SPOILER: Final season standings: 1) jason543 - 255 pts 2) Ruari - 253 pts 3) boulgour - 249 pts 4) Math56 - 248 pts 5) morica - 247 pts 6) GooseMcGoose - 242 pts 7) Feneb - 231 pts 8) Jake Lyons - 226 pts So in the end, I finish last once again, despite having the 2nd-highest total score. The scores were very close overall, so just a few better rounds would have put me close to the top, but that's how it goes - my moving performances were rough and it definitely cost me. Oh well - on to next season!
Regarding eThekwini: That's one of eight metropolitan municipalities that can be see on quite a few signs. Worth learning the few where the name is not the name of the big city in it. I looked this up when exactly the same happened to me as you with Ekurhuleni. Here's the full list: City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality, Gauteng, Seat: Johannesburg City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality, Western Cape, Seat: Cape Town eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality, KwaZulu-Natal, Seat: Durban City of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, Gauteng, Seat: kwaDukathole/Germiston City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality, Gauteng, Seat: Pretoria Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality, Eastern Cape, Seat: Gqeberha/Port Elizabeth Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality, Eastern Cape, Seat: East London Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality, Free State, Seat: Bloemfontein (not sure what the Ethekwini was that you saw on the map)
159甲 is not really a "character road". District roads have a character in front of the number. e.g. The 花37 (Hua 37) is district road 37 in Hualien. But the 甲乙丙丁 characters that come after road numbers are just for counting branches. 159甲 is basically the 159A which branches off the 159 county road (and even though they're called county roads these numbers are unique across the entire country and appear two zoom levels further out than the district roads). Also eThekwini municipality includes all of Durban + its suburbs. And in general South African municipalities are like kabupaten--9/10 times they won't appear on the map and you just have to know them.
From wiki: The eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality is a metropolitan municipality, created in 2000, that includes the city of Durban and surrounding towns. That explains it I guess. Does not make the round much easier though :D
Move the camera view with your face from the upper left corner - to the lower left corner - where the game icons, controllers and buttons are. Now your camera constantly blocks the view of, for example, signs when you open the map in a larger size to look for something. Then we can't see what you're looking for - you cover these road signs with your camera - you can move it down - then it won't cover anything and won't disturb anyone... THANKS! :)
I'm so confused about that Kaysersberg round. You saw it on the sign and then circled around it like 5 times and then the attentional tunneling struck again. For entertainment's sake only I hope you never get over the attentional tunneling :D

I cannot believe I witnessed the luckiest 5K in the history of Geoguessr. A zoomed-out 5K like none other. Great job bro
5:07 We've been watching you for years Jake, none of us are surprised by your impossible 5ks
1:19:48 I've been on that road irl and I still wouldn't have clicked Ontario ngl 😬
Lmaoooo that 5K tho!!! 😎
"Who learns canton flags??"
Me, who loves Switzerland: 🙃
But also love that you went Luzern anyway.
Just when you think that Israel loc and indonesia plonk was insane, now this. You always surprise us with this kind of stuff
Israel, you mean the round in Lod near Ramla, where Jake space-plonked 5K?
@michaelwisniewski6047 Yes , i think it is in the reels too

You’re the king of insane 5ks 😮🎉
1:24:15 Did jake or anyone else realise that he would have 5kd this had he not changed his loc? Would have been an another insane plonk
Yes, would have just been 2.2 km away. The thing is that the curve looks quite big in Streetview but tiny on the map so really hard to confirm this.
