Rainbolt made this one way harder than it needed to be. There was a Buzzfeed article about this clip, and the poster said in the article what city he took the clip in. Also, I think you misunderstood how Rainbolt knows from Google maps which way the person is facing. The swing set is positioned diagonally in the frame, with one side being closer to the camera than the other side. If you see the person facing away from the camera, then the left side is closer. If you see the person facing towards the camera, then the right side is closer. Rainbolt looked at the swingset in Google maps and saw which side was closer to the point from which the clip was shot, and figured out the way the person was facing from that.
Based on the leg, arm and feet movements, it's pretty clear that they're facing the camera. Pause it when the person is at their highest point when swinging to the right
I did, from the way I see it is still facing away it from my point of view seems strange anyone can it the other way. That said, there is a reason this video went viral with people disagreeing I guess. lol!
If Rainbolt thinks she's facing the camera she is probably facing the camera, pretty sure that's a lot easier than identifying countries by dirt. I'd trust him to be right.
They are very different skills though in fairness although as someone else has mentioned in a comment his actually meant the Geoguessr camera not the original camera.
A Large population of Alaska live in the two-three largest cities, it makes sense to check them first, Anchorage is the biggest as far as I remember, and the guy was at an airport so could have easily taken a plane down for example, so it's a logical assumption that it must be in either of them, and if then they are not in either, at least you ruled out a majority of them :)

Aaaah ok, I guess he wanted to add the layer as if not seen.
Oh ok so me and Rainbolt actual agree, fair enough!

The person in the swingset is facing the building, away from the camera. His/Hers feet wouldn't make sense if he/she was facing the camera.
Exactly, it does feel kind of obvious to me but there we go.
pause the video and get your brain to lock onto the othe direction, then see what you think.

Thank you, I don't know Alaska well but that makes sense then! Thank you!
