How to recognise EVERY country on GeoGuessr

I go through every country with official coverage on Google maps that you will find in GeoGuessr and give a couple tips for each. These are the most popular aspects of the country that GeoGuessr players look for. This was the hardest I've worked on any video so far! Hope you enjoy it

My own observations from real life travels:

- If all cars around you are Mercedez, you are in Albania
- If all cars around are pickup trucks, you are in Thailand
- If no cars around you, your in Northern Scandinavia

[bosco]

Incredible effort! I appreciate the fact that you mostly avoided discussing camera and car metas and focused on what you can actually see in these countries. I learned a lot of little things I hadn't considered before.

this clip is ridiculously good and condensed, literally geoguessr teaching speedrun in 20 mins :))

Madagascar was my first gold medal because I had memorized almost every piece of street view, including the cows, avenue of the baobabs, a handful of boats, and the invidividual trekkers in cities such as Morondava. It was a nice flex in multiplayer, but the only location I ever used to see back then was the capital, Antananarivo, and it was always directly outside the Queen's Palace

[burritodog]

probably the best beginner geo vid out there! definitely saving this to watch every once in a while as refresher.

Finland is changing those yellow closing lines on the middle to white, but the footage from Finland is so old that it will still be a valid clue for a long time. The best clues are street signs ending "tie" (road) and "katu" (street) which are the most common words in the end.

Thank you for this! I saw a comment on another of your videos that helped me a lot: For Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (north to south ordered): the kilometer markers are
90 degrees to the road (perpendicular) Estonia, 0 degrees to the road (facing the road) Latvia, and 45 degrees to the road (almost like a "V" shape) Lithuania.

Thus: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are 90, 0, and 45 degrees respectively.

I have literally got it right using only this rule more than once now! 😂

[letthebeatrck]

I watched all of this and immediately went on to get a 10 on a country streak with no moving, this is great stuff!

[jamisonr]

Haven't watched yet, but it's queued for later tonight. I'm holding you responsible if I don't know all countries by the end! :D Congrats on the 1k btw.

ive watched this video and different parts of it a rediculous amount of times but it's help me far too much, thank you very much for this video

[zhappy]

India usually has white plates, only commercial vehicles have yellow plates and electric vehicles have green plates.
(Tip: sometimes trucks have number plate number on side as well which might not be blurred, and the first two letters refers to the state they are from...but trucks can travel long distances so use along with other clues)

[duskden]

Now this is great content. Good stuff buzz 🙂

[Jameswhytho]

My favourite video. I knew 90% of these but they are a great reminder. Your content is class, keep up the great work

[HarrierGeoGuessr]

Very nice vid and awesome effort for putting it all together! A perfect video for many beginners who are looking for quick tips to ID specific countries on the game. Keep up the great content 😁

[nicii]

incredible video! one thing to add though, i’ve lived in austria my whole life (25 years) and have not once seen a license plate with red writing. there are e-cars with green writing on the plates though. only thing i can imagine that red hue you talk about come from could be from the state symbols that are printed on the plate, a bunch of them have red in them, only vienna’s is majorly red though. idk if they would be big enough to leave a red hue though

[Iqaluitio]

Also for Albania, if you look at the sky, if there is a line in the sky, it's either Albania or Montenegro

[elmukaltino]

A slight correction for Ukraine: both Russian, Belarusian and Kyrgyz languages have the letter Ы (yep, that’s a single letter), which latter part may confuse people. In Ukrainian I will never follow Ь, but in Russian it’s only found in Ы. Belarusian will have both I and Ы.
