Your Geoguessr Skills Will Improve By Watching This Video! (PLAY ALONG) 

If this video was a book, it would be unputdownable.

That moment when your like: Hmm, this seems familiar... Hold up, that's got to be my country!

Regarding the Poland vs Finland round: White plates without blue strips would be very unusual in Poland, so it had to be Finland. Even before Poland joined the EU (in 2004), they used blue stripes on the plates with a small Polish flag instead of the EU stars. Even before that Poland actually used black plates with white text (which you still see on some old cars nowadays).

Thanks as always for doing these bro. Always more fun to practice this way than by myself!

Green plate in norway is not a government vehicle.. it’s just a vehicle ment for work. So plumbers, electricians, etc can have vehicles they are only aloud to drive while at work. The annual fee for these vehicles are less than everyday cars

19:55 In norway the green plates are for trucks and other whicles meant to transport stuff, not goverment vehicles. Not sure if its unique for Norway but if i see a green plate on a truck in a place with that kind of vibe its a pretty good clue. The diplomatic/goverment plates in Norway are blue. From wikipedia - (Green reflective plate, black print - For cars, vans, small trucks, etc. taxed and fit to drive on public roads, equipped with only one row of seats (driver included) and with sufficient internal volume to fit a crate 140 cm long by 90 cm wide by 105 cm high. This category is primarily intended for tradesmen, couriers and such, but there is no restriction on who can own or operate such a vehicle. Vehicles with green plates are taxed more lightly than vehicles with white plates.)

That Ç can be spotted in countries that use catalan language like Spain or Andorra. It's also used is France. Great video!

Loving the videos recently mate, keep it up! :)

18:00 I'll add more info about this. French also has that "Ç", but the big tell that it's Turkey besides the flag is the fact that in the same text, the capital "I"s actual have that dot on top, meaning it's got to be Turkish language as it's the only one as far as I know which has those. Add that to the "Ç" and it's 100% got to be.

With Russia round, having bigger stone houses and Northern climate would mean you need to aim closer to St. Petersburg, between it and other big cities you mostly see regular villages with wooden houses, though to be fair near Moscow you could see something similar, climate of some parts of MO pretty much the same, and pines and birches can be found throughout most of European Russia, only in far South and North it changes drastically.

These are the videos that help me the most. Thanks!

Excellent video! Very informative, you explain yourself very well.

Yeah, this is simply lovely, loving it!

Excellent! I find this kind of thought-to-thought instruction the most helpful in chess too.

always great to see another new vid :p

Incredible stuff zig

Good to see ZZ back again!

Love these please make more. also important to note that chevron map is not always 100% accurate but it is generally a good way to help narrow down your guesses.

Hey man just started to watching last few days and started playing geogusser myself for first time and love your videos that Slovakia round what you had in that green board u had also name town but one good hint to Czechia and Slovakia I feel like Czechia have better roads then us Keep making good content 👏

Thanks so much for the great tips!!!

So I actually got my first 4900+ score on geoguesser in the mexico round in game 3 and Im stoked. Looked for pubella and found it. Thank you for the vid you've gained a new sub

I didn't beat you in any games, but my scores were pretty close. That Eswatini round I went in South Africa near Capetown, otherwise I would have beat you and probably had a really good score. Very useful and helpful video.

Aww, hope you get this resolved quickly!

11:10 on the Finland round there are a lot of things pointing to Finland and I'll list them out; When you see S-market/K-market you know you're dealing with Finland, because those stores are found in every single village/town and cities have tens of them. Those unpainted looking brick-walled buildings are very common here because someone apparently thought they look decent (they don't) Those spruce trees are actually not found in Western Poland, only south and the very east of the country, while in Finland they are practically everywhere Those faint green electricity boxes are littered everywhere The asphalt has tons of cracks formed by it freezing in the winter over and over the sign signifying a biking/walking road is blue with a white outline (also Russia/Poland would probably not have as many bike paths)

Sad. Why do good youtubers always get hacked by those crypto scammers

This is so instructive

Its always fun to learn something new and I really like the no car

These challenge and tip vids are my favourite. Got 24k on the last one, you still beat me though.. in 3d at the moment, so i'll take that:)

@18:30 There's also the g with the down facing chevron on top of it. This is very indicative of Turkish (silent g).

4:53 Also the gigantic "BRIDGE" written on the lefthand side of the road 😂

For the Norway example, I can add that the green plates are not for government-cars, but for vans, yeah it's a dead give-away. Also, notice the sound-pattern in the middle of the road. That would specify a couple of countries in Europe, Germany and Norway for example ;) The video was really well made!

Good stuff. The roadlines are still somewhat confusing to me though. Feel like a worldmap with road markers indicated would help me alot (a bit like the chevron sign). You know if this exists ?

Thanks, very helpful

Nice video!

In case nobody pointed it out. If you see a white sign with black border it has the streetname on it. is very typically Belgium. Sometimes you can find older signs on the walls of buildings that are blue with white line and text (like you find in France). But nowadays 90% are white with black lines and text in Belgium. Also in France you can sometimes still see orange licenseplates, but they are dying out and going to white with a blue bar aswell.

Thx I been wanting vids like this cuz I'm soooo average at this game

thanks for this :)

@6:23 Says 'a louer', or 'for rent' in French. It's very useful to know the word for 'sale' and 'rent' in a lot of countries, as these are often used in ads.

13:50 The blue strip is standard for the finnish license plate, but it's fairly common to not have the blue strip. I think this is because 1. The eu plate became standard as late as 2001 and 2. it is somewhat common to get a non eu plate for a newer car, as they are still available and you only need to ask to get one.

Sick video man. Watched the whole thing, and i dont even play ^^

About that Slovakian round... you might have seen lots of pine trees. These trees can be found only in western Slovakia, north from the capital Bratislava

Ç is also used in French, so add France, Belgium, Andorra, Luxembourg and Quebec to that list :P

12:58 made me feel better about myself because I went Poland

At work me and a co-working play duels every lunch (use to play same seed before it came out) and I'm 87 - 73 down 15 points! These are helping me catch up!

Cheers man great video. In round 2 you mentioned that we may be able to see a long or short antenna, for this round what would a long or short antenna indicate in terms of country/region?

Thank god I found your channel

30:00 The direction from the satelite dish tells you that you are on the northern hemisphere. If the satelite dish ist in a more flat angle, you are further away from the equator. In germany we have most time the satelite astra on 19,2 degrees east and hotbird on 13 degrees east. For example in Munich germany you have to put your satelite dish on 170 degrees south on your compass and elevate it to 34 degrees. In Stockholm or Oslo you have to elevate yout satelite dishes to 22 degrees and in Athen you have to elevate it to 45 degrees. In the south hemisphere the direction of satelite dishes is to the north. The most satelites flys over the equator. There are some exeptions. In south hemisphere of Brazil i have seen most satelite dishes in the direction to north east. Near the equator the satelite dishes are really straigt up. But there is a difference in the ange between the round and the parabolic satelite dishes. The parabolic satelite dish is an cut out part on one side of an round satelit dish.

I killed that last game with 22k points thx zigzag

omg I beat you in the first round! (I mean the first playalong link). Im always trying these and I have never ever had a better score than you. But to be honest it was only because I got lucky with Bulgary when you guessed Turkey..

24:10 as a Belgian i knew instantly that this was in Wallonia.

Thanks for help :)

Great video! Thanks so much for the tips! Got 23,355 on the last round very proud of that! Not too far behind! 😅

Hey, a guy from Norway here, just wanted to point out that at 19:55 when you said that green signs are government signs, those are actually company cars, that anyone can get registered as a company car, as long as it ties in with the company.

hi just a note in that belgium round the pole had holes in it, which is rather unique to belgium

OMG ITS BACK

"ç" exist in France as well :) thanks for the tips ! :D

I knew the first country right away after I saw a sim card ad 😂

French also uses the ç. They use it when one of the vowels in the word 'auto' comes right before the letter c. They don't use it when there are 2 c's next to each other.

I just discovered geoguessing. I guess it helps if you're well traveled. I haven't been to that many places but I know if I ever see streets made out of pieces of onyx, it's probably in Mexico, in the state of Puebla. Also, it's the state that had the most spanish influence in Mexico. so churches and architecture is particular and beautiful. I m surprised you didn't know where it was on the map.

another banger

i think its very funny how he looked at the parked car and thinks about how it may have been driven off the road to estimate on what side of the road the traffic is going instead of just looking at the streetsign right by it which is there to tell how traffic should move

In the US and Canada, if it's a 2 way road, then the centerlines are Double Yellow, sometimes 1 striped, sometimes the other, most of the time both are solid. Coming from an American.

I tried to real all of the comments, and since no one is mentioning it here, I thought I would. In the Norwegian round you mention the bollards being unique to Norway, which is definitely not the case actually. They are very common (the exact like) also at least in Finland and Sweden :)

Hi nice crucifix!

24:20 the best country Meta I heard for Belgium came from Proc, another youtuber - it's Belgian gutter spam. Belgian streets and roads tend to have very clear gutters on both sides which are quite visible.

4:47 The writing on the road, and the road signs, are both on the left-hand side. It's clearly a left-hand drive country, no need to look at the van that's pulled over

12:26 that's the time to return back to learn geoguessr from the video later

Green in Norway are not government vehicles, they are cars that could have more seats installed but doesn't.

as a finnish, i can just feel finland, but for me its also easy to guess by blue "people + bicycle" road sign style

I actually prefer utilizing/discussing car meta, but it makes for an enjoyable video either way.

4:30 finland uses yellow Lines

Love it

Old video I know but in case it helps anyone: Turkish is the only language that I know of with the İ (capital i with a dot over it). They also have a lot of ü characters.

I actually managed to get a perfect score on the last Mexico round, still learning though

Your welcome 04:57 Identified locations: New Zealand, Tunisia, Turkey 09:43 Identifying the location of a place based on clues 14:31 Identifying the location of a car using geographical features 19:00 Driving in a hilly, cold climate with unique bollards and green government plates. 23:24 The location is likely in Slovakia or Czechia 27:52 Successful guesses made based on architecture and geographical clues. 32:28 Identified Slovakia and Mexico 37:22 Identifying location in South Africa-Swatini border

13:00 you can also tell that's finland by the way that it is.

1. 17,628 - 1:57 i've literally been in this place since i live in St. Petersburg 2. 14,400 3. 21,273

This is a school I actually want to attend

POG

At least his videos didn’t get deleted

6:37 i thought it was santorini at first haha

AYY he’s back, this is why I hate crypto smh

Round 1 - 20385 I guessed southern romania on that last one, still wrong country, but I beat him! Round 2 - 13622 not my proudest showing... norway with their misleading yellow lines! Round 3 - 20242 lil more respectable! Czechia my one bad guess, went baltics for some reason

Zigzag, did your channel get hacked in that live stream or was that planned?

Hey, Albania also uses ç

I spent way too long trying to pinpoint the first round of the second game because i know i've driven past there before... Still couldn't find it xD

Second day of play and (without watching the video) the first one I got 10546points, the second one I got 12325 is that considered average? (Will update the other one later) 6th grade, no prior knowledge

14:10 I was thinking the same thing, I had this map before...I believe it was Turkey? We will see :D. *edit* nevermind, but sort of close...I suppose :D.

ooo what do you use to record your videos?

25:20 So far I have only seen the small black sign behind the bollard in Czechia and not in Slovakia. Can someone confirm this and explain what the sign means? zi8gzag, thank you very much for your well explained content. Although I now quickly recognize most countries in Geoguessr, I've learned a lot from you again.

I know you play without moving but perhaps in these educational videos it wouldn't hurt to click down the road a bit in order to come across more tips to share.

les go bc im bad

Roads made of concrete as opposed to what?

the Ç is only used in Turkey and North Macedonia I believe.

Romania doesn't have line under C only under S and T and above A

What mode is this he is playing?

No car meta? That's the only way I know anything in Africa lol

Portuguese have the ç, but is pretty rare

How thats happend thats Philipines drives on the right????

Romania doesnt have ç, it only has ș and ț (that c with cedilla is common in Turkish, Portuguese, and French) The ș and ț in Romanian don't have a cedilla under, they are a comma (trust me i am Romanian)😊
