Geoguessr Tips: Guide to European Utility Poles

In this video, I'm going to be showing and explaining all the most common electricity poles in each European country. This kind of knowledge is essential for good scores on no-moving Geoguessr games. This particular tutorial is aimed at intermediate players, but new players and experienced players alike will benefit from it. Enjoy the video, and be sure to post any disagreements/additions in the comments!

Bro! thank you for spending the time to make this. This gonna help a ton.

Good job!
Some notes from Italy:
In Italy we have a sorto of "segregation of materials": telephone poles are made of wood (the oldest) or fiberglass (the newest); electricity poles are made out of metal or concrete.

About electricity poles:
-High voltage poles are usually metal-mesh type; tubular metal high voltage poles could also be seldomly encountered; concrete high-voltage poles are only present on very old lines.
-Medium voltage poles are usually made out of concrete, but newer one are metal-tubular type; metal-mesh are also present on some old lines or where the pole needs to be higher than normal.
-Low voltage poles are usually concrete made, but newer ones are usually metal-tubular; I can't exclude some old wooden low-voltage poles are still used.


Why does italian cities have so few poles?
-Back in the day, companies prefer to make the wires directly runs on the walls of the buildings.
-Nowadays, municipalities tend to require underground lines (and to convert old lines to undergorund, when possible).

Seeing an abundance of tabs at the top is a throwback to the Australian tips days, love a good tips video

[tomassousa]

This helps a Tysm excelent video. Could you do other videos on like bollards plates and other stuff too?

[HarrierGeoGuessr]

Awesome effort, and great video! I have never been that great with poles, and these tips are incredibly useful for the harder rounds. Thank you for making this :)

[realhawaiio]

lol, I was watching the video and when it gets to my country of Portugal I'm quite sure I know where this is. This should be around Castelo de Paiva or Arouca 😅

"This is both a holy pole and a section pole, which is pretty cool!.. at least to geoguessr player"
Lmao that cracked me up
I'm never touching grass

[samalass]

Man just forgot to acknowledge Iceland, my country, as one of the Nordic countries that exist. Happens in about 50% of all Europe maps (Where they don't even bother to draw in the island).

[BrectifyandCraig]

My baltic poles were lacking so hard this vid has saved me

[jockajocka]

I don’t have the brain capacity to be good at GeoGuessr but I play anyway. 😊

[stennostenno]

This is both a holey pole and a sectioned pole which is really cool...
... at least for a geoguessr

[nonly_on_val]

sidenote about romania, coming from a romanian, its very easy to identify in the countryside, using the thick holey poles, the shit ditches as i like to call them (those deep ditches on the side of the road used as sewers, and trees painted white at the bottom
