33:26 Jaipur is actually called the ‘pink city’ because all of the buildings have the slightly pink ish color so as an Indian, I knew the city right away and I might have gotten the 5K probably which is pretty cool! -contrastingly, Jodhpur is called the Blue city because of blue buildings
Zi8gzag: this is almost certainly California Me: so, definitely Golden Gate Bridge then, right? Zi8gzag: proceeds to spend several minutes nowhere near San Francisco

As a German, I immediately realised it was Berlin, but to be fair the Brandenburg Gate and the whole district are modelled after Paris, since the late 18th century/early 19th century Prussian kings were big fans of French culture and felt Berlin had to look more majestic for Prussia to be able to compete with the other big powers and their Viennas, Parises and Londons. On that note, it's also funny that you would mention Bucharest, which of course also took after Paris and is sometimes called "Paris of the East".
As someone who pinpointed the Ratingen Google car location based on the video they initially posted, I recognized it immediately and laughed my a*se off. Impressive that you found that.
I consider myself mediocre at geoguessr, but the Rio de janeiro round HURT right when the picture popped up, i was like RIO the famous dude with his arms out, i think the altitude and the vegetation was, what really made it easy.
just want to tell you how much i love your content! i’ve been watching for a while but went on a HUGE binge last night and i’m jazzed i woke up today to a new vid ❤
16:19 seeing this image was brilliant, i immediately recognised it, having crossed the road in pretty much that exact spot on two different trips to berlin. great memories, thanks for that
one thing that strikes me is how quickly you asses not just cardinal direction but time of day and based on that cardinal direction, just based on sunlight. I feel like this is way underdiscussed in all these types of "thought process" videos
ngl some of the most fun I've had playing this game has been the Famous Places map on No Moving. I've also been trying NMPZ on it as well. I know it's mostly just memorizing the locations but it is still very fun to see all these places I've never seen before.
thanks for including the challenge links! I'm going to give them a shot before I watch the video! I'm curious if they will have any overlap with the Famous Places map
I really really like the ambient music you have going in the background. If you have a playlist you can link, that would be greatly appreciated. Excellent video as always. I found you through your collabs with JackSucksatGeography. Please do more of those if you can. They are so good!
Weird that the Vegas landmark was just 90 degrees off, instead of behind you. Up to that point, you could use the compass to orient yourself relative to the landmark.
I just laughed at the fact that The great mosque of Touba was there. Not necessarily famous at all but such a meme at this point. I weighed between Tunisia and Senegal but i was like eh Senegal hasn't any famous places
Easy - got all of them. Three times 5k, 4,999 Burj Khalifa, 4,984 Mt Fuji. Medium - got four out of five (didn't think about Tuba Mosque and just plonked in Dakar). To be fair, in Bangkok I had a different pano and a Thai flag was visible. Golden Gate Bridge and Cristo Renador I missed the pinpoint slightly and just got 4,999. In Rio, the sun was fairly clearly from the North, and with the car and the speed limit sign I immediately thought Brazil (just the sign back wasn't black really). Hard - got two out of five. Went Granada on Grand Canyon, Kairo on Star Wars Tunisia, knew the Ratingen Rainbolt/Kodiak one, went Taj Mahal on Jaipur and knew I was wrong already (don't know the Jaipur building anyway), got Machu Picchu but took quite long to scan for it even though I knew it was in the Cusco area.
All people have rather similar (similarly bad) peripheral vision - unless someone has an actual defect, like „tubular vision”. Those who can scan well know had bad our peripheral vision is, and purposefully move their point of fixation around the scan area. Those who are bad at it, simply assume that they’ve seen everything on their screen already, while in fact they only saw the centre properly.
The fact that you had the Burj Khalifa on your screen when you were looking, saying “I can’t see it” was soooo painful.
I ripped my testicales straight off in that part of the video
AYYYO@@TomMotTom

@@arneshpal77028:00
'Am I recording?, yes I am' is a good GeoWizard moment there.
i am screaming and kicking at the fact that you didnt see the burj khalifa on the map, what a classic zigzag moment
i can change (clueless)
i have been there.
Touba mosque and Rainbolt+Kodiak chasing Google Car will always be iconic for the Geoguessr community. Loved those additions.
why is the thumbnail trying to rizz me up
Oversaturated rizz
Easter Island man really looking like a fine young lad today
😭😭😭

if you don't like the thumbnail you can click on the video to make it disappear.
what if everyone used 100% of their brain like you
Doesn’t work,they’re still haunting me even after I click
lets goo im glad you got the famous place in ratingen
really funny to think how this random place in a small town in the Ruhrgebiet became legendary. Great locations 👌
"I think it's the Colosseum, should be South east". No sir, you are looking at South East, it's North West. Good to know you are human too haha
god the burj khalifa round was painful
zigzag when it's time to find something on the map 💀
@@zi8gzag 😭to be fair i do remember STRUGGLING to find it on the map in the past so it's very understandable imo
@@zi8gzagNo worries, man. You're not alone. For some reason Burj Khalifa is really difficult to locate if you can't remember exactly where it is.
It's really impressive to have a blind geoguessr pro
Zigzag looking for the burj khalifa is probably the funniest thing
Zi8gzag: this is almost certainly California
Me: so, definitely Golden Gate Bridge then, right?
Zi8gzag: proceeds to spend several minutes nowhere near San Francisco
That one was a big surprise for me.
Yeah, I've been to the golden gate probably 5 or 6 times but never on the low lands on the north shore, it really threw me.
At this point Im just waiting for the thumbnail to slowly develop a demonic smile that gets progressively wider and wider
Yes and the eyes go from blue to red
the thumbnails are scaring me at this point
😭
This is actually the best idea ever, no game mode could appeal to me more
shall i prepare some different rounds for you?
@@Lennli that would be amazing, legend 😍

you mean you did a Rainbolt on Rainbolt himself!
@@sayansingha6370 yupp :D
I love the cursed thumbnails and as I understand it, the uncanny valley makes people pause when scrolling, getting you clicks.
Thumbnail is crazy 😂
W video like always ❤
the thumbnail 😭anyways awesome video
I consider myself mediocre at geoguessr, but the Rio de janeiro round HURT right when the picture popped up, i was like RIO the famous dude with his arms out, i think the altitude and the vegetation was, what really made it easy.
28:46 when he turned around and it was a town from Star Wars, I thought for a second that I was trippin balls because I had no idea what to expect
That Las Vegas location was not only at the Sphere, but was also actually on the F1 circuit
the thumbnail outrage is wildly entertaining
once youve been up that road to cristo redentor in rio you dont forget it. loved this one
7:52 I was screaming at my laptop
just want to tell you how much i love your content! i’ve been watching for a while but went on a HUGE binge last night and i’m jazzed i woke up today to a new vid ❤
THE TOUBA MOSQUE RETURNS! Iconic.
Thumbnail be like, front: houses, behind: totem 🗿
being from Berlin i immediately recognized the street there, but its incredible you were able to 5k it this fast
16:19 seeing this image was brilliant, i immediately recognised it, having crossed the road in pretty much that exact spot on two different trips to berlin. great memories, thanks for that
You found me 😸

12:42 yea i live like 30 mins away from there and i would have never thought thats the bay
not the michael jackson shoutout 😭😭
bro is SMOULDERING in the thumbnail
mf is mewing in the thumbnail
great video keep up the good work mate

I've been wanting to try that mode/map but forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me
I love the thumbnails tbh they are hilarious, and to be honest they do draw the eye a bit more which is probably the point
Crazy how you didn't immediately say Touba Mosque after saying senegal 😂
Living in LA was huge for getting the GGB - there really is nothing by the water in the LA area except well known beaches.
15:43 Is this the temple where the big sleeping Buddha is? If so, I’ve been there as a kid! ❤
Fun video! I think the thumbnails are funny, I don't mind them haha
About Vegas, the Excalibur, my dad works there and I would not call it the most famous place in Vegas. At least not the busiest😂
I wonder if he could find Cousin Eddie's spread?
Really like this concept
Still can't believe that i guessed the sydney opera house like a second before he said it 😂
Kudos for Ratingen. Amazing guess!
As a SF native I can confirm like all of California gets that dry
10:35 "We have the steering wheel on the left here, that would be right-hand drive" 😁
Could you do a geoguessr map with historically important locations?
as someone who has tried to find the burj khalifa many times. i understand the struggle
Thanks for answering the feedback

It's hilarious to see you fail at using the compass properly!
You know what, better thumbnail picture! way to go!
I got the Berlin one with few meter accuracy having never visited Berlin and never played this game before. I'll take that
I love your thumbnails! They can make a sad person smile!
If it makes you feel any better, I have been in that exact parking lot and taken a photo near the Golden Gate Bridge and I still didn’t get it.
I was hoping for increasingly cursed thumbnails, keep going
EY PLEASE LEAVE THE CURSED THUMBNAILS THEYRE MAD FUNNY
shoutout geowizard as always
Thumbnail getting mad☠
Watching this and a street view car just drove by! I didnt chase it but I hope it got me taking a picture of it
Me, who lives in LA screaming at the screen "That's not LA! I don't know where it is, but that's not LA!"
3:52 it was at this moment, he knew, he fucked up...
you dont need to apologize to us Americans, I had no clue what it was either
The Burj Khalifa bro 😭

Great to see the Touba mosque. An absolute classic.
I was screaming at my monitor during the Burj Khalifa round
19:37 lol
I can't wait for the England video 🤯
“It’s right behind me isn’t it” ahh video
The Dubai one hurt very much, ngl haha
Pro Tip -> In India if you see a city that developed and has sandy soil , its most probably Jaipur or Jodhpur
for a dude named zig zag you got a real cocaine and coffee vibe
I thought it was, Vatican city, No idea, Burj Kalifa, Sydney Opera house, Golden gate bridge
what was the one at 31:10?
It's the street where Rainbolt found a google street view car, it's not a real famous place
7:53 I have never screamed this loud on a youtube video lmfao, I know scanning maps ain't your thing but... cmon
waiting for the Machu Picchu vlog, one day🤞🤞
7:55 is he playing possum or he is SERIOUSLY BLIND??!?!
well and truly the latter

that 15:28 round looked so much like singapore i really thought it was... and im singaporean
Lennli Kravitz - "Are You Gonna Guess Norway?"
unpopular opinion, I fw the thumbnails makes the video more likely to be clicked on
Laetare sunday my man
Easy map (first 5) I actually got everything. Not bad, myself. Not 5k, but not too far off at least. I like that mode with the famous places. Nice!
Haha, that first round was painful to watch.
Kanye isn’t just Pokémon mind blown 🤯
12:42 the 415 phone number is San Francisco
I got the Berlin round wrong, and thought it was Versailles: I am from Paris and live in Berlin. I am so ashamed.
ok the star wars movie set killed my 24k haha, i knew it was the film set but couldn't remember the country 😢
Thumbnail game leveling up
I miss the Road to #1 series 😢❤
As soon as I saw a palm tree right where I was I knew the exact millimetre because I was there a month ago
