My favorite part about these videos is when you explain how you figured out what country the locations are in, I honestly find it educational and I've learned quite a lot from your videos :D
So glad you're back safe! From your non-thrilled tone I guess you didn't make it, but the videos are bound to be massively entertaining anyway. Can't wait.
@@zwickflixproductions4379 What even counts as crossing an entire country anyway? Couldn't he find some narrow point like a peninsula somewhere and still claimed to have crossed it?
@@reepicheepsfriend I reckon some sort of criteria like the line has to have roughly 50% of the country's surface area to either side of it. Maybe 30-50% on either side.
Leah C my guess is he crossed close to Narvik in northern Norway, where the fjord stretches so far inland that the distance to the Swedish border is only a few kilometres despite being close to the middle of the country length-wise
When I see tall pylons and the highway ,I have the feeling that it might be some place in Taiwan, but I’m not quite sure. I’m Taiwanese and I live in Taichung City ,so the location is actually pretty close to where I live!! You’re absolutely amazing to get the correct answer , what a Geography GOD
Great video - as always - and welcome back. See you sometimes struggling with whether a country is NO/DK or SE, but there is an easy hint: The Swedish alphabet has the letters "Ö" & "Ä" in it and the others don't. On the other hand, "Ø" & "Æ" are strictly Danish/Norwegian. :)
@@r-series8705 Taiwan was definitely a way better guess. Absolutely insane. Even though it might not be a high score, I'd nominate to put it in Insane Guesses. Based on the limited features giving away the country. All he had to go off was: Driving on the right, Green traffic signs and a massive highwire. This was crazy.
5:55 I had a little look at this area on Google Maps to see where there wasn’t a border and it looks like it’s because it’s a massive ice field with a couple of outlet glaciers
Quick tip on how to deferentiate Italy and Switzerland: on Italian roads, in corners, the center line is always continuous (unless it's a very slight curve), while in Switzerland they keep the dotted line (like in the case of the video)
Watching the sweden one, recognised it and realised I have lived less than 200 meter from the location. The world is pretty small sometimes 😅 crazy guesses by the way👍👍
That have been said already, but I have to pile on: your Taïwan guess was juste INSANE ! SO very well done. By the way, next time for Africa, if you see one of the Google camera poles with black tape on the end, you can guess 'Ghana' without thinking ;-) Stay amazing and welcome back ! (an sorry for that "not France" guess: our arrow signs for curves are white and blue, never red)
Enjoy watching your videos immensely, Tom. I've learnt quite a bit from you, when it comes to Geogussr education. Alas, the only thing that remains is for me to take you up on a challenge. See you very soon ;) Lots of love, mate. Wish you continued safe, and mad adventures
I just found your channel and this is just that content that i want to watch. I have searched this kind of channel while and now i found it. Greetings From Finland thanks
16.12 I knew immediately we were on the San Bernardino road towards Bellinzona in the south of Switzerland since we take it two to three times a year. Thus I was really on the edge of my seat following you getting this so well! Congrats to this one as well all the other insane guesses where in most of them I would have been whole continents off!
15:20 Lived in Taiwan for a long time. They put their electrical pylons on top of large concrete plinths because of possible flooding and storm surge from typhoons. and the angled concrete wall is common next to the ocean.
2:30 British Tom: "ViLlaFranCa dE lA SiErrA, the most Spanish name possible I think." Absolutely love watching you trying to imitate a Spanish accent 😂
To make you feel a bit better: 3:23 - You click right next to a sort of a lake. The place you're changing it to is closer by than the first click - But wow! What impressive
Hold the eff up! At 6:12 he zooms in on a place called Estancia Helsingfors! Helsingfors is the official Swedish name for Helsinki, the capital of Finland, where I live. What on earth is that city name doing in ARGENTINA?! I could not believe my eyes! (And yes, most older cities in Finland have an official Swedish name since both Finnish and Swedish are official languages here)
When you got the round in Germany I didn't even have to look twice..I legit walked down that road like an hour ago... 😅 Also regarding Scandinavia (and probably some people have commented that before) : the letter ö and ä is only used in Sweden and Finland, Denmark and Norway use Æ and Ø instead!
Can't wait for the Norway videos. I wonder which part of the country you were crossing. I guess it's not where it's at its broadest! My guess is somewhere in the region of Nordland.
Its weird how my rate of guessing along has improved just a couple days after finding this channel :D Had germany, sweden and italy even earlier than tom (although of course i have no pressure to do good whatsoever :D)
Glad to have you back mate! Can you turn up your mic for future videos btw :) Also I really liked that Geodetective challenge! Keep up the lovely content man! EDIT: What a way to start your comeback video! 3:23, very impressive!

That portion of the Chile/Argentina border hasn't been defined. Haven't found an official reason but someone on Reddit said this: If I recall correctly the treaty defined the border as the peak of the mountains, where the water flows in a specific direction.

The countries maintain good relations so it hasn’t been a contentious issue.

That already was a weird piece of witchcraft. And this time you pick the EXACT spot in Seckbach that I just came from because I work there... what are the god damn odds!
5:22 this is likely a Santana licensed build of a Land Rover Series III, judging by the wheel arches... for sure not a Defender, much earlier (narrow axle, leaf springs)
If you find it hard to distinguish between scandinavian countries, one hint obviously is the language.

At 19:39 you can see an ö on the sign, so it can only be either Sweden or Finland. Yet, the word isn't weird so it's probably Sweden ;P Hope that helps!
3:57 you changing your guess was actually closer! Your first guess was almost twice the distance away up the road near the more roundish lake so good thing you changed!
I wonder if the white and red arrows are somewhat specific to Austria. I'm Austrian and I guessed it rather quickly, mainly because the arrow signs looked familiar. But I wasn't very confident either. The Taiwan guess was insane.
