  • Back on the road we go, I have the dream of hitting number one in the world on Geoguessr duels. This will not be easy, especially considering that I'm playing without moving, but I'm still optimistic that it's possible. Still, certain moments in this episode definitely tested my sanity (I'm looking at you Pakistan trekker). Enjoy!

      @@dasi2957 Great advice. I would have said something very similar. Looking at Google Earth and checking coverage in different areas and countries helps tremendously, and you have time to digest everything specific to whatever area you’re in, and what it looks like. Just doing a quick look at the Kamchatka peninsula in eastern Russia gave me a better idea of what the area looks like which can help in future games.

    Can confirm that brick surfaces on the streets in the Netherlands are for 30km/hour streets. They increase road noise and makes it uncomfortable to drive quickly, hence making drivers more likely to stick to the speed limit.

    8:41 It just blows me away that you miss massive landmarks like the Q1 building, and don't instantly know which city that is. Sure, ok you got it in the end, but you need to learn your landmark buildings! I saw that you missed the Auckland Sky Tower recently also. Instant give-aways for most.

But I 100% agree with them on the fact of the trekkers. If World map dropped those, I'd think it was an ok (not great, but, ok) map, but because of them I still think its a below average map.
