You're gonna use that to pinpoint the road from there.Īnd have a lot easier numbering than others.įor example, Denmark is very easy to pinpoint,īecause every road in Denmark is labeled everywhere. If there's obviously a town name or a street name Obviously, using signage is super helpful. With this angle, with a curve going west. So I need to find something that lines up with north, So you can get the exact angle that the road is, The first thing always when you're pinpointingĪnd see what direction the road is going. So when you're pinpointing, you're looking at things. We have light gray soil, very arid climate. Is you're looking at the color of the soilĪnd overall the vegetation that's within the soilīut some things just look like South Chile soil. Soil guessing really goes into every single guess. So you could tell you're in South Kyrgyzstan versus North. So you would learn what percentage of the road So the reflection of the camera on the rear mirror Mexico has short colorful plates,Īnd then there's Brazil that only has long plates. Even the length of a license plate is a clue. If it's yellow, just back it's gonna be the UK, When it's a very distinct color like yellow, So you have to learn what blurred license plates look like. It's worth mentioning all license plates are blurred, License plates are extremely helpful as well. Or New Zealand has white with the red strip Or Australia and Turkey have similar bollards Well, Alberta has black, white, black, white bollards. You know you're gonna be in that country. Or a blue sticker is in France on their telephone poles.Īnd ladder poles are in Spain, Portugal, France.Īnd what different material each country usesīollards are pretty much just road markingsĮvery country, for the most part, has a distinct bollard. With looking very tropical, it's gonna be mainland Malaysia. So if I see a concrete pole, I know I'm gonna be Victoria. There's a-frame poles, there's hook poles.ĩ5% of the poles that are concrete in Australia There's ladder poles, there's holey poles, Or different types of markings on the poles,īecause all these different things togetherĪre very helpful in going into an educated guess. You're looking at what it's made of, the design, There is a couple things that we're looking for Learning what's at the road countries drive on The first thing I always tell people to learn So all these are going into a calculated guess Like what year was this country covered in? What the road is made out of, what concrete, Road line recognition, vegetation, how tropical it looks, I like to call these guesses vibe guesses If I could see the crop here it would maybe be more helpful.īut I do think with the white painted pole bottoms We have short plates, we have white on the bottom. Immediately we're gonna be in Latin America. In the past 13 months to Google Maps and learning countries. Honestly, I dedicated any ounce of free time There is an eastern road in North Macedonia Those are distinct to Tasmania in Australia. Wired talked to GeoGuessr, Trevor Rainbolt.
