy but it's going to have to do I think this is an opportunity for you guys some of you to really catch up here let's give it a go an area I just looked over what I've got that all wrong in my head I got the

angles of things all wrong I'm blaming the new Compass system I thought it was more like that not happy with myself for that I've got to admit penultimate round this looks interesting we've left Europe and we're into Asia and this script what is that script is is that um La Thailand let's find out we're driving on what are we driving on I think we're driving on the left aren't we you can see that motor bike's got his light on yeah I think this might be La look at this big golden Turtle there's a joke there somewhere but I must refrain from embarrassing myself and yeah the border is a river we've got the Thailand flag doesn't look like there's a massive connection over there there's no bridge and it doesn't look like there's a much of a boat that goes across it's very mountainous let's say that we're on the Thailand side and let's not overthink it because that would make sense and the flag does look very tie it's just similar to the LA one isn't it I think anyway Compass don't fail me again that's North so actually this could be over towards Myanmar or Burma it looks quite mountainous but there's a river quite a quite a meaty River I don't suppose we're going to see which way that's flowing is there any way to tell that no maybe not but if that's North then I do think we're on the west the west side of Thailand that would make sense wouldn't it we could be somewhere like this yeah we could be somewhere like this look although that's the meong so we're not there but you get my point there could be a section of the Border um which faces West but I can't see any others to be fair it's diagonal it's running Northeast so that would be perfect if the if the meong wasn't there but ah look at this we also have this little river and that would be flowing that way wish I could tell which way the river was flowing just just looking for some Clues on the other side can't see much but yeah I think this this is a good little spot the Hang River need little village on the other side the other side being La maybe there maybe there it why not that's the perfect angle I mean we can have a look at the shape of this Road it's very long and straight actually and running Southeast no that's running more East I'll have another little [Music] look nothing better so far so that's where I'm provisionally going just going to have a quick Gander elsewhere just very quickly skim we can see where there's no River and no civilization could be down here so I'll have a quick look down [Music] here and that's the end it's all mountains so yeah that is the best spot I've found in all of Thailand it's not right though that's the only problem but I'm going to go there anyway bugger

got to be a great map to play biggest lake of every country and US state I've never done anything like this so 157 locations so it's not every country in the world because I guess yeah some of them don't have the photop sphere on their biggest lake some countries don't even have a lake the Maldives Springs to mind so they've bolstered it up with us States hopefully we don't get too many US Estates and it's a nice spread but yeah I think this will be a really good challenge a very hard one actually potentially because we might just be on a boat let's make that challenge link no moving of course um and please play along if you haven't already or even if you have already you could easily beat me here that this is going to be more to do with luck than skill I think but hopefully there will be some good chances for detective work let's go we have music listen to that can you hear that might as well check if we're recording while we're at it yes we are yeah that should be quite nice and quiet for you that's hilarious that's actually really tasteful music Well Done geoguesser Right Here we are on our first Lake anyway and it's huge um it's quite Brown that is actually distracting me quite a lot we've got islands and as predicted we're on a boat um this guy is quite angrily filming it or taking photos M if you if your heart's not in it mate don't do it and yes as you often do with these photos spheres they're taken by a person and you get their name Hector Navaro and that can give us a clue fortunately in some ways that can give us a clue to where we are not always though cuz they could travel now the other glaring clue we have here is a flag green yellow and red H I'm a bit Rusty now with my Flags but Bolivia okay let's let's keep a look at the it doesn't really look like Bolivia it's oh no no Bolivia does have jungle I'll get into the map in a sec let's just look at all these Clues because you can see the flag behind this guy's head but he doesn't really look Bolivian there aren't that many black people in Bolivia Colombia yes Ecuador yes and then this dude is much darker than these guys as well so maybe we're not in South America it's going to come down to the flag the flag is going to be very helpful here I think I just hope if I can get the flag okay which way is North that way is North so we've got an island there we've got an island there to the Northwest but really we can't see a lot else that seems to go on into Oblivion over there that's kind of to the east so let's get into the map then because I just want to check Bolivia the biggest lake in Bolivia ah it depends if they are counting lakes that that straddle two countries like would that be the biggest lake for Peru and Bolivia or would they judge it on whichever area of water is predominantly in the one country either way guys I think that these are quite deserty areas and not this kind of jungly stuff that we've got going all around around the lakes here the lake you can tell it's trees I don't think that that's what you have there I think it's quite arid there is jungle in Bolivia but it's uh yeah it's not where the big lakes are right Excuse me while I try and remember the flags here so Venezuela no that's got blue in it Columbia's got blue in it and Ecuador's got blue in it it's none of the others it could be some of these Surinam that's a big lake that is a big lake okay that would make sense because they're you know they have a South American name but I just want to look at Africa because there's so many flags that that could be Ghana it can't be because it's um vertical instead of horizontal which we have senagal see because I haven't done any flag tests in a while I'm getting confused between Sagal which it can't be by the way there's one Lake one big lake in Sagal and it's in the desert Cameroon it could be this one got an island there what other man I need to think about Flags bear with me yeah Ethiopia Ethiopia Lake Tanner looks quite looks quite jungly there that's all kind of jungle isn't it kind of like Tanner let's have Let's Line these islands up this is hard we're judging it as I kind of predicted a lot of the clues are on the boat San San sellan I wonder if there's a town called San that would be good wouldn't it B here ooh nah that's North that's North the reason I'm focusing on Ethiopia is is pretty much purely because of the the facial structure of this guy and the fact that we seem to have this weird language you know this weird it's a very unique you know script can't really see it that well but also the flag obviously does have a star in the in the middle of it doesn't it or something but we can't see that he could be Ethiopian as well just don't know if you How likely are you to get two Latin Americans on holiday in Ethiopia I'm just going to check back in this Surinam one San San Browns it's like Dutch isn't it there's plenty of ISS here but I don't know about the flag of Surinam I think it's a bit different let me let me size sorry I'm taking ages on this this might be quite a difficult video right that's North I don't like the way that all the lands in the background are the position like that that Oblivion over there where's that is it down here doesn't really add up maybe the compass is wrong yeah maybe the compass is wrong okay let's imagine the compass is wrong [Music] so where's Oblivion oblivion's over there that's Oblivion so we'd be like there that's the bigger island of the two and that's the other Island yeah that makes that makes a lot more sense very often the compass is wrong on these photos spheres oh what's that yeah that's a building and right in line if we were to look this way you've got bah da which is quite a Big Town to in Ethiopia not the capital but a bloody Big Town on this lake so I'm pretty confident with this now I'm pretty confident this is right yeah it's that Oblivion up there that and then that that there is that anyway I've spent so much time on this now I'm pretty happy this will be a great one for detective work if this is right yes 4999 brilliant could have done with that extra point we might really need that extra point cheers Hector what don't you

cheer up a bit next time and concentrate more on the the positioning yeah prick right next round now thanks Hector okay what have we got here Hector might have taken the only photo so we we've got to uh got to applaud him for that oh my goodness me I thought we had a satellite like imagery then we don't it's from a drone I think but look how high up that was taken from goodness and what's good about that is we can see the shape of this Lake perfectly it's a big lake it's not like gigantic it's not as big as the last one but it's mighty big it's a reservoir because you can see the dam there but also you can always tell a reservoir because you get these these shapes the layers where the water has been rising and falling so let's get to work at trying to figure out what country this might be it's pretty arid it could be this could be Spain Mexico let's have a look right not sure what that is I'm trying to figure out what side of the road they're driving on but it's so far down ah you know you can see from these Road markings they're driving on the right which which actually hardly narrows it down at all I'd be surprised if it was left if it was left that would mean it's Australia wouldn't it um so Mexico don't know do not know those Road markings could they be they couldn't really be European could they with that yellow in the middle am I right and it was taken by DJ veg which really I like that because it doesn't give anything away got some boats there lots of vehicles mainly Camper vans a few boats um but yeah I think I'm ready to have a little search on the map now to be honest it's not going to be America is it I mean oh but it's every US state I'm sorry I'm sure you forgive me but I I forgot I forgot that it's every US state this could well be a us US state it is a one in three chance that we'll get a US state we've also got some pretty good some pretty impressive like infrastructure here as well right so I think we yeah I think we're looking at like Nevada New Mexico Arizona wow this could this could take a little while like me we have here I'll get it but it'll take a bit of searching I think the one thing we've got going for us the main thing is the dam on the south so that's North so it's kind of like a a y shape or a v a V shape with the dam at the bottom so let's bear that in mind as we search Hoover Dam wow Hoover Dam well hang on a minute how far does that go no I don't think we're looking at that no we're not looking at Hoover Dam California no no I'm not going to search there for now Colorado what about this one here the naaj dam don't think that's right either remember the compass could be wrong Compass could be wrong that's quite a distinctive that that arm but then it raises the question what was the water level that that could be an island on an ordinary summer's day so bear it in mind I don't think it's that Lake though where are we now Colorado yeah where's the where's the biggest one in Colorado is it that one I wonder if things can get skewed by the you know the lens of this thing I don't think we're there really this this looks like New Mexico Arizona sort of Direction that's got to be it that's got to be it you could tell it a mile off it's actually not so much of a v that is the lens thing that I'm talking about uh skewing that it's actually quite straight from that side to that side but this is definitely it you can see every little feature you can see that bit there jutting out not an island you can see that bit of Lake there which is there so interestingly that's the biggest lake in Arizona so it's not counting that one then which is clearly bigger it's obviously it's given that to Nevada I presume anyway it's the Theodore Roosevelt Lake and Dam let's just try and make sure we don't lose any more points we can always give ourselves a moral perfect score so got to just put ourselves in the middle of the screen here so about there and it's a full score on round two 8 7 yards I think many of you would have got that one if you didn't get the first one but yeah well done if you found that one that was a bit easier that Lake

might service Phoenix I would say it probably does the Gila River interesting round three I'm enjoying this this is everything I thought it would be and more actually because we've had a mixture we've we've had a boat one we've had an aerial one and now we're on a beach with some sort of M Pole got a dude there walking along we've got flags it's pretty poor image quality oh look at the guy who made this one I I won't try and pronounce that sh I think he's fairly accurate so that would indicate China or you know Mongolia maybe no Mongolia they don't have they don't have the Chinese symbols do they so maybe this is is China I mean look how big this lake is I don't know anything about lakes in China but this lake is absolutely gigantic because well it's it's very very big it's very big you can't see the other side pretty much any given point you can see this enormous arm of Coastline wrapping around here so it's not exactly a hazy day but either way you can see that this is a gigantic Lake the guy or girl who was or in between who has taken this may have traveled just as they did in the first round this guy over here looks dark skinned but it could be the poor image quality this woman as well yeah it could just be that cuz look how black the the walkway looks that's very dark for some reason so it could be that the light is Playing Tricks on us or it could be that we're actually just in Africa let's have a look at China that looks like a huge Lake but again I'm not I'm still not sure whether they would count that as China's biggest lake you've got that one but we won't be there CU that's that's a very builtup area I think that one's pretty damn big bloody hell and that one there's quite a lot of similarly sized lakes here but I actually think that is not only the biggest king high but it's also it would match up for me with this sort of uh terrain kind of looks like more towards Mongolia that sort of thing I mean there is a big lake in Mongolia here OES like there's a lot of options here here this isn't going to be easy right okay let's presume that this is the King High Lake and let's presume that the compass is correct that's North the sun is in the South so that would that would add up so would we be here Bird Island Warf ticket office because then this Inlet here would be that and then the mountains you can see in the background but that might be I don't know about that that looks too small to be that gap for me although it is hard to tell how big this lake is exactly so that's one Theory we could be here something something Scenic area that would that make sense because this does look like like a bit of a spit of land that makes more sense to me cuz you've got the spit of land you've got absolutely vast expanses of water all the way around oh are they mountains over there well that's all right that's feasible and then you've got less of a gap look less of a gap but you still got Mountain so I'm I like that I like that I might I might just go for that and just be done with it to be honest it's annoying about that perfect score isn't it Hector you got this one but I don't think that adds up youve got like Lake by Cal the thing is you culturally you've got this I don't think you'd have that in Russia or less likely ah but then you've got the the dark skin now I'm going to go for it I'm going to go for where I've clicked and go for China because also if you have a look here the the mountains get bigger as they as they go further further down that Coast Eastward and I think they do here I think they do there so if this is Africa I'm sorry but I'm I'm I'm 80% sure 85% sure about this let's do it oh yes come on and uh

again I mean I this is this is still a moral Victory I think still should be on for a perfect score here but there you go an even harder map than we thought to get a perfect score on so wow lock KN I was going to say this looks more European um Lo KN I've heard of this this is um a huge Lake actually probably the biggest lake in the British Isles and it's in Northern irand the smallest principality or country in the British Isles pretty sure it's bigger than Loch Ness there's Loch Ness and there's Loch KN it's huge um and because it's so big it might be a bit tricky for me to actually pinpoint where we are here the compass needs to be right for sure let's try and Trust the compass might even birds of L KN and LU B no we're not going to be able to read any more on there so Compass where are we we're there so I mean I think a perfect score here is highly unlikely to be honest we seem to have a bit of an abyss over there but then we've got this strip the the edge of the spit is directly east so do we do we have anything we could be here ok Conor's stronghold don't see an island oh is that the island could be could be but there should be another little tiny Island as well not seeing that or could we be sort of here could we be there and we're looking out no it's not directly east then is it we can't be on the island that's a bit silly so I'm starting to wonder if the compass is wrong um so in which case we need to consider other options well do can we get can we get the sun where's the Sun ah we can get the sun look at that that's South that would back that would back it up guys that would back it up beautifully so I do think we've got to go down here then I'm going to go here okon stronghold on derua Island let's go for it oh my goodness ah that makes that makes a bit of sense I don't know exactly what we were looking at there there's so many

little bits and Bobs we got that that that I don't think we were looking at Far East but there we were we've dropped 13 points but we've still got a mighty old score I dropped by far the most points on by far the easiest Lake to locate but here we are on the final round and we're on a road once more we've had a mixture now this is going to be a US state again and there's the US flag just in the background of these two Keen fishermen uh that helps us well it doesn't really help us we can't be in Canada can we um because their Lakes are gigantic this looks to me quite East Coast quite New England or maybe a bit further south it's going to it's going to have to be a case of looking at the map and finding something shapewise that fits we're lucky here to have this road that cuts through because I imagine there's a bridge further on or maybe this is a dead end maybe it just Services you know these these marinas and boat houses and properties but this feature will will help us and the compass is going to work so that's North so we're looking up on this Eastern part what I thought was the eastern part is North and then that's South so I've got a bit of a map of it in my head let's just go into a state that we think is likely what about Pennsylvania Pennsylvania what's hard is to to actually hang on a minute don't tell tell me I found it no no I was going to no no no no I haven't I haven't I was going to say though what's what's going to be hard is finding the biggest lake in each one because as you saw in China it can be quite hard to actually decide which one's biggest and that's not even taking into account the ones that straddle two states like New York for example oh number plate not yellow so that rolles out New York not entirely but but yeah it it does Massachusetts there's a big lake that's obviously the biggest lake in Massachusetts Quabbin Reservoir fishing area that doesn't look to me like our Lake Vermont I presume it would be this absolutely gigantic Lake I think it would be more Piney up there I really really do I don't think we're up there Maine I'm going to leave alone for now New Jersey would have slightly yellow plates so I'll leave that for now Maryland I like the sound of Maryland because it's a little bit further south here's a lake that's North remember I don't think that quite adds up Delaware it's got hardly any lakes in it that's to see right we're going to have to speed things up in a bit because I'm struggling to find this lake or even the correct state for that matter what about Virginia that's the biggest one in Virginia I don't know about that are we further south than I thought here are we just yeah are we just you know you know North [Music] Carolina that's got to be it if this ain't it no this has got to be it I've been searching for ages guys um in probably at least 10 or 12 States I've arrived at this one Lake North man which me and Greg actually drove past funnily enough on our way uh to yeah down to Columbia but anyway big lake in North Carolina so a bit further south than I initially thought but I I will admit I've been searching also in Alabama and Georgia and South Carolina but for a while I was searching for this sort of thing but they're mostly Bridges they're going to have a gap for a boat and then then I started thinking well maybe this is like a spit you know that is a dead end basically and and that's I think well let's just make sure yeah you got this little creek Here There and we've got the space to the north and to the South I'm I've searched that much that I'm almost certain that this is correct so yeah good I knew it had to be cuz genuinely

in today's video I'm going to be taking you guys through some diverse world seeds and just explaining my entire thought process so that you guys can have a better idea of what goes through my mind when I'm able to get rounds really quickly so instead of going really quickly I'm going to be giving you my full thought process this video is also kind of an advertisement for my second Channel where I do really similar videos every single day so if you want to get better at the game then you should be following that every day it's really really beneficial I would say but okay let's get into the first one today so the link for this game will be in the description you can check that out hit the link and play it before you watch me here so that when you watch this you can uh compare it to your own guesses and see where I was able to gain some extra Insight over you okay first one here is interesting so let's break it down uh we'll have advanced tips and beginner tips in this video what I like to say first is look at the roadland so we've got white outer lines here with the yellow single Inner Line obviously we have polls here to help us out but first off this yellow single inner line is not found in too many places and especially because we have this this Asian language here we can really break it down so yellow single in a line you can see in Thailand in Southeast Asia you could see it in Japan and South Korea as well normally Taiwan would be using a double yellow line and then many of these other countries like like Indonesia could also have it as well so that's basically covering most of it I think Cambodia as well but yeah it's fairly common in Asia but then in Sri Lanka and in Bangladesh and in Malaysia you would not see it so you can immediately rule out some countries like that when you see this um we also have concrete poles with kind of dots all the way down them and this kind of big spike at the top and that is definitely something that you'd see this big spike at the top you definitely see that in Japan and Korea most commonly so basically narrowed it down to those two already and then we have this black and yellow guard on it um which does not go all the way down to down to the ground that should be somewhere in Korea because the Japanese one would have vertical stripes whereas these ones are horizontal um or not horizontal but diagonal um let's have some Farmland here which makes me think more of the South um are they black rock walls there I'm just trying to think this could be Jay Drew because in Jeju you have black rock walls but I think this is just something that's been burned let's check it out do we have any black broccols here to be honest it doesn't really feel like Jeju I think these mountains in the background are too far distant um so yeah I wouldn't go Jeju here instead I would probably go somewhere in the south of the country like this ends

up being 43 kilometers away so a really nice start there um so we'll make that a one country streak and head into the next round here okay next one um we don't have Google car here I've intentionally blocked that out so that we are teaching more less reliant on meta tips which I think will serve us better when the new generations of cameras come out and stuff like that um okay so this one immediately feeling like Europe with this architecture right um one thing I would say is like if you see a road without any markings and it seems like quite a wealthy or a wealthier country um then it's less likely to be like North America more likely to be um Europe so especially because it's quite thin as well if if if you couldn't go two cars abreast if it's only enough room for one car to really travel it's more of a European thing I would say definitely let's take a look here at some of these houses so we've got like some like kind of red tiled roofs here some of the houses are kind of black and made of wood which is interesting um as for poles they seem to be made of wood or is that concrete it's actually kind of hard for me to say here this again is actually kind of hard to say we have hooks on either side like that um this kind of hooked pole is most famously found in Latvia but with this amount of healiness we know we're not in lavier like you'd never see a hill that tall in Latvia um in fact the whole baltics are quite flat so moving down towards maybe the more Balkan side of things you do see this kind of hooked pole like that quite commonly in Bulgaria not really sure if this is Bulgaria but it could be found there also I feel like Slovenia and Croatia quite often haven't maybe even Montenegro as well so that's kind of that's kind of some thoughts here we have kind of like a reddish soil which I'm not really sure how to interpret either but okay let's check out the sky here because we have some mini Rifts so I do wonder if that could maybe indicate that we were in a Montenegro because obviously Montenegro and Albania are the countries where you do have bigger Rifts often in the sky but we don't really see those so I don't know um taking a look at the rest of the architecture and everything I do think it could fit for Montenegro obviously we don't have that kind of typical like Rocky uh Mountain face that you would often see there um so I don't want to get baited here um so let's just take a look this house almost feels like a bit Austrian in the way that I would expect to like see in Slovenia or maybe in Croatia but the rest of it is kind of generic so yeah this one's actually kind of a difficult round I I may end up going the wrong country here I think my instinct is one of these three countries I would be surprised if it's not one of the Eastern countries that I've mentioned here um and I think I may just go from Montenegro because of these mini Rifts in the sky although as I said they can be found in other countries and I would not be surprised to be wrong here um but okay if it was Montenegro I would say maybe maybe further in the south of the country like somewhere like this and not too confident maybe I should go Slovenia or even I don't know yeah architecture it's all it's all a bit ambiguous I can even see possibly Serbia yeah Serbia is not impossible um especially because we can't see the car whereas so we would normally have no idea but we can't see that of course okay so I could hedge it in Serbia that's not actually a bad idea I think maybe I should have you in Serbia here well I've talked a lot and I think I'm just gonna make my guess here I'm gonna hedge it in Serbia and it was actually

just over the Border in Montenegro so we lose the country there but get quite a good score okay that's good to know um and so sometimes in montenegger you won't see the full Rifts okay next one here is pretty straightforward with the language but let's talk about how uh this round is getable so this kind of black and white um diagonal um sticker on the pole is quiet Russian we also have like all white Road lands which you definitely see in Russia we have these long white number plates which don't have a blue strip we have this red and white um kind of uh thing on the pole which is actually quite a Russian thing to do um houses off uh feel quite Russian here green roof quite a Russian thing to do um not super common but if you see it you can definitely consider Russia uh round speed signs here obviously and The Ballad spam at the intersection this is a big one so Russia at Russia a big kind of Highway in sections which you'll see quite a lot in this coverage you often have these ballards with the black top and uh not necessarily with a black top but you often see like a whole bunch of them lining the whole um in section so um obviously then we also have this Russian language here and so now we've got to think about where this is so I'm looking at these trees they are really tall oftentimes really tall trees are somewhere around Moscow or a bit north of Moscow however I'm not so sure about this round whether that actually fits let's have a really dense bunch of like Birch trees here when you see a really dense birch trees that can that can often indicate like kind of like an obviously be as crass noise kind of area so I actually think I'll put my marker there for now as I look at the rest of the round because obviously Russia it's a hard country and so I could not I could not guarantee that I'll get close here at all um we do have some hilliness because that could fit for that kind of area of the country um harmatta would definitely help here but obviously we're going with that car um yeah it's just these trees that feel a bit more Moscow area but but yeah actually looking at these ones I I do kind of like further out now it could just be kind of two men um kind of Euros kind of area as well and kind of worried that it might be more so there um but I do yeah I do get the feeling that somewhere between here and here that's really my guess with these kind of really clumped tall trees um like this this this particularly looks quite Siberian and kind of middle Siberian okay so I have to make up my mind here again it's not an easy round so I'm just I just want to take my whole thought process in here as for me I think I may actually go Truman here instead of going further east but I guess we'll find out here I'll let us guess in human itself and it

will be actually just in Moscow okay so uh I thought the uh tree those dense trees might have been more of a uh of a Siberian looking one but I was wrong uh the tall the really tall kind of orange barked trees uh where I guess the clue there and that's really kind of a Moscow area thing so at least I mentioned it but uh was not able to get too close there unfortunately it's still an okay score but nothing nothing very good okay next one here we have fairly obvious clues for the country so let's run through it so first off we're noticing we've got um blue strips on all the plates that's definitely useful um we have another number plate meta over there but let's take a look over this Direction first okay signage and language obviously do help as well um we do have these uh pedestrian crossing signs with only four dashes a characters that only use four dashes so Sweden and Norway two that only use four dashes I'm trying to think of on my feet one of the country is actually only used four because most countries in Europe use five or three um with some exceptions but they're the only ones that come to mind at the moment tell me in the comments if you can think of any others once you have all these long dashes on the outside of the road here this time it's actually quite useful so these would be like half the length in Sweden but you get this length in Norway also we know it's Norway because of this green normal plate over here on the service fan I can't really think of anywhere else that you'd see that on a van or that you may see that these days in Eastern Europe a lot of times green number plates indicate um like electronic Vehicles so that's also uh worthwhile to know I don't know where this place is um but I do get the feeling this could be kind of like Central uh in Norway or maybe southern um although I don't see I don't see Northern as absolutely impossible either I'm just not really sure so I think I might click Center here because I'm yeah I just don't really know uh there was something else I wanted to mention here obviously architecture would help out it looks like we're on some kind of a skiing like town or something like that I don't know where skiing actually happens but I suppose like where some of these toilet Peaks I might might be it but I guess my my real thought was to click over here just as a bit of a hedge as well because I don't really know where this is um but yeah definitely definitely going to be annoying that's something else I wanted to mention I think I forgot so let me know if you in the comments if you uh see anything else in this round

Context: evening


but I will guess right now and it was just like down near the biggest mountains here which makes sense uh and was that actually ski Town it was very touristy for sure but I don't see any skis slopes so maybe just a tourist town instead but hey not bad oh we got the right country again and the last one of the first seed here is looking like it's going to be somewhere in um well actually let's take a look around here so first off uh first things first let's take a look at the number plates so this looks like a shorter number blade here which is very useful when you have this kind of Latin American Vibe because some countries use longer number plates and some shorter so this one also kind of feels like it's going to be a short number plate rather than a longer one now this one is really hard to tell but I think the number plate actually ends like that from what we've seen on the other cars it would make sense if the normal plate was also shorter here I think um we have wooden poles as well which is definitely interesting I I could not say uh this is a particularly easy round because I think the country we're in does normally use uh does normally use concrete poles instead of wooden ones so a little bit of bait here potentially um we do have quite a few Palms here um like the whole the whole Bible around is a bit Greener um than maybe what I would have expected um do we have like a number plate there almost feels a bit black but I don't think we're actually using black normal plates here this church architecture is certainly interesting as well although I don't know if I could really say anything specific about it okay moving on here um the sun here is to the South which I think is probably the biggest clue if you if you weren't really clued in with the number plates here the Sunbeam to the South is huge here because that really cuts off you know Argentina and Brazil almost to Brazil uh where you might be tempted to guessing around like this with quite reddish soil it's about the same but yeah with these wooden poles with this predominance of wooden poles it shouldn't be Brazil with the sun there it shouldn't be Argentina so we should be looking at Mexico here with short number plates and with the with the with the these poles um as I said Mexico would normally use like octagonal concrete poles but it is possible to see so many wooden ones and I almost get the feeling we might be very close to the United States here especially because on this bus it says stop instead of Alto which it normally would say Alto on stop signs in in uh in Mexico um also we have like three American trucks in a row here I think to see three like Chevrolets or Ford pickup trucks in a row inside um like South America would be quite unlikely whereas in Mexico it's quite common and then finally we also have like a Coca-Cola dispenser here and they love Coca-Cola in Mexico so that's also something to note okay with this many Palms we shouldn't be too far from water um I'm thinking like kind of this region over here um it could even just be like like near Tijuana like Mexicali kind of area but yeah I do I do not want to guess too far from the US border here just because the amount of wooden poles but yeah I think I'll go somewhere over here um maybe like this kind of this kind of region here I mean we can always check the angle of the road and it seems like it actually might be on a grid here so that could actually work um but yeah it's gonna be somewhere in northern Mexico let's just give this a

Context: evening


go and it was actually in that kind of area there 28 kilometers away I think also this area has some more Red Dirt so that's actually a really nice guess making up for some of our poorer guesses in that one so let me know how you did on that first seed probably many of you beat me because of my lackluster Russia and uh uh no I guesses but uh let us head into another one here and hopefully uh improve on 20 000 which is certainly improvable on okay next link is also in the description so go ahead and play that and our first one here is a pretty obvious country for me um so let's run through why exactly that is okay so we've got reddish dirt here we've got a lot of corrugated iron roofs and we also have have a taxi here with yellow panels on it so uh with yellow novel plates and taxis with yellow panels this should mean we're going to be somewhere in Ghana pretty straightforward round especially because you guys will be playing with the Google car which um is pretty obvious for Ghana so we have kind of biggest mountains here uh mountains in Ghana kind of like along this section here and then South and around Kumasi um I think I may have had this round before the town feels familiar to me um but regardless we have wooden poles here um generally speaking uh Nigeria and Senegal would both use more concrete poles whereas Ghana is more of a wooden pole country which is definitely useful if you're playing no car no Compass or nmpz or something like that and we have these big ditches which also definitely fits for Ghana as well any other the other normal place is the big one here because yellow France and Rears should really just be Ghana here also a bit of English as well I can only assume uh the the crossbars are also kind of like thin metal here so well which fits and then also we have like big bulbs here which can fit for like Ghana or Nigeria quite often so I think this is someone new Kumasi is as far as I remember I think I've had this round before maybe a year ago or something but I think I remember so let's see if I'm right about that and

Context: evening


yeah it was there I kind of remembered where that was so there we go a very good score to start us off with but yeah that kind of area is quite green and hilly so keep that in mind okay next one here we once again have that Spike on the top of the pole this one looking a little bit different though um and I'll take a look around here yeah okay yeah good to know okay so this uh is Japan we have the low camera here we've got that that kind of wide blur um we are set up for left-hand drive as well so if you couldn't tell us low camera should be left hand drive and that would pretty much exclude um South Korea because the sun is on the left hand side of the road here um this is an interesting one I honestly thought that this would be somewhere in southern Japan just based on this kind of long grass now I'm starting to doubt myself I think this actually could be quite a bit further north than I initially anticipated um so I don't really know I'm not I'm not a Japan expert so that's really worth bearing in mind here we have this uh black and yellow kind of guy wire here and I'm pretty sure black and yellow guy wires are mosh koku and then more Northern Japan and the thing that makes me actually think this is maybe Northern Japan here is these um like red and white poles here which I definitely think can be found around the place but are common in Northern Japan like in this kind of area here so that's where I think we are I'm kind of worried that this is all the way wrong and that we could be Southern here but it doesn't look like the solid guy why and those tend to be pretty consistent I also don't really know about the plates that I found on the poles here which are also useful um I yeah I'm just not too sure um it's not too Madness and you do kind of get quite a few flat regions around this part of the country especially near the coast so I could see it I might just hedge kind of here I'm hoping it's not on shikoku or something like that but um I'm kind of using these poles as my as my evidence here because this grass almost feels a bit more Southern um but it almost feels a bit like Coastal as well Vibes wise so we'll see here I'm just gonna go for the S and

Context: evening


we'll be correct or not okay was actually on this peninsula here so I don't really know how the other guy wires work here it's not a bad score we're actually not that far away uh by Japan standards there but uh you know it's a fairly easy Japan so that's at least good with low camera always helps out okay next one here uh countries immediately obvious from when I load in so let's uh try and break that down okay so the double yellow line in the center of the road is actually quite useful here obviously double yellows um and uh meaning more often the you know the United States uh or South America or something like that um definitely in countries that prefer to use double yellows you can see it all around as well as I've said earlier in the video type one you can even see in Japan in New Zealand and all around the spot but yeah you know run around like this kind of flat concrete pole um kind of uh this American looking style a styles of like green and white text sign should be somewhere in like North or South America here now um I would actually say Vibes wise this is this is really quite an Argentinian Uruguayan looking Round And even still it looks much more Argentinian than it looks Uruguayan but that could just be confirmation bias because this can't be Uruguayan because in Uruguay instead of using double yellows they would have a double yellow with a white Dash in the center of it which we just do not have at all here and so that should mean we're in Argentina also this round poll with this particular pole top which is kind of like a bar almost looks like a bow or something like that that's Argentinian uh maybe you can find it in like Peru as well um but yeah yeah it should be just Argentinian here with this landscape uh yeah and also we don't see any mountains and obviously in the vast majority Peru you would see mountains so that's also helping okay so I think this is kind of like somewhere around here between Cordoba and nequan somewhere I'm not exactly sure where my hedge closer to Cordoba here um and uh yeah that's about all I have to say on this one it's fairly simple with the uh with the poles and the road markings so let's just go there and uh

Context: evening


it was actually near the Queen instead should have gone further south but that's okay it was very green for that area often starts to get a bit drier by it then and your next round is kind of interesting this is one I would not say I know the country immediately so let's check it out I've got a sign which is uh red um outlined diamond or triangle which is uh set up for right hand drive so that that kind of a style of signage is most common in Europe and Africa with the uh with the um triangle we have like some fruit trees here so I feel like a warmer climate we have some like potentially holy poles here I would say these are probably holy poles so that definitely helps out um concrete pods with holes in them and we already know Romania Hungary and Poland are the three countries that love to do those these ones definitely seem thicker so Poland better to be cut out so it should be a Romania or hungry and this landscape kind of rolling uh with some more wooden poles as well I don't know it can be either it can still be either here and one thing that makes me think this is actually still possibly hungry is that this looks like another sign and it looks like it's really tall and small and so that would be a Hungarian type of thing to do but I must say that the rest of the round does feel quite romantic and so I'm thinking of getting somewhere on the border here because this really looks like a Hungarian type of sound where it's like small and high but the rest of the round I probably would have gone Romania so that's kind of my thought process here um it almost feels like a Romanian sign as well so I think I really do click right on the border here maybe maybe even just in Romania because I just feel like the landscape fits better anything else to say here a lot of crops feels quite sunny as well they both fit for Romania I would say um White Road lands obviously European thing and then we're lacking any architecture or anything like that so you can kind of distinguish the two countries from architecture quite often but uh yeah on this occasion maybe not do I trust this sign I feel like I maybe should just trust the sign but no I'm gonna go with my heart here my heart says like Romania on the border so let's

Context: evening


see if I'm right and it was Romania good it ends up being just Southern there um maybe that sign in the distance was not what I thought it was um but yeah we come up with the country Street there so that's always good okay next one here I mean you know the country here so let's break down why exactly this is where it is okay so first off we've got the yellow diamond sign this is the opposite to the European style that we were just looking at it has a thick white uh post here as well which you would not see in Australia so that's at least something also we've got blue street signs here if you have like a Pure Color street sign like a blue one like a yellow one like something like that maybe even green um well I'd say blue and yellow definitely much much more common in New Zealand than Australia um Australia normally uses white ones with some kind of colored text normally just black text so it's really normally that simple um we also do appear to have wooden policy which is interesting and some taller mountains in the north there so this all helps um at this stage in time New Zealand is a country that tends to have more Generation 3 in less populated areas so that's just a good little rule of thumb um or less Generation 4 at least okay we've got Tom popular kind of trees here um yeah I mean there's not really too much else to say I mean this kind of uh style of Chevron is more New Zealand than Australia but it's kind of hard to describe why it's kind of a bit thicker a bit taller um and then uh yeah we got these like long rows of trees which are obviously also fits kind of kind of like Christchurch area so I could see us being kind of like in the outskirts of like Christchurch area even further south anywhere to like I'll say anywhere to Dunedin kind of works here although the mountains in the north feel quite distant so dunedin's obviously quite close to the mountains whereas uh Christchurch it's not that it's not that difficult to like find yourself relatively far from the mountains like in this kind of area I might even go over here to be honest that's kind of my thought here um I definitely think South Island just because of these like huge rows of trees um and wooden poles are often more common in South Island as well so I'll go there see if we're correct about that

Context: evening


ends up being in that kind of area very nice indeed so we had some better guesses there definitely the Ghana the New Zealand uh came out nice and we've got all countries correct and I should have had better on the Argentina I really called it out so let's go for one more game here and see how it happens again in the description if you want to play along and first around here we have an extremely distinctive Road here so uh let me try and drill this one into your brain if you are someone who uh likes to remember some roads on GEOS so uh Chile is one of these countries that occasionally uses all yellow lions and when you have this overcast coverage on a concrete road with like ocean nearby and it feels fairly Southern a bit desolate but also quite green then you should be somewhere on is it the number nine or the number seven what is it the number nine here in southern Chile we also do have ocean here to our East which definitely makes sense for us to be somewhere like around here I would say if we see more kind of land in the distance here slight Hills that definitely fits that definitely fits so I'll assume we're somewhere in like the southern number nine here uh it could even be kind of a bit further up as well and so yeah that's what you're gonna remember all yellows concrete um overcast and uh yeah kind of dreary with a flack of trees but you can see forests as well of course like that so I'd say we just get somewhere around here and hope for the best here and indeed we are right there so very nice 39 kilometers away you can basically get

Context: evening


three points uh by remembering that road because it's basically the only one in the southern region of Chile post um or like after the uh National Park of Torres Del Paine so there we go oh Pioneer so next one here Eastern European Vibe immediately with this kind of like rusted and colorful fence here um and also this kind of red and yellow a red and white Motif is very uh very Eastern European we've got another one of these triangle signs we've got our White Center Line here as well it's hilly we've got some like corn growing there which also is something you often see in that area of the world without an antenna this is actually a relatively difficult round and countries that come to mind with this kind of dry climate like Romania Ukraine maybe in Serbia maybe even Hungary or Bulgaria that kind of region is really feeling most likely to me here with the healiness about it definitely isolates it to certain areas we with that kind of healiness we probably wouldn't be in eastern Ukraine playing Western Ukraine and Romania kind of vibe here I would say single white line is interesting as well I feel like some of these countries would use this double double white so I'm wondering maybe maybe Serbia is actually quite possible here maybe this is Serbia I don't know about this sign I think roasted rusted signposts are definitely more common in some countries than others but it's definitely a hard hard to put your finger on it but okay if it is sober it's going to be Southern Serbia because Northern Serbia is quiet flat whereas as soon as you get south of Belgrade you start getting those mountains so I would say I would say I would say Serbia is a good a good channel here actually I'm not really sure about the country it could even be further north like uh Croatia Slovenia I just saw I have covered all my bases here in case I'm wrong but I think that's really the possible countries there Slovenia Croatia Hungary Bulgaria yeah without without Google car is difficult but I think I will hit it in Serbia here will be correct we won't

Context: evening


Serbia even quite close yes we're actually on a good score to start off this seed so if we can continue on that luck and we have a yellow sticker on this pole uh so in Japan which we are again here with this low camera uh small cars have yellow number plates that's also another nice little tip here if they ever don't do Japan with low cam then you can definitely use that to your advantage this yellow sticker I feel like that might be you know this kind of central region here like gifu or something fukui or something like that I'm not really sure nagorno maybe even I forget um taking a look at the architecture here look like a flat roof we don't really have enough flat roofs to really get anything from that we have again this kind of uh black and yellow striped um guy wire which we last time saw in this region so maybe I even go in Chicago or something like that because that's when we had the last round with that but obviously as I said that's kind of like a North or Chicago thing this could certainly be north um I don't really see anything that I yeah this this this plug here is longer which I I think is something you see in the South and the North um like Hokkaido but the yellow one I really don't know I just need to learn my Japan matters at some point to get their guesses because they are really useful this is again a longer um a longer like kind of plaque here so I do Wonder uh whether this could be Hokkaido indeed I mean it certainly could be the head the head just kind of blocking our view and this amount of trees is a bit suspicious for Hokkaido but maybe I do guess further north here again that may actually be the viable option here instead but I hope I don't click away from the actual answer I'm gonna go I'm gonna go North here again as a hedge let's actually see about that and it was all the way South this time Yamaguchi

Context: evening


Yamaguchi huh okay okay definitely not a good score there Japan is definitely a country where I could uh have some room for improvement but I would say those were just particularly difficult Japan rounds um normally I do do better anyway next one here we got wooden poles we've got yellow outside lines we've got a sign set up for left-hand drive with the uh triangle instead of the diamond so yeah with this diamond sign come over the yellow outside lines should just be somewhere with the triangle sorry it should be somewhere in South Africa we've got generation four camera as well so South Africa is uh yeah immediately the country of choice at this point in time the other three do not have our generation 4 coverage uh and so this this sign is also a very common sign to see in South Africa and South African countries you can also see that one in like Romania Bulgaria turkey and maybe something Middle East as well but yeah in South Africa definitely South Africa um and so what we say here about the landscape a lot of like corn or something being grown here um it's quite like it's quite industrialized we have clumps of trees it was quite nice I would say this is somewhere near hauteng like around here probably in mumpumulanga state um but yeah I could also see you could also see just in Hao Tang itself here so that's why I'll click right there um yeah that's about it to say here kind of rolling landscape um dryish that definitely fits to this region of the country we'll be right yes we were

Context: evening


indeed so if only we've got Japan right we'd still be on a massive score but unfortunately that's not to be okay next one here and we appear to be somewhere in Thailand or something like that here based on this language right uh we have this like kind of like double lane concrete road that I was telling you guys is more common in Philippines but of course to that language this should just be somewhere in Thailand uh we do have what appears to be a type hole here oh this is interesting yeah we have one of these like bulb things now do we do we have oh unfortunately we don't have any pole close to us because that could actually really have helped us out getting a close guess but as for that yeah yeah this kind of bulb can help you get a close guess if you can see it clearly but unfortunately we can't count the number of ribs on it so we cannot get that kind of uh perfectly closed guess that we'd like to uh yeah these fences are quite Thai particularly with this kind of like Motif going on inside here um and apart from that the main thing to get here is the language really um I don't think I would have gone Philippines though I just think something about it is more tired with these fences this kind of architecture of these kind of stilts houses we got going on here like this particularly like with the stairs going up to the family room like that um so for this one I could see kind of anything from north to south this is very generic it is Hillier so maybe I don't really know I'll probably just click somewhere like that because I can see South here still is a lack of there isn't like a Palms I would say that we don't see a single Palm so to speak we do see a banana plants everywhere but no no actual palm trees from what I can see uh yeah so maybe I will click further north here not really sure lumpung seems possible so I think I'll just go over it but uh yes we'll find out where this actually is should be Thailand indeed but whereabouts and it is another nice

Context: evening


right hand side of the car and that is obviously strange because we're driving right hand side of the road so the steering wheel should be on the left so this is actually an illegally imported car from japan what is going on guys zigzag here welcome back to another geographer video and this one is the third installment of teaching series where i show you guys in-depth round breakdowns and challenge you guys in the description so yeah find the challenge links for the description inside today's videos you play the rounds before i play them and then hopefully i will be able to if you're a weaker player than i am i'll be able to show you where you went wrong and that kind of thing also in today's episode we're going to be playing without the car um so yeah without the google car and that will actually um yeah make things a little bit more difficult but it's also a better way to learn because then you don't get reliant on the um you know the google car meta so this is challenge link one go ahead and hit that one and uh let's see how we go in the first round here okay so this one is going to be in generation 2 camera it's a little bit of an older camera um work here and it feels very tropical look at these banana plants over here um so let's take a look at everything we can see um we have some trucks over here is this the same truck three times in a row is this a camo glitch i think it literally is just three of the same truck parked in a row but yeah definitely an interesting one um so for me there's only really two options here it's either gotta be south africa or mexico because of the generation two um and and the fact that it's quite tropical so either way all the way up here or i think what's more likely is that we're gonna be somewhere in mexico but the the houses here don't strike me as particularly mexican to be honest um so maybe it will have to be south africa um yeah i think it actually is going to be south africa here now that i'm looking at it kind of almost looks a bit australian which is not really something you don't really see too many mexican rounds that look australian still a a weird round to be sure um but yeah i think we should go somewhere over here and pretty far north um but also quite green so maybe richards bay i wouldn't mind that we'll see

Context: evening


and yeah this was 115 kilometers away so a really good start um i was actually kind of unsure with that guess um it was to be like this is really bad i won't restart the video but no there we go it's a it's a good it's a good start and uh yeah near durban there okay so this one is curious and that was what that was a very difficult round so no worries if you didn't get it it was kind of a vibe one um the architecture was the biggest clue because a lot of the times in mexico you have the paint in front of the houses you know the south american style architecture anyway so here we are um in what appears to be a european scene so first off noticing this white colored dirt it's very flat it's very flat all around uh we have some a-frame poles over here which is probably going to be a clue and the biggest clue of them all is this bollard which has a number on it and it's painted pure or it's not painted but it's got a pure a red section over here and it's white otherwise um so even before turning around here um we know that this one's going to be a polish boullard uh this is also a polish sign not only does it kind of look like polish language i mean if you know you know um but it's also green and those kind of green signs kind of like uh poland and hungary quite common in those two countries uh but this uh particular font as well is the polish one so i know with beyond reasonable doubt with those three clues that this one's going to be poland and honestly the flat landscape and everything fits that quite nicely as well so i think we're going to be somewhere you know fairly central here actually so i'm just going to go here a bit north of warsaw

Context: evening


and yeah this is right on the border with the ukraine actually before 1400 is a good score so on to the next one uh this one is looking asian off the bat we can see that um this kind of spire here and these kind of like a pointed rooves are quite asian looking to me uh what's interesting is we have like these crisscross bricks which is going to be interesting this one's an asian van as well if you know your car makes uh you know that the asian ones are obviously quite common in asia um whereas like in south america or something you'd be getting more european cars in as well as asian ones uh and look at these roofs here so definitely super asian so now it's time to look at the power poles to see if they're going to give any clues because one thought i did have um was that this might be thailand thailand tends to use square poles though so even though i thought these might look thai they are they are not i don't think because we don't see any of the square poles and they're much more common over there so now my thoughts are turning to indonesia it's quite dry obviously thailand has a large section of dry area out here where i've just drawn this um this triangle also these islands out here get quite dry from from kind of the uh eastern point in java all the way over to timor-leste it's very dry um in indonesia so also this uh number plate appears to be black as well so i'm feeling fairly confident with that um for that reason i i think it could be bali um i might go in this city over here on the next city over um but i do think we're gonna be somewhere in this section here so let's see if i'm right about that and yeah this actually was in the um eastern part of java like i said it might be um and uh yeah i may easily have gone over there um but uh we still pull 4000 which is pretty

Context: evening


good for indonesia i'd say next round okay so here we go and we immediately are greeted with some very european looking architecture don't really think we'd see houses like this anywhere else in the world so let's take a look around but we have a yellow sign here which is very um indicative of former balkan countries um these yellow signs i think slovenia croatia i think serbia has them too uh maybe north macedonia too i think maybe those four have them um so that's what i'm thinking off the bat um there's probably others that do as well i just can't remember this car is lacking a blue strip which is curious that could uh be a hint for later on as well um do we have just looking around at what the architecture is like here so we also have a like kind of a peak over the sea and a um and a dash over this sea and i see suffix i do definitely associate with croatia i have a bunch of croatian viewers said no doubt they'll be in the comment section but um yeah i think that i see ending especially on like a last name or something it's very croatian at least to me uh also we don't have any holy poles so that kind of uh excludes uh hungary as well but this language wasn't hungarian so it wasn't really an option to begin with um and also the lack of a blue strip i know is something is a bit more common in croatia so yeah the architecture fits for me as well i wouldn't be surprised if we were somewhere around zagreb here um it almost looks a bit serbian as well but we don't have the google car but we'd probably also have some cyrillic in serbia so that's probably why i won't go there also actually i'm i'm actually quite confident that this is uh croatia because a lot of the time they have the blue fire extinguishers so or fire hydrants so there you go i think that is going to be the clue that tips me over here and yeah it kind of has a bit of a hungry vibe so i'm thinking of going actually even closer to hungary here maybe in this town here let's see

and uh yeah that's a super good guess 27 kilometers away very very pleased with that 4927 you already know this is this is going very nice sometimes you gotta sit and wait a while before you make your guess and you may end up making a better one because of it so uh this one is good um let's take a look at these double your whites in the center um the fact that they are double white lines is uh very useful because obviously this is a very dry country and um there are parts of south america for example that would look similar to this but we can pretty much count out argentina and and well chile is also using white lines but this is not a particularly clean looking um outback and maybe uh by the fact that i've said it out back here you can guess that i i do think this is australia we've got some australian bullards here um with a red reflector and a silver reflector on the right hand side of the road uh we have these double um white lines this is a a thing that indicates how likely a fire is um so that's curious but this is i assume is actually the name of the town um i actually don't know where it is but um but it is the cradle of bulk handling maybe maybe this town is that um i think this is in western australia and the big reason for that is that we have this very kind of ready orangey brownie dirt like i would i would describe it as more brown but a bit orange and that's super typical of western australia also we know it's not south australia because we don't have stoby poles that are concrete here this is a wooden pole um what else is there to say um these ballads are you can't you can't really see it too well but these bollards in the distance have a black base and that's also more common uh in western australia so yeah feeling fairly confident so we could and i imagine some of you who are playing the challenge will actually go and find this but i think we're gonna be somewhere around here so i will give a quick scan um just in case um but i i don't think i want to um waste you guys time too much here um but i can see some similar looking names out of this direction so i wouldn't be surprised if we were somewhere out here so i think that is probably what we'll go for and this landscape is quite green so maybe even closer to perth um let's just go here and see how close we are

Context: evening


and uh yeah there we are so that was actually a really nice guess again and we have ended up with 22 700 and if i have listened to myself a little bit more of that indonesia it could have been even higher so that was a really nice first seat and i hope you learnt a little bit there but the dirk paula was the main decider there for western australia so that is really good to keep in mind and it can save you from some bad guesses on the other side of australia i say let's get into the second link here also if you want this script i'll probably remember to put that in the description if i don't just uh comment but here is number two and uh yeah let's head straight into the game here okay so this one is looking rather japanese um well let's explain that because it's not entirely obvious off the bat here so this square car is probably the main one that's making me think japan off the bat um they just love square cars in japan and so if you haven't picked that up yet it's very common over there also it's like a short and thick plate that's also quite japanese oh this is like a i guess it's a japanese stop sign i've actually never considered but i think because it's red it must be a stop sign obviously quite different to a normal one in europe or elsewhere um this car is also driving on the left-hand side of the road which japan drives on and here again we have a square car and not to mention this one is square as well so it's funny japan like sends out all these different looking cars all around the world but back home they love the square ones and yeah we've got some yellow uh front plates here that is also consistent with japan um and so what else do we need to say here it's fairly flat it is fairly flat and i'm i'm i'm not actually sure if i think this is going to be north or south um i do see a pine here often the pines might be an indication of more northern but um yeah i don't think that's any guarantee at this stage um i think i'll just have to pick someone flat a little bit north so i'm thinking maybe somewhere over here um i'm really not sure let's go in this small town here but yeah not really too confident here we'll just have to see how close we are and uh yeah that's not a bad guess 170

Context: evening


kilometers away we were over on this side um and uh yeah not not bad not much to say about japan it's a tough country to guess inside of um here is a good little round we are using all white road lines here so that is good um obviously this one already felt quite european but if you were confused about it being canada or the us well we can already rule those out because of the um white road lands we've got a bunch of thin birch trees here which is good to know we have a snow pole here as well now i remember the getting a bit screwed up by my snow poles last time but i think this might be a finished snow pole um and and it goes orange all the way up and then a little white band and then orange again so i think that's also the case also this is a generation three camera um so it's not generation four and obviously in um or maybe not obviously if you're new but a lot of norwegian rounds is generation four so yeah um there's also yellowstone here which is furious i hope this isn't um sweden or anything but with this bollard i think the spotlight might be the uh finnish one so yeah i'm not all that confident but it should be fairly far north here i would not be surprised if we're about halfway up finland here and obviously we see some lakes as well so yeah i think that is pretty consistent with that area of the country and yeah it's a little further south but uh 4500 again very good effort i would say next one okay this one is a nice little one here plenty of clues to get it but uh if you don't know them obviously it's going to be a difficult one so let's take a look around i just figured out you can do this on the keyboard check it out oh you can't do it yeah there we go look look you can use a and d too look around anyhow so we have plenty of clues here let's observe it so we have an arrow here saying that we're driving left hand side of the road so already we are exiting out a lot of europe all continental europe is out of the picture here apart from malta the uk and ireland okay so you we also have this yellow line in the center though which is quite uncommon uh for left-hand drive countries i have to say most left-hand drive countries using all white road lines this one apparently not okay we also have an english sign here so that's very good clue as well we have white poles and a bollard with a red reflector even on the right hand side of the road using a red reflector so that is what we're working with here um and uh yeah here are some of the more of the upper odds there like split down the middle um and so what are we thinking guys well this one is going to be new zealand so we can already tell that by the bullets they're similar to the polish ones that we had earlier except thinner what's more we have these white poles that is very common in new zealand as opposed to australia they almost never paint the poles white in australia so that's a really good clue um it's hilly so obviously that is definitely consistent with new zealand and yeah sometimes in new zealand they do this white yellow line with the whites uh dotted next to it and you'll also see that in argentina in uruguay and in philippines sometimes and maybe some others as well but that's the main countries you'll see and uh that's basically all that all she wrote so i think somewhere in north island here although this could be easily be the north of the south island as well and uh yeah i don't know where that is so let's just go here

Context: evening


and uh yeah this is another good guess it's on the north island and we have been pretty consistent here just getting about 150 kilometers away each time and uh just as i was talking about malta this one is looking like it's going to be malta and the biggest clue for multi is these rock walls they have rocklers everywhere and obviously there are other countries like that where they have rock walls as well like ireland and sometimes france as well but this one's more dry you can see we even have some cacti over here which you definitely see in malta as well so this one looking like a pretty surefire motor before we even look around it's kind of got like an australian style climate where it's very dry but also you do get some green grass as well and uh yeah i would be very surprised if this isn't malta although perhaps um sometimes you will get a similar type of round in um in sardinia or in sicily as well yet feeling pretty confident this is just going to be somewhere in rural malta not that there's much of it but uh yeah i don't know and also i'm not actually sure if this is going to be the north or the south island um but i'm just going to go south because there's more uh rural land there and yeah we are super close 4.2 kilometers away very nice and uh yeah we are on track for another good score here

Context: evening


if we uh get this one right so here is this round uh this one has a number of good clues that we can get it from first off let's look at the pole it is actually all concrete so that is going to be a good clue it's not holy and it doesn't have any like um like uh doesn't have any like ladder um element to it you can't climb up it so that's good to know we have white outside road lines here uh here are some more of those poles over there it's quite a temperate looking climate not particularly uh would you say not particularly um tropical it's also hilly over here and the biggest clue is that we are here driving right and we have these plates with blue on both sides now see blue on both sides plates in france in italy and albania but you will only see these short ones these these uh normal european plates are about that long but these ones are a bit shorter but the blue on both sides definitely means we're in italy um so even albania which uses a very very similar color scheme um they would have the longer place on the front so yep has to be italy whereabouts is the question this actually is looking to be a bit of a difficult round if we check down for this valley not entirely obvious to me i think i'm just going to have to guess halfway up the country here um yeah maybe a little bit further south here don't mind that right there a bit a bit further south of rome could be up north i'm i'm not really sure here um let's just rip it in and see if i wrap and uh yeah this actually was a bit further north unfortunately first bad guess of the

Context: evening


unfortunately first bad guess of the video really i would say um but uh there we go 22 220 so hopefully i'm still beating you guys um but if you're beating me good job um hopefully you're still learning a little something maybe on the australian runs and whatnot but uh yeah let's go into the next one i like to play about five here so let's uh we'll be you'll be able to see in the description how many there are but uh let's jump in to the next one put this right here and uh go in i'm enjoying this i hope you guys are too these ones tend to be like nice slow burners they uh they get a lot of views as as the time passes so yeah i hope maybe you're watching this a bit after it comes out and i hope you are enjoying so this one says motel um and we appear to be in russia that is cyrillic of course this is the l in cyrillic um so yeah russia is feeling most likely to me right here because we don't have to google card i suppose this could be um ukraine um but uh one sad thing or maybe depending on what you look at it as um is that ukraine tends to have very poor road quality like i mean really poor like i would say like 70 of the runs you have in ukraine they have just cracked roads everywhere this one is nice quality so thinking more of russia here um taking a look at these poles i have seen these these are black and white stripes sometimes around belarus in russia so i'm wondering about that right now uh we have these very long white plates with no strips so yeah that is definitely russian looking i can pretty much exclude every other country apart from russia and ukraine here and definitely reminding me more of russia out of the two in fact i think when you have these this letter instead of an eye um that is going to be in russia more likely and uh yeah the signs and everything like that definitely appear to be russian to me so yeah it could be ukraine seems unlikely to me uh so that is pretty much all we have to go off here we have like kind of this white dirt it's very flat so very very generic rush around i would say here and i just kind of want to test out this theory of going near belarus um because i think i have seen that kind of thing before um the the as i said these these little markings here but i could be wrong let's see about that theory

Context: evening


and uh yeah this is actually near moscow so 4 000 points is actually a pretty good effort for russia but if you just went to moscow you would have had a really nice score uh unfortunate but as for a rush around that is actually pretty good and let's check out this round it's looking quite similar this time we have a really poor road quality but it doesn't necessarily strike me as ukraine either so let's check out what we got going on it's very um like it's very rural yeah i would say um this sign at the very bottom has a bit of black and uh that's something you definitely see a lot of the time in russia um let's check out this one so this car has a steering wheel on the right hand side of the car and that is obviously strange because we're driving right hand side of the road so the steering wheel should be on the left so this is actually an illegally imported car from japan presumably from a left-hand side drive country um because to avoid fees or import fees or something like that um and so we have a cafe in busco so i have a feeling that we're going to be somewhere near japan here and a lot of the time that will be in succulent and so i want to see if there's any place called oscar um because it's possible and then we could get a really crazy score here the coverage covers about half the island i think and i just want to see if there is any oscar uh it doesn't seem like there is but it was worth a little check here so it doesn't seem to be any oscar so let's take a look around for any other clues um the the disrepair of the road could certainly uh line up with um suckling here um as for the rest over here i do actually just want to see if there's any oscars because you know could that would actually make for a crazy crazy guess but i don't think we're going to be able to find it and of course you do actually get some of those um illegally imported cars over this side as well on um um kamchat kamchatsuki um peninsula over here but the the uh soil tends to be a bit darker over there in my experience so i'm thinking just of suckling here and maybe about halfway up the island um that's the petrol station it's very interesting these blue buildings so so interesting but yeah that's going to be the main clue here i think so yeah i'm just going to go somewhere over here i actually wouldn't mind finding a petrol station at least to go off of here um that one doesn't seem to be it just i just want any petrol station you know um because you don't want to waste you don't want to waste the opportunity for a good guess here so let's go right here um i don't think we're going to be right there but it's possible

Context: evening


a thousand points only so quite likely that you may have been able to get a higher score than me there but that's just how geogaster goes sometimes huh okay so here is the next round this one is definitely looking interesting one thing that i'm noticing off the bat is there there are quite a few trees here i mean there's a few here but we can see this massive uh like expanse out here that has hardly any trees on it so i dare say that will be a clue um these arrows are pointing so that the car will drive up this way and they'll wait here so that appears to be a right-hand drive so that would definitely check out with what it looks like so far these crossings are interesting the fact that they're using um a yellow and blue kind of like swedish colors but i don't think sweden you would get this mountainous so at the moment what are you guys thinking i think because of this little accent over the year and just because of the general lack of trees that this is most likely to be somewhere in iceland so let's zoom in on some of these number plates and see if they have a blue strip because in iceland you're lacking the blue strip so this one appears to be missing it this one the sun has kind of washed it out so we couldn't really draw any good clues from it um and this one's a bit too far away as well also the single story houses whatever reason i do think they are more common in iceland also we have an a and an e stuck together here so we know it's not um sweden because they would use the umlaut instead and there's a church over there as well it's interesting not really a massive clue but it's just nice placement and look at those mountains so beautiful um so this will be another time to use the compass we can see that we've got a big bay to our south um and so i'm definitely thinking of this kind of area here although we have to be close to the mountains so what is this i think this might actually have a good shot of working so to our north we can see big mountains um so maybe even someone over here um i actually think this is not quite uh working out as a proper location unless we were like yeah hmm not entirely convinced not entirely convinced that we're right there so maybe somewhere over here instead i don't know you can really take a long time um iceland is a great country because you can really get those 5ks using the geography um but yeah essentially we've got like a fjord going along here and it kind of runs along a decent way so i don't know it's so doable but i also can't really be bothered so we're just going to go somewhere in here i think um this one doesn't really work we're just looking for something with the mountains to the north oh this one could work i don't want this um no it really doesn't unfortunately we have to have like a fjord um to our south so i don't know i don't know i just want something that vaguely works let's go for this one here this one at least somewhat has a chance of being correct and let's see okay so it was actually over the other side of the country and unfortunately if we could see a little bit further out here we would have gone a much better

Context: evening


score but that is four thousand points so i'm sure some of you actually got a guest on the right side there my brain wasn't quite working at full capacity unfortunately that's okay so the next one uh we appear to be in generation two camera so one of the older camera generations and if you tuned in for the first two episodes of the series you remember i said the older camera generations tend to be in more wealthy countries the countries that got first priority when it came to street view um anyhow we have a straight edged o on the 30 zone here so that is definitely going to be interesting and definitely definitely a clue um pill knits is one of the towns here with this yellow sign are the plates do they have blue strips on them this one does certainly this one appears to as well so i have some thoughts here just i want to see here this says kunst um so that would be german for art potentially we could be in a german speaking country here this one says swiss collection or something like that so that is also curious so we've got a number of clues here we can probably just do this um based on the um language i think photo studio so i think i think or start dutch um yeah i'm actually not entirely sure it says stutton fart or something i don't know it's gonna be some tour bus and they appear to be speaking german here so these straight sided o's i think you often see them in austria i just can't remember at the moment whether we'd have this kind of sign in austria or not so let's get into the map here um can we find pill nits uh which is the name of this town apparently um i would like to be able to find that before i guess here um so pierna it could also be in switzerland now that i think of it in the german speaking side of it so i'm just trying to think this one is actually giving me a little bit of trouble i have to say the blue strips on the plates really mean that we're in austria but yeah not sure why are we speaking german could it be in belgium too now we'd see a bit of red on the normal place then obviously is a bit hilly so i think this is in austria i just don't think austria has that much gen too so yeah i just don't no it's not lints well uh my patience is starting to run thin so i think i will just go for i guess here somewhere over in lintz and uh we'll find out if we are incorrect or not and this one was in germany so i don't know why that gave me such a austria vibe um but yeah it was generation two i don't think they have any in uh in austria so that might have been a bit of a walking mistake there i don't know anyhow uh this was i guess it just like the the language part of it sounded a bit austrian i don't know why i just went for austria

Context: evening


not a good guess there um but uh yeah i guess it was the hilliness as well that threw me off on the uh long side of the o but uh anyhow we are on to the next round here and uh this one is very dry super dry and we have like some eucalyptus type trees here so often when i'm seeing that with dry mountains i'm thinking of peru area in fact i do think like brew is definitely the main contender here without seeing the google car if we could see the guru car here if you were playing it you would see either a black or a white car i assume um other possibilities it's got to be something in the andes so i i guess like argentina and bolivia are also possible here it would be a very strange uh chili if we were there but i guess that is also possible this is enough light water definitely reminds me of peru as well so if i was saying peru i would say somewhere around where i put my marker here obviously we are following a river along a mountain range so something like this is well possible the mountains are pretty tall but maybe not as tall as what i've clicked in here so something more like this may be possible um yeah you do like to find one that is at least somewhat fitting so that could certainly work and yeah very dry so don't don't don't be confused um peru does get certainly dry on on this side of the again of this side of the andes so let's click and guess and a little bit further south here right basically right on the center of peru so 3770

Context: evening


and this one was a bit of a disaster we had the bad russia and we had i mean this one i didn't lose many points but i'm this is one of the worst guesses on the teaching series so far i think in fact probably the worst anyhow it is what it is um and uh i say we get back into another yeah so definitely going well i might leave it at four today i think we'll make this one the last one i'm starting to get a little bit uh mentally picked i think i mean that austria guess not so good okay so this is the next one we have white outside lines oh we have a blue barn a lot of things painted blue here that certainly acts as a clue for me i think um and actually you can see just on the edge of the nocar script they're here that we have a wide blur and that is often indicative of japan and sometimes taiwan and always switzerland so always japan and switzerland have um lokam and we have another one these squarish cars here so i'm thinking japan here also these because they have like quite tight roads in japan that often have these kind of orange mirrors you see a lot of them in europe as well but something that japan and taiwan particularly like to use i think um this one is fairly like poor i would say fairly rural and poor for japan although there are still some nice houses around uh so the question is where to go where to go um i can see it actually being further south here i'm not really sure why i think that when it comes to japan you have to play quite a lot and get a bit of a hunch for it um but we don't see the same pines that we did last time when it was a bit further north in fact we even see a um we even see a palm here so yeah that is why i think i really have to go somewhere on this island here and whereabouts i might go on issa yeah so let's see let's see if i'm right about that this one was actually in tokyo so i feel a little unlucky because of that palm tree but of course this is

Context: evening


still tropical enough to be growing that kind of plant so it makes sense and uh yeah i'm starting to play as well as it was at start of the video i think anyhow this one is a right hand drive we have yellow outside lines unless the road lines as i like to say are probably the most important thing to check straight off the bat when you get into a round and the yellow outside lands something you see in south africa and the middle east and obviously this one not really so middle um south african looking not to mention the fact that we'd be driving left hand side of the road not right like this car is and we also have yellow plates and in the middle east with yellow plates we have to be in israel obviously sometimes you'll have like israeli cars driving in the west bank um and it's kind of rare to get gaza strip rams i don't think they have official coverage there um so yeah we should be in israel here and it's fairly dry we have look at all these terrorist farms here it's quite interesting looking uh but yeah i wouldn't be surprised if we were somewhere around nazareth or something like that or that we could be further south as well so let's get around nazareth and see and yeah this

Context: evening


one was actually over in the west bank but a pretty close guess so 52 kilometers obviously a tiny country makes things nice and easy for us so estrada so this one is definitely appearing italian with this di off the bat that is that's something that you definitely see in italy in the italian language we're driving right hand side of the road here and you can see as i was mentioning earlier we got that short plate so that one's going to be a big clue here we've got all white road lines and uh yeah i think so you can see on the back plates they're longer with the two blues but can you see how it's a that's a big plate the long plates are much more typical of europe and north america actually uses short plates um but over here this long plate with the two blues is definitely a different length to this short plate on the front so yeah this is definitely italian i think more northern i think more northern here um but i'm not sure how north kind of reminds me a bit of montenegro so it could be here but i'm thinking more around bologna um yeah the the the climate kind of reminds me of croatia a bit as well actually so i'm actually happy with that guess let's uh let's see how we go and uh yeah that is actually pretty good

Context: evening


near san marino so that's right actually about exactly the same latitude as croatia here glad i didn't go near montenegro and we end up that's that's a very respectable score i'll stay say so here is the penultimate round of the video and we have a blue and yellow flag here so perhaps letting us know that this might be sweden taking a look around um we have a sign here that says gatan and yes gathan means road in or something like that street in swedish so we should be in sweden here also um this like kind of red house is very scandinavian so if we didn't have the clues to get sweden here these kind of red this is like this is actually a brick house but this like red painted house over here is very very scandinavian looking oh this one feels fairly northern to me although i have been known to be quite wrong about those kind of things in the past or one other clue we've got over here is that these signs are filled in yellow and yes that is definitely a swedish thing to do also finnish also polish north macedonia greece a bunch of countries fill in their speed and give way signs in yellow but yeah that's certainly something they do a lot in sweden also this car and this car from i can tell these two cars these both hatchbacks are volvos and volvo's also manufactured in um sweden as well this is a volvo here as well so definitely they're driving a lot of their national car here so yeah this is beyond reasonable doubt in sweden and uh i don't know i'm feeling i'm feeling more north than stockholm but we'll find out this could even be even further north to be honest we'll see
