FBI couldn't resist the serious meta in Åland Islands...
Im not sure what FBI would be doing in the åland islands. CIA would be more likely to be in there, but I bet there does not live that many terrorists in the åland islands.

nice linkin park pfp
You’ve earned my respect.
hope someone realises that there are still a few countries missing
Editor, I appreciate that you included country names in their languages
🫡
I also really liked that they included every language spoken in the country :) (eg German, French and Italian for Switzerland)
10:25 the plastic things are called cat eyes and are made of reflective material so you can see during low visibility and as far as I’m aware you find them everywhere in the uk.
and us
Great video! We need a europe part 2 for cool areas such as Åland islands, sicily, krete, murmansk, canary islands, faroe islands etc etc )
you really stepped up the editing game, felt so nice to watch keep it up bro
Nice video Oscar. Malta tip: If you are driving on the left side and see a ton of rock walls, you should be in Malta. Monaco tip: If you see tons of houses looking down on a port then you should be in Monaco.
Loved the familiarisation of the country names in their native languages, knowing them is a genuine GeoGuessr tip, too!
4:12 In Bulgaria they have black dots on the road because they lay extra layers of bitumen during the winter for better grip in the snow, this does make for pretty bad roads in the summer though
I've played GeoGuessr for a bit now, and I usually describe you and Rainbolt as my coaches bc you've taught me so much about the game. Thank You.
This is great, please more like this! Keep up the great work!
Netherlands has very similar ditches as Belgium but the use is very different. In belgium those ditches are for diverting rainwater and Netherlands uncommonly uses ditches (very thin darkred bricks) to spush cars to the centre to give pedestrians some space. You usually only see it in the middle of cities and villages along parked cars and its uncommon because usually there is a bikepath along a road.
The UK unique roadmarking you pointed out are cool af btw, if a car drives over it the reflector inside gets pushed down and cleans itself with collected rainwater.
Fun fact: the things between the white lines in the UK are called cat's eyes or reflective studs. They reflect headlights in order to better mark the lane boundary at night.
8:57 also the paint on trees that style go for it its pretty much always consistent
The red roads in Sweden are mostly used in the north, abit north of Stockholm and up. I lived my whole life in 3 different cities of southern Sweden and have never seen them down south. Last year I went north and I really noticed that some roads were red. Same thing when I visited Åland couple of yaers back. There almost every road was red
As a short-period ggsr Player, I know some meta:
Norway - business cars have green licence plates, there are long dash boards at the edges of the road.
Denmark - business cars have yellow l.p.'s, traffic signs are mostly installed at overbuilt poles,
UK - yellow rear l.p.'s, in Wales and Scotland (not sure of that) is possible to find bilingual traffic signs,
West Russia - black-painted traffic sign poles at the bottom (just at provincial roads, that also occures in east), cars have steering wheel at left,
East Russia - most cars have right-sided steering wheel, as they're imported from Japan,
Netherlands - yellow l.p.'s (that also occurs in Luxembourg, but in Nl you never see French language, just Dutch.
3:06 I have actually seen holes going all the way to the bottom in Poland but its really rare
Tip for monaco, go to monaco in street view, and you'll never forget how it looks.
brb starting a band called holey poles
Holy poles 😇
As a russian I can suggest some ideas about tips for the Eastern Europe that I always use:
1) Russia- these long trees can be also found nearby Saints Petersburg and further north so the safest guess would be the middle between Spb and Moscow
2) Ukraine- eastern part of the country mostly speaks Russian and western part mostly speaks Ukrainian. So if you see letter 'i' in the texts then it's west and if you don't that must be east
3) Only in Serbia you can see the word "шкода" on the roads
4) In Bulgaria you can see a lot of "ъ" in the middle of the words and as for me it's the best way to define this country. Also these black dots on the roads from the video are usually seen in Russia
5) Only in Chechia you can see a word "Pozor" on the signs and on the roads
6) Romania has a tone of gypsies (romas) mostly in the eastern region nearby Moldova
7) Lithunia strongly looks like Russia in rural areas but has latin letters
8) Estonia quite often has a dashed roadlines exactly like Sweden but the climate is more Baltics
9) Latvia looks basically like an average of Lith and Est in everything
These pieces of advice about the languages are a complete guide to cyrillic that is needed to define those countries
how am i supposed to recognize a gypsie
I have a suggestion for Italy Austria Belgium the Netherlands and Luxembourg For Italy the number plates have two blue strips on each side, Belgium and Austria both have red plates with one blue strip and the Netherlands and Luxembourg both have orange numbers plates with one blue strip
Actually I've had a round once in Poland that the holes in one of the poles went all the way to the ground. There were like 4 or 5 more poles visible which the holes stopped before reaching the ground, but there was that one pole that was the exception. I would say though that the holes in the polish poles are always more narrow in comparison to the holes in other countries like Hungary or Romania
In my experience, here in Croatia putting insulation and coloring on a house is very expensive, so people often run out of money before they can or wish to pay for it. For example, my house (around 220 m²) took around a 70000€ loan to complete arouns 15 years ago (but it would require another loan of around 35000€ just for the fasade and insulation, so it isn't worth it to lower our hesting bill by a 50€), I find that people here would rather have a bigger house than a better looking one, I guess it's just what people prefer here... but, people have started doing it more and more lately. Also, in the 2011 coverage which is as of this year quite rare, you can almost never see blue strips on plates because Croatia had not yet joined the EU by that time (only in 2013 when it joined were the blue plates introduced, also cars registered before than can and do still use old fully white plates and can do so indefinitely until they wish to change the plate / re-register the car) so the cars with blue strips must have been foreign (naturally more common on highways, but I think they all have new 2018/2021 coverage by now, not sure though)
3:06 Actually holy poles with the holes going all the way to the bottom exist in Poland, but of course are pretty rare
Great video! Also in Hungary the signs are almost always bolted with 4 bolts in a rectangular shape
8:50 another thing i’ve found with the avenues of luxembourg trees is that their often painted white at the bottom. it’s not exclusive to lux, but going lux is a safe bet for sure
This is great, thanks! I'd love an Australia/NZ/Tasmania one of these.
Thanks i needed this
So far the coverage in Faroe islands i’ve seen has a roof rack - and looks very similar to Iceland
Missed Jersey and Isle of Man though, im sure those are easier to recognize for more seasoned players though not for me. Would appreciate any tips on those countries!
This is helpful I never really knew how to recognise eastern europe
10:20 The "little plastic things" are called catseyes, they reflect light and are self cleaning when cars drive over them.
lets go cool edititng style and i am going to make meta vids shwoing every meta to rank up in duels, thought would be really helpful, great tips mate
Best tip for Malta is that they drive left and have brick walls on the sides of roads quite often.
We have things between the roadlines in Portugal too! Though the look more like a big glass pill
Me: Finally Malta And Monaco Gone For The Tips
Malta And Monaco: YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO CUT ME OFF ZIGGY
this is very helpful, thank you for your service king
Thanks zi8gzag for this information!
This tip video is one of the best tip videos ever.
Good video!👍🏻
so useful thanks
0:50 within sweden, red roads are most common in dalarna county, just like the loc you showed
i meant to mention that, yeah
correct me if i'm wrong, but for malta you can see a mix of european plates and plates that are US style. Monaco is pretty easy since you'll usually be in the port or able to see it pretty easily
I would love some tips on the countries that islands attached with them etc. Like Estonia, Portugal etc. Would be very helpful in my opinion!
portugal islands look very different from the mainland, a little studying and you can easily distinct it
More of these please 👌
1:17 LMFAO
in Bulgaria the oil that falls from the cars, because most of them are unmaintained
To add to the Dutch tips, the architecture is very distinctive, probably more so than any other country. I'm just not sure how to describe it other than typically Dutch.
Interesting! I'm Dutch, so I usually have no trouble recognizing it, but there are definitely locations in Denmark that feel very Dutch, while the southern Netherlands can look more Belgian
I live in The Netherlands too and here are my insider tips:
1) Many-many houses are made of dark brownish-red bricks that are quite narrow compared to the British ones.
2) Floor extensions: people often extend their terraced houses with an extra floor on top. These are often of a different, lightweight material and of a different colour than the house itself.
3) Traffic light poles at intersections often have black and white stripes. The lamp part is elongated oval shaped with a white outline (similar to what you would see in Z.A. or some states of Australia).
4) Bikes.
5) More bikes.
I neverreally can tell why it's Monaco, but if it's a port/harbour in the Mountains facing south its mostly Monaco
I'm from Luxemburg and reconized that road immediatly drive on it weekly lol
Top tier content
Malta: drives left, looks like Italy
Monaco: looks like monaco
rip malta and monaco. But seriously, great to see tip videos again.
4:33 wow i know that road,its 10-15 min driving from my home
1:37 like everywhere around the baltics and western russia
You can also recognize Luxembourg by the 3 screws in the reflector in the bollard.
ooo interesting
I just checked this on Street View...and there they were! Meanwhile, Germany has only two bolts on their bollards.
Quite amazing, thank you for the tip!
Faroe Islands tip: If you see a brown/ black Google car with roof racks and a very green and mountainous landscape, you are in the Faroe Islands.

Mate, you left out one of the most characteristic features of the Hungarian road sign. Each sign is attached with four screws in a rectangular shape. Only Hungary does something like this.
Finished the video, forgot everything except the last one which I will forget in 2 minutes
Actually you can get holes all the way to the ground in Poland. Source: I recently went to Poland and specifically looked for holy poles =)
07:55 - you say that the copyright 2023 is good for Germany if you're in an NMPZ round but I'd say only for NMP because without zooming it's really hard to read that watermark!
it can be quite easy on nmpz depending on the lighting
Thank you
Thanks mate I'm getting out of gold with this one!
How dare you forget the hardest country to get in the game, Monaco?
editing 🔥
If you see a desly populated city and have lots of boat coverage youre in monaco
Bless GeoGuessr for allowing us to use the term 'holy poles'
the little plastic things are called cats eyes

Love ur vids zi8gzag! Sending love from israel
6:50 Slovenia isn't even the most densely forested country in Europe
White flower in Austria also😑
Note that the baltic states are also very flat. You could easily mistake Lithuania for the Netherlands if all you see is farmland.
Netherlands is closer leaning to an oceanic trees and the landscape and trees alone are different
You are the GOAT

The FBI cracked me up
⚠NEW WORLD RECORD IN THE MAP "World" (the classic one) INSANE ⚠
Cyprus?
I think Europe is the easiest continent of them all. Almost every country has their own language, so I always look for text signs to determine the country. In places like USA and south America its all just English / Spanish + they are both huge, which makes it harder to get it somewhat right. I have also been to most european countries and know much about the different languages characteristics, which might make me abit biased.
hi big bag!
RIP to Wales and Scotland 💀💀💀
