ITT: We play geoguessr and prove ourselves worthy of pretending to know anything about the world. You're placed in a random location on google maps (obviously only the areas that google has mapped) and you gotta guess where you are.

No dirty fucking cheaty cheats

on it

lmao

pretty good m8, you travel much?

No. Haven't been farther than Latvia in, what, like 6 years?

this shit is retarded it put me in a hotel room with no windows that could be anywhere

I used to play this when I was bored. I got so good at it I can almost instantly tell where I am.
My best pick was within 7 miles without cheating. The only time it's difficult is when it's Australia/south africa/Midwest because they almost look identical.

yeah man it does that sometimes

same mate, life's shit when you have no ambition

>plebs who dont use geoguessr retro

kek

Nah it's just that my parents didn't have the money to travel much after the 2008 recession.

what's better about geoguessr retro?

Apparently Arizonas generic landscape resembles Spain


Generic landscape roads with nothing on them can be confusing as fuck too unless you are a flora expert
You can pretty much guess only the latitude

everything

dayum

I did okay, turns out that there's a town called Manitoba in Poland

concise answer, I learnt a lot

pretty fun desu

There was a Kazakh bus in the french one that threw me off

...

>tfw you mistake slav slums for african ones

huh, I didn't think that much of Kazakhstan would be mapped

I clicked on the city with the same name as the bus, i was a little far off to say the least

Where on the maps is Ayylmaoland?

Turns out this wasnt the Georgian alphabet

anywhere in greece

Thats Ge'ez, used in Ethiopia

looks like you got pretty lucky with Brazil

nice digits denbt payer

>Which city is this shithole slum in: the game

I landed on top of a sign pointing towards Rio de Janeiro

>which russian city is this shithole slum in: the game

Its more "guess where this pine forest is" most of the time

>first picture
>location is INSIDE a mall
>it's a hardware store, LOTS of toilets and bidets on display
>lots of brown people, they almost look.... indian?
>not possible, click near singapore/malaysia


>it was India

should have taken a screenshot

good job geoguessr, made me laugh

>left driving highway
>grim weather
>generic landscape
>one motorbike advertising billboard in english

It was Malaysia
Why the fuck dot hey have english billboards in Malaysia

Probably because there are like 2000 local languages in Malaysia or something.

Seriously

I'm getting quite good at it.

Aaannnnd, im done.

Globalists, we out here

I'd wager somewhere around the Northern England area.

Nice
Did you guess landscapes or got lucky with residential areas?

Is water that green in England?

Michigan coast guard.

Got lucky with one in Peru literally having a signpost as to where it was. The rest was just guessing the landscapes.

The one in southeast Asia was on a car ferry filled with moonrunes and chink poo in loos so it wasn't too hard.

where was this??

I'm surprised by how much of the world looks like Midwestern Pennsylvania
Also Switzerland looks really nice and comfy

this game makes you realise how samey a lot of the world looks- south africa/lower south america/ south aus look identical

>Really shitty barn
>Oh shit it's deffo Lithuania
>It's Latvia

>see AibÄ— on a window on several other tries
>Oh shit it's deffo Lithuania
>It's Latvia

Fucking triggered.

bretty gud

I got everything relatively right but the last. No idea what south africa looks like, thought it was Montana lol

protip: if you ever see a web address, you're golden

I don't know much, but I do know that fucking emerald island when I see it.

Knew I should have gone a bit further south. Oh well.

woops didnt cap map

...

unless its russia

fuck russia

nice one man 1500+ is a top tier score, though looks like you got it easy with your home country.

My best was about a yard or so.

I got dropped in the University of Houston (Ameican)football stadium.

If you see unnecessary umlauts over Os, then you know you're in Norway or Sweden.

how does one "cheat" at this game?

It's okay, at least you have lit-huania

use google

why play tho

america's not THAT easy - everything looks the damn same and tons of places have the same name

like the southeastern one said smyrna, which i've been to outside atlanta, but apparently there's a smyrna Louisiana too

Oh, apparently I finished.

Yeah, two in Sweden and one in Ireland probably made my result artificially high.

The one I was most thrown off by was, amusingly, America. In my defense the town had something called "Panhandle" something or other, so I think I can be forgiven for thinking Florida.

Oops, forgot pic.

Was it Texas? We have a panhandle too.

No, it was friggin' Wyoming.

>tfw I always mistake Canada for Scandinavia and vice versa

See a sign towards a city you havent heard of
Google it up

norway doesnt have those I think

the O is exclusive to them and denmark though

Way off, but still 4.3 k points. feels good man

bretty good desu, got lucky on that American one

tfw don't live here

the slashed O I mean

phone didnt let me post it

is it legal if you use the map that geoguessr provides?

>tfw you guessed Poland perfectly and you were debating that or the midwest

its the sea mate. easy.

5278 points good or bad?

>not playing streetcrowd

p l e b s

This is one of the only games i'm actually good at

No but good luck locating a village with a spanish name

pretty good

some tips:

if shadows point north you're in the northern hemisphere and vice versa

yellow road lines means america

also check this en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coverage_of_Google_Street_View

TFW you see your home from this game

I actually did
first game I spawned in a very tropical looking Mexico (spotted Mexican flag) and looked around the southern end after finding a billboard describing a public works project, named the area and town and everything

>Get Greek island, French farms
>Clear 9k points with two guesses
>Rest are latino american shitholes and fucking Russia
>end up with 10k

JUST

First roll. Pretty strange.

...

imagine the sunrise tho

Not bad

dogger :(

damn Sweden

...uhhhh

All countries were correct

ayy lmao

kek

weird, what place is this

>not adding embarrassing tabs in the background
user...

not bad

poo in wall

also sent me to some temple up a mountain srilanka wtf

This is hard, it just puts you on an empty road in the forest every time
