- Cheating to get yourself a perfect score on Geoguessr, Something every Geoguessr player has thought about doing from the start but probably never done. This was my absolute first time using external help. What a thrilling mess it turned out to be.

Hi Tom Davies
You can use google translate
*can't remember TWP or Drum*
*recognizes Romania by a horse*
Drum means road. Va dorim drum bun is We wish you a good journey
Y3llLoUd wouldnt that be "we wish you a good road"?
@@supercool1312 No, drum means road, but u dont use its actual meaning, its more like "We wish you a safe trip/journey"
yeah, on its own it means road, but if its beside certain other words then its meaning switches
drum also means path or journey, but the main use is for way, street, road
New Video title: Poor man doesn't realize he can use Google translate for thirty minutes
I sometimes use it in South America to know if it is Spanish or Portugese
@@zaitsevvadym Man of all the things to use it for ... Spanish and Portuguese are super easy to tell apart if you take a sec to learn the differences.
@@zaitsevvadym tbh differentiating spanish and Portuguese is pretty easy
@@skydragon5555 At least for me not always, I'm in spanish 4 and can hold up a decent conversation with a spanish speaking person but if the sign is just a few words sometimes I can't tell if its portuguese or just a word I don't know yet
@@noahgodard3338 easy to tell apart is arabic x western words
"TWP road"
2 seconds later
"TRP road"
TWP RD = Township Road
That annoyed the shit out of me
Desert hair road
I dig it.
When someone cheats while faking not to cheat it's unfair, when someone cheats on purpose and open it's a gamemode.
Yeah on the Geoguessr Subreddit, it's unofficial difficulty level 1

@@dadaniel2k11 Bot that scans comments for "cheating"
Are you a pvpx mod???
Yea you must be hahaha, im a fellow pvp fan pvpxSMILE
I loved this concept but your Google skills infuriate me
thekamotodragon I can accept lack of efficiency usually but in this case I almost snapped my phone from the number of times he'd see something like "Merry Road" then go off and Google "Merry Lane" then wonder why he wasn't finding anything. Even further, he'd read a sign that might say "abc" switch tabs to google, forget the letters and google "xyz" and be like "ah shit well that wasn't much help". Yo maybe it would be if you googled the shit you saw with your eyes
@@LegitimateJuice lol true, but i you gotta remember, his process for beating this game has probably evolved to a point where using google to do it feels like an unnatural addition, and so it's probably and after-thought, making it hard to focus on everything he normally focuses on plus remembering the names exactly in order to copy paste.
Literally so stressed watching this. How can you instantly forget the difference between TWP and TRP or Drum and Dum or Drive and Road?!
This has been a sad day
thanks i hate it I had to stop watching after the TRP thing
Looks like he deleted the reply
“this is monumental, i’m about to do something disgusting”

Va Dorim DUM bun
name: "terra indigena"
you: "something something indigestion"
google, first result: "the waimiri-atroari are an indigenous group..."
you: *goes directly to maps*
this was painful
Gabriel Henschen I literally don’t understand that I looked up terra indigena and the fourth suggestion down was the name below it I’m not typing it out. I click on it it shows me the whole area and I found where he was in 2 seconds. I’m sorry but I don’t see how he didn’t figure out indigenous land
@Gabriel Henschen because even the english language uses the romance words, "indigenous territory". This was indeed painful
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was SCREAMING
What are you doing talking about 'romance'? Are you speaking through google translate?
You should do a game where you stream it and let stream chat tell you where you are.
somebody get this man a nobel prize
i agree
Yes! I would definitely watch a live stream 👍
Agreed!
do this!!!
*Alberta Central Railway Museum*
“I don’t know what to do with this”
*Maskepatoon automotive*
“Oh this helps a lot”
The Romania sign you got stuck on literally just said “we hope you have a good journey” LMAO
holy shit, you not being able to parse 'indigenous land' was so frustrating! lol
At 23:56 I don't speak the language but it looks like
Indigenous tribe land
Please respect the tribe,
No filming or photography.
correct! it says:
"Indigenous land Waimiri Atroari
In respect to the Waimiri Atroari, please do not film or photograph."
Google Maps Car: O B S E R V E.
*No filming or photography*
Google maps car: Im gonna pretend I didnt see that
"No filming or photography"
Google: Well yes, but actually no.
Very ironic isnt it?
Video idea; geogueeser with your monitor off, livestream it and chat had to describe to terrain, buildings etc. Or maybe a friend faces the monitor, you face away, and the friend has to describe it.
Yesss
OMG YES
He actually just did this with Ludwig! Tom couldn't see the screen and just had to guess the place based on Ludwig's description of what he was looking at
@@ArcusLibri I happened to catch this. Don't know who Ludwig is, he's apparently somehow a fairly popular CZcamsr despite the fact that, damm, his vocabulary & communication skills utterly suck.
@@briangonigal3974 he's mainly a twitch streamer haha
So funny at the Romania's names :)) Va dorim drum bun!=We wish you a good journey!
good road*
good my ass
@@iuliancalin22 if you use google translate of course you get "good road" but if you actually speak romanian you dont need a lot of IQ to understand it doesnt mean "good road"
Omg, that was so funny!
honestly ive never seen a westerner recognise eastern european countries with such precision before. bulgarian here!
Or "we wish you safe travels."
You could have been using google translate much more, and that would avoid having situations like the “va dorim drum bun” situation
The Brazil round too
Very true, thanks Steve. My brain just didn't think of a lot of obvious things to do. My knowledge of the dark side can only grow my friend.
@@GeoWizard There's always tomorrow. Part 2 perhaps? 👀
Friday@@nanobotjr
@@GeoWizard Looking forward to it!
The levels of forgetfulness and absentmindedness was so ridiculously egregious that it started to make me wonder if I was the one losing my mind.
Your stubborn refusal to translate literally any word in another language made this much harder than it needed to be and I'm tearing my hair out. Not every sign is a place name, my dude!

The GeoguessrWizard: TWP Road 22
Also The Geoguessr Wizard: TRP Road 22
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
"wizard"
He is just as good at googling stuff as my mother.
"Ponte Sobre" = Bridge Over
"Terra Indigena" = Indigenous Land
Knowing languages can help hahaha but maybe I shouldn't be telling that to the guy that can recognize a placeby looking atthe trees and the position of the sun... I think at that point languages are kinda irrelevant
Ik I'm late but trying to figure out the country from the language is my main strategy in this game so I'm always really confused/impressed when someone can do it without knowing the language
This is literally the only way I've ever played this game. I play it more like geodetective than geoguesser.
Me too
Glad to know I’m not the only one, when I do it I feel guilty because I see people like GeoWizard get near perfect scores without touching google lol
Me too, I just don't see any merit to spending 20 minutes looking for a town or an intersection on the map.
in the past i did but lately i'm starting to play it normally and i must say that when you get it perfectly it's so good
It's a different game altogether. But it's not wrong. A bit like 10 s NMPZ is very different to basic rules game.
Sees a horse; instantly thinks Romania. He’s insane
This a very nice new format.
As for mistakes: at 24:10 you Googled Waimiri-Atroari and it said they are an indigenous group in Brazil and then you wondered what it means.
Also the sign suggested a tribe protection area by saying indigenous, respect ... And no photos
That was so frustrating oh my goddd
@@pavlazelena1929 It was hilarious.
"south of Edmonton, so it's quite north in Canada"
Me, a Canadian: *HA*
Same lol
4999 points challenge?
When you started on the TWP Road route, I thought you were screwed. Township roads and Range roads are what we call basically all back roads in rural Canada and the US. The fact you managed to find the right one so fast is a miracle.
yeah him googling "trp road" was maddening as an American. idk if I would've gotten Alberta without google help but between that and the distinctive yellow curved arrow signs you at least knew it was NA
Definitely need to do more actual googling and not just putting stuff straight into Google maps. Still a very enjoyable series idea though.
9:35 “So we know... that’re we’re roughly... _where the _*_hell_*_ are we”_ 😂🤣💀
“Ponte sobre” means “bridge over” just as an FYI
@@mr_gerber portuguese*
I' m PORCH OF GEESE
yeah, knowing some basic words in a couple of languages helps a lot in Geoguessr.
I know hahaha 🤦♀️
FYI, "Va Dorim Drum Bun!" roughly translates to "We wish you farewell!"
On the Brazilian bit the signs meant: Bridge over Igarapé Ba
Danger! You are entering in the Waimiri (can't remember the other one) indigenous land
The other said pretty much the same, but told people not to photograph in respect to the natives
JVMachado789987 he’s on about romania’s one surely lol
@@gabstownsend I know that, I'm just saying the brazilian one
Oh I thought it be welcome/now entering Drum Bun!
With Drum Bun being a place name.
It means we wish you a good journey
I always cheat and try and get as close as possible because I’m not patient enough to do it legit lmao. It’s really fun if ur in an urban place, makes me feel like a detective or smn.
It's like a scavenger hunt.
Same. I play GeoGuessr because it's fun to see different places -- not because I enjoy inching down country roads for 45 minutes. As long as you're only competing against yourself, who cares if you cheat?
does smn means shake my nuts or something?
Leonid Mamin something lmao
@@leoman77 ahahhahahhah lmao
For rounds like the second one you could easily compare the street-view-images with the geoguessr-image to find the exakt location on the map.
Exact*
Exakt
The way I started laughing when he typed "Va dorim drum bun" into Google maps, knowing that it wasn't a place name lmao
Anyone else romanian here and just laughing at the romanian round. Lmao
No, but I'm from Alberta Canada and was laughing in those rounds. I live within 100 kilometres of the second location.
I’m from Moldova ( country near Romania )
I actually really enjoyed this format. I like watching you play detective. You totally missed the latitude/longitude numbers on the sign in the Amazon though.
The pain of him typing TRP instead of TWP hurt
Now do a comparison run with Bing and Bing maps.
"It is taking me back to where I live", well that was a harsh self-doxx, if I ever saw one
Maybe you could use google translate if you dont understand a specific language on a sign or something.
"Im getting better at this I think"
*googles a word from an idiom in order to find a place*
“Ponte sobre” just means “bridge over” haha
Va dorim = we wish you
Un = a/an
Drum= road
Va dorim un drum bun = we wish you a good trip
We wish you an road.

Brooklyn-Manhattan 2010 you, yeah
I like how he looked up a sign that said "indigenous land please respect it and not take film or pictures" and instead of reading the wiki article on the native group he jumps to maps 🤦♂️
In the last round when he's googling "ponte sobre" and I happen to know it means "bridge over" and I'm just like...
You should do a cheating series
i am with you
I use Google sometimes, but to me that can be part of the game. Investigative.
Alberta isn't useful to Google???
As a Canadian I was shocked to see that R2 was Alberta. Also weird to see how frazzled you were googling and swapping between tabs. He is human after all :')
you're such a dedicated player
you had to convince yourself to cheat on geoguessr lol
"Is sobre the name of the river?"
MFW "sobre" means "over" lol
At the end I was *SCREAMING* at my screen for you to _use the little man_
You may be good at GeoGuessr but your sleuthing skills could use some work to really help you improve your speed.
Lol wow when you googled “twp road 22 Texas”, the first link brought up a main road from my hometown in Monroe Township! Cool to see, enjoying the videos mate
Definitely think this format has potential to be lots of fun.
As a brazilian I am laughing a lot with you trying to know what the sign meant, it said "Bridge over Igarapé Bá" hahahaaha
The other one means "Indigenous land" and Waimiri Atroari is the indigenous people that live there
13:26 Wow! I've been there (in GeoGuessr)! As soon as I saw the junk pile in the desert I knew there was a 90° turn in the road behind the camera view. BTW, I only ever play in 'cheat' mode. I try to get within 10 m every time (the Atacama desert is my nemesis). So, in your previous Alberta Twp Rd 22 round, I'd have been looking at the lorry/tree down the road and then eventually roadside weeds and fenceposts to try and get exactly the original location. I once held a straight piece of plastic up to my monitor between two lake tips to get my final location. I lead a sad life. :-(
Im Portuguese but born and raised in alberta so this video is just insane, wierd to hear you talk about township roads and red deer and onefour. And also struggle with the Portuguese language in Brazil lol.
It's amazing that you are just as bad reaching Google search results as you are reading a map.
I like playing it with google, because I really enjoy tracking down the correct street on google maps. I just love it man.
This is like when you copy an exam from the person who had it wrong, erasing your correct answer
i’ve done this so many times i’m really impressed that you had never done it
24:57 "terra indigena" means "native land" in that language. I know that cause im Italian and Italian is pretty similar. Infact in Italy it is said the same way
You can understand it if you speak English only
The suns position doesnt twll you which hemisphere you are in, only that you are not south/north och the tropics.
I.e. if the sun is in the south you are not below ~23° south
I'm from romania and it was so fun to hear you say romanian words, and btw: va dorim drum bun means we wish you a good road trip or something along those lines
This is great. New format born!
I don't consider it cheating. It's just a different game.
And I actually find the research from scraps of information a lot more entertaining than just clicking forwards and hoping for a sign that clearly states the place's name.
So yeah, I like it!
im excited for this series and i feel like using google will help you improve your non-cheating skills
Me screaming at the screen in Portuguese saying that "ponte sobre Igarape" literally means Bridge above Igarape and "sobre" isn't the name of anything
Hey Tom, this vid is a year old so I don’t know if you’ll see this but here is a very useful Alberta tip. Alberta has 2 types of rural, non-highway road. Township roads and Range roads. Range roads run North to South every 1 mile starting with Rg Rd 11, 1 mile from the eastern border and Rg Rd 12, 2 miles from the eastern border, and so on.
Township roads work the same way but they run East-West and start at the southern Border at Twp Rd 11, 1 mile from the southern border and the same pattern northwards.
On the second guess you were at the intersection of Twp Rd 22 and Rg Rd 61 which means you are 11 miles north and 50 miles west of the south-east corner.
It works everywhere in the province, not all of the Township and Range roads actually exist but if they do they’ll be within a couple hundred meters of the place they’re supposed to be. Occasionally they’ll squiggle a little bit but the roads are built on allotments from when the province was originally subdivided 120 years ago so they’re very close for the most part.
A lot of provinces and states use this system actually (you were encountering the Ohio Twp roads when searching, for instance), so if you’re west of the Appalachians and east of the Rockies there’s a very good chance this pattern holds true.
keep doing this, i enjoy the longer videos from you.
"Va dorim drum bun" is have a nice trip lol
am zis Romania imediat cum s-a afisat imaginea :)))
Iar dorim sigur nu este un loc
use more keyboard shortcuts like ctrl+1 and ctrl+2 to switch between tabs faster, will save you time.
There are tons of township, county, and state road duplicates. In the US there are unique interstate highways (the blue and red signs) and US Highway systems (white and black signs with the route number in a shield). Unless you can identify the state somehow you're spinning your wheels.
22:50 searching the wrong text portion (Terra Indígena means Indigenous land/Indigenous reserve and Ponte Sobre means bridge over something, in this case a river/swamp), it was pretty fun watching this part.
Technically this is now a TAS
Nobody:
GeoguessrWizard: I'm about to cheat on GeoGuessr
>Sign with coordinates on it
>Googles some words from it
Hearing you pronounce Piatra Neamt just made my morning . Thank you good sir
Sobre means above in Portuguese, died of laughter when you said that lol😂
the moment you googled 'va dorim' (which means 'we wish you' in Romanian - i.e. we wish you a pleasant journey) was priceless
The Terra Indigena sign just meant "Indigenous lands"
14:57. I CANT BELIEVE IT. THATS MY HOME TOWN!!
wow the luck of some people. And I can't even get my home town when I play the map that is just my country, and my country's about the size of New Jersey!
As a romanian, the "drum bun" part was really funny. However, good job on guessing the country in 2 seconds, that was impressive.
How you read the words "va dorim drum bun" gave me a good laugh. They mean we wish you a good trip.
When I cheat on geoguessr, I always get a perfect score, but I spend like an hour on each place, although, I like to cheat because I have to investigate and do a lot of research which I find interesting
I fell asleep to this video. Soft voice plus some background noises. Was perfect for me 😂
I hope you're (at least partly) doing this because of my suggestion! :)
I had a good laugh at the Romanian sign with drum bun😂😂
Can't wait for your Walking Across Wales vid next sunday!
Gosh im from alberta and it really is hilarious, that you got it twice in a row I knew it was township road right away and ince i saw that it vlicked that the terrain really did look like the milk river valley kind if area, but i wasn’t sure if township roads were a universal thing but once you got to searching and i saw cardston I thought guess not. Even using the canadian realty website lol its just so wierd.
Day 1 of asking GGW to play a Sporcle quiz about every capital city in the world.
You had less than 100k subscribers last week, now you over 300k+?!?! (congrats!!!) Holy shit!!
Hahah I'm Romanian and I was dying when he said drum bun! It's basically a sign saying we wish you a nice trip.
It's pronounced "vuh door-eem drew-m boon"
As a Canadian, I always hope to get maps of Canada and I never do, I can't believe you got Alberta twice!
Puts a marker on google maps
Tries to make a guess
Ok
As a Romanian, watching him google 'Have a safe trip!' as a place was hilarious
Localitatea Drum Bun, judetul Neamt
As a Romanian, I laughed so hard when he thought Va dorim drum bun was a town... it meant We wish you a good journey
Having lived in Alberta for some time, I laughed so hard when he found out that theres tons of township roads with the nr 22. I’ve even lived on twp rd 22 near Warburg, which is about 1 hour west from Edmonton.
Me personally, I don't find Geoguessr any fun when you're googling. It takes all of the interest out of it for me. But, at the same time, I'll watch anything you upload.
