Just seen geo wizards recent vid never new you’d played with him man
@@lucam9302 Yeah, it was an amazing experience! I have a video of my perspective as well if you are interested 🙂
Another tip I use is that if you ever see “ão” at the end of a word it’s Portuguese and so would have to be Brazil
That's a good tip to distinguish the languages for sure. ^^
also a ç only appears in portuguese so if you see ç then you know it's brazil too
I find the easiest Portuguese word to see is "e" which is "and". In Spanish, "y" is "and" in Catalan "i" is "and".
@@pwndnoob4937 I didn't know that, thanks
LOLL "ão" = instant click
I’m getting pretty decent at the game now, but I always struggle with Latin America and the south-east asian countries. Thanks for these tips👍👍
Glad I could help!
I needed help with south america thank you!
I'm glad this helps! :)
I really like fact you repeat alot, it helps alot not forgetting it😂
Thanks! I'm glad you like it! ^^
Brazil is a very big country and it's easy to guess somewhere that's far away from the true location. Most of the Google Streetview coverage is in the east side of the country, and the phone number area codes start with smaller numbers in the south and bigger numbers as you move north. So click somewhere toward the east side of the country, and if you see a phone number, you can get close with the latitude.
Thanks a lot for this video! I was going to ask you for these regional based tips, but I'm glad others came before me. Also really need a video like this for asia and eastern europe. 🙏
Glad it was helpful! More videos to come!
Another few I can think of:
- cars with the red and white reflector tape on the side is usually Peru
- Colombia taxis and trucks have the license plates printed on the side of the car
- very common to find a (usually) green payphone booth that look like a helmet on a stick in Brazil
The red and white thing still has a fair chance of being Ecuador, and don't know if any other countries.
The side plates also happen in two other latin american countries I think but I don't remember which
Thank you for even more tips! ^^
Two more things I can think of: There are two Colombian islands east of Nicaragua that have very notable car meta, and there's a type of road surface - hexagonal concrete pavement - that's typical for Ecuador and Bolivia.
Thanks for the additional tips!
also in brazil
Your Brazil location was some 2000 km away.
Some important fact you missed at that location at 4:50 were the ARAUCARIA PINE TREES... typical of southern Brazil.
Good idea! Would love an eastern/south east europe video since there are so many pretto similar countries in the area
Edit: Also some locations in Argentina has only white roadlines such as Chile does, this tends to be countryside roads however
Thanks for watching! I am planning to make a similar video about Europe soon :)
Argentina 1:38 and 6:45
Chile 4:58
brazil 4:21 and “ão” at the end of a word it’s Portuguese and so would have to be Brazil. Yellow solid line and dashed line
Peru 3:51
Bolivia 6:09
Uruguay 6:45
Colombia 0:33 and 2:17
Gajab
I though title says "Last america tips" 😂
You're not getting any more America tips ever!!!!
Thanks! Great video again. In Colombia it's great that taxis and commercial vehicles have number plates on the side and the roof that are often unblurred and even show you the city/district.
And in Latin America beer brands are helpful (Paceña in Bolivia, Gallo in Guatemala, Corona in Mexico...).
Thanks for the tips! ^^
cant wait to forget start playing and forget all of the tips lol
sooo useful video, cuz you have to guess South America most often. Very clear explanation 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
If you see ÃO or Ç, it's portuguese, not spanish.
5:08 Ecuador also has these orange-redish plates on taxis, sometimes even with this kind of car paint. But mostly their taxis are dirty yellow like Colombia. At some places their TAXI sign on the top of the car looks like an italian flag (green-white-red).
7:25 Uruguay signs: the backside is much more distinctive, the square poles have 3+ square holes, very unique. And it's mostly white pole.
My extra tips:
1) search for Latin American electric meter boxes (meta practice) in GeoGuessr. That's my map highlighting some interesting details in electric boxes. Uruguay and Peru have some very distinctive ones, I almost never went wrong with these. Argentina, Bolivia and MX also have some fairly useful clues in electric box appearance.
2) Portugese: Ç and Ã, Spanish: Ñ (this is distinctive, portugese doesn't have Ñ and spanish doesn't have Ç and Ã)
3) Brazil has RED plates on taxis and commercial vehicles. Mostly red background with white numbers, but sometimes vice-versa. Ecuador has similar colors on some taxis but it's not actually red, it's reddish-orange with black numbers.
4) Brazil has a VERY distinctive graffity/tag typography for some obscure reason. Almost any location of any bigger city will have these tags, they have VERY pointy characters. Never seen that outside of BR, it's a dead giveaway.
5) Bolivian plates are greyish or blue text on white. The blue is pretty visible if you know what to look for.
Thanks a lot for these additional tips!
i love guessing based on brick color in south america, especially helpful for ecuador where there arent any meta clues but bricks are always greay. theres a great overview in the #geoguessr-resources channel on the discord
Tip 1 Speak spanish that always makes me win
If you find a white car plate with a blue stripe at the top, this indicates that you are in Mercosur (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay). The plate also have the name and the flag of the country, but as it's blured you may not be able to see. The standard plate has been slowly implemented in those countries in the last years and will very soon be the only model
Thanks for the info! :)
3:44 the big blue blue semi truck (aka bonnet truck) is an indicator of mexico as well, in south america you don't get those very often, most of the semi trucks around here (Brazil for example) are "flat front" semi trucks (aka cab over trucks). Bonnet semis like the blue one over there are way too common in USA and Mexico, and Guatemala too.
Thanks for the tip! I didn't know that! :)
You inspired me to make my own Geo Guessr channel. I could use the support in subscribers!
Good luck! Make good content and they will come :)
best tip vid i have every seen in my hole life
Haha, thanks! I'm glad you found it so helpful!
THANK YOU for the octagonal pole tip, I never heard it before!
Happy to help!
Absolutely great video! You have helped me so much, and you are imo the best explaining youtuber. Keeping it concise, but extensive at the same time. Would absolutely love this type of video on Europe and specifically Eastern Europe.
Thanks a lot for the kind feedback! I'm planning to make a video in the future about Europe as well! :)
Fantastic video! Very thorough and well explained. Looking forward to putting these tips into action 😀😀
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
Thank you! I always struggled with South America and I feel this is going to help a lot!
Glad it was helpful! There are some more tips in the comment section from other viewers as well :)
Great vid! :)
(I haven't watched it yet but I know it will be good) ;)
Thanks for watching and commenting!
2:21 the doggo helps because you know you’re not in Asia. 😂
is it like a skill you have ore do you just learn alot of tips and tricks. ore is it a combination of both?
And may I ask another question wich country are you from?
You need to learn some liscence plates and stuff but you can also recognise the countries from the trees and landscape and if you just play the game and pay attention to the languages, bollards and stuff you will learn
A lot of practice The more you play and more tips you learn, the better you will get! And I'm from Latvia. ^^
Ah thanks Peter and Roy, i'm going to practise alot🙏🏻😀
I hope Middle East and SouthEast Asia tips are coming
More tip videos are coming for sure! :) But they will mostly be the tips I have already covered in my other tip videos, just grouped based on the location.
Tip for Curacao:
In Curacao people speak Dutch, so if you can recognize the Dutch language you instantly know that you are in Curacao.
What's gen 4 camera?
I have a short video showing examples of camera generations here: th-cam.com/video/zEL030cpG9k/w-d-xo.html
Hope it helps! :)
@@GeoPeter thank you so much , it is very helpful
How about for the next time you do something similar to this, you don't pick the places yourself and instead play a map like South America or whatever the video is about. I know that could be harder to get good tips on and I have nothing wrong with this way either. Either way, amazing and helpful video, I needed help with South America especially!
Thanks for the feedback and your support! With random locations I feel the video would be longer with less tips.
@@GeoPeter Yea exactly what I thought. Keep doing it this way then!
Tips for Curaçao:
- Black car with white bars
- Lovely doggos
I must say, that's some impressive knowledge about poles.
Thanks! ^^
4:40 signa qith black back= Brasil but then at 6:50 we see again sign with black back and it s not Brasil? kinda confusing
Great video, this should greatly help me in Battle Royale. Latin America and central/eastern Europe always kill me.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad it helps!
The last tips on island countries blew my mind
Yeah, being able to see the car helps a ton in these islands.
i know im late (haha) but argentina also has white roadlines not only chile
The first one was Brazil lol
They always put the worst places in Colombia ahah
Another thing about stop signs is that in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, they say Pare instead of Alto
Good point!
This would be a great idea but for south east Asia as that is my least confident area
Thanks for the suggestion!
Little idea for you, you could make maps specifically made for each of your tips videos, that include things that you talk about in your video that could help to find out where you are, it would be like some kind of a training, to help people better remember your tips, would love to see that
(Sorry if this sentence doesn’t make sense, im not native English speaker)
Thanks for the suggestion! That's a great idea! :)
im not a great guessr but i just won a game of battle royal thanks to your tips on uruguay road lines and signs : )
Oo, that's awesome! I'm glad my videos have helped!
It first surprised me to hear South America included in Latin America as I used to think it referred to Central America. But then you made a sentence which implied even Central America is not part of Latin America and Im pretty sure it is! Maybe it would be better to avoid the term Latin America as it is unclear where Central and South America are very clear. Thanks for the video!
Latin America generally is understood to be a South America and Central America along with Mexico :)
@@GeoPeter Ty! Also, kinda random but I saw the ‘Columbian cross’ in Peru the other day. Curious if you ever see it in other countries too
Thank you for the tips ! I often struggle to differentiate Chile/Argentina and Uruguay/Argentina but now no more mistakes
Happy to help! ^^
great video thx
Oh boy wait until Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia fully implement the new common plates
That will make things more difficult for sure 😄
You forgot Ecuador!
I would love seeing such film about southeastern Europe
I'm planning to release a tip video about Europe next week. :)
A tip for Mexico is Oxxos, stores that are extremely common and only exist there
Thanks! That's a good tip!
Those are good tips
I remember hearing from other TH-camrs that Colombia have yellow plates
Thanks! It does :)
Great video, but forgot to add that Colombia also can have black cars, which I always forget about while playing
Really? They must be quite rare then. I can't remember seeing Black cars like shown in the video in Colombia.
I get white more than black, but I have gotten a decent amount of black cars in Colombia. It also says there is a balance on the Cameras and Cars spreadsheet (docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SUcuQkmDgVZMqNLe7XuNEhmJulonpnSQuSiJAOqfhtY/edit#gid=1975001994)
Nice video bro...a hug from Brazil
Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
Thanks
Wow, thank you! 😊
You were mixing up terms, Latin America is most of the countries from Mexico to Argentina and Chile and a a few islands on the Caribe sea, is more a cultural and linguistic region than geographic. On the other hand Central and South America are geographical zones.
Great video! Another Chile tip: the most common type of chilean street signs are fairly easy to recognize, a black rectangle, often with a white outline, it's on the right at 5:11 . It's pretty much in every mayor city and large town and you don't get it in any other country
Very epic!!
Thanks for the tip! :)
Do you have a PDF or something with all these? Thanks btw!
Not a PDF, but I do have a playlist with all of my tip videos: th-cam.com/play/PL8U3zlooRj_kofyE0gNwdE0gflezMclkn.html
You can also check out geohints.com or geotips.net if you're looking for info written down :)
I only have memory room for 2-3 of these tips... so everytime he adds one I forget one.
It's all about practice :)
"PARE" signs are also used in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
Mexico uses a standard mix of Brazil and USA styles
Argentina uses a unique blue with red border mandatory signs
Zebra crossing signs are similar to Sao Paulo warning signs(red triangle)
Crosswalk signs
Yellow(USA,Mexico,Brazil standard)
Red(Argentina or Barbados)
Blue(Sao Paulo or Jamaica)
Thanks for the info! 😊
ty bro
Thanks for the tips. They help a lot :)
Happy to help!
Great video! Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub! Appreciate your support!
5:25 there's a URL on the Top Fashion Store sign with the Chilean .cl TLD.
Man, I’m discovering new locations even now. I played A diverse world 100 times and last week I got The Dominican Republic for the first time, and I didn’t know that they have street view. I got the US Virgin Islands and caracao before that
There are many islands that you get very rarely. I'm sure there are some you still haven't seen. :)
Same GeoPeter that played with GeoWizard?
Yup, the same :)
@@GeoPeter Cool! You should do a colab (1v1) :) Subbed.
Really helpful video :))
I'm so glad!
Hello love your videos
Thanks a lot! :)
What about Ecuador?
Ecuador often looks similar to Colombia but has white plates. And usually has that antenna that I showed.
Why are Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Curacao, Costa Rica, US Virgin islands etc not on Battle Royale?
I'm not sure why. Maybe because there aren't too many locations covered.
Very helpful video! Although I don't really like the use of the google car. Would be cool to know the different shop names, different advertisers on billboards, the different kind of vegetation etc...
Thanks for the feedback! I do plan to play more with the car hidden in the future. We'll see how it goes. :)
the worse is when you have no line, no sign, no car, no bollard and a desert like area, I always struggle to find it, either chile peru bolivia and sometime if we dont see the black car, Argentina, is there a small subtlety to help identify the terrain?
Yeah, those locations are tough. I usually go on the gut feel in those situations. The more you play, the better it will get. :)
Great video as usual, very useful! Do you get countries like Curacao and Dominican Republic in maps like diverse world? I never got those locations
Yes, I believe they can be found in ADW. :)
Thank you so much, i keep losing in country streak because of South America lmao. I guess i wont lose my streak anymore thx to you ❤
Glad I could help!
Nekad nedomāju, ka kādreiz redzēšu kādu Latviešu geoguessr youtuber, šī man tuva tēma, skatos Tom Davies jau 3 gadus :D.
Esi kaut kā saistīts ar Ģeogrāfiju, vai pats visu pašmācībā esi apguvis?
Pašmācībā. :) Spēlēju GeoGuessr gandrīz 8 mēnešus.
most south american countries have almost the same vibes here in SEA which is really confusing for me :D
Yeah, they can sometimes look very similar!
You're a legend
HEy great video peter. Do you have a europe tips video or like would be willing to make one?
I have many European tips in my other tip videos if you haven't seen those yet. I'm planning to make a similar video to this but about Europe soon. :)
Very helpful as usual, thanks for posting. Really hoping for an Eastern Europe video next. My biggest problem area.
Thanks for the comment! I will release a similar video about Europe some time soon. :)
Thank you so much for this video I really struggle on South America so this helps a lot
Happy to help! :)
great tips! waiting patiently for a specific small islands tip video. even though you already shown some in this video (which i'm really thankful for) :) keep up the great content.
It will come but I don't know how soon ^^
@@GeoPeter great! there's no rush, looking forward to it. thanks a lot for your efforts.
latin america is the region i struggle with the most so thank you!! so helpful.
I'm glad it helps! Thanks for watching!
Love ur content! Milestones are also a good clue to find a south American' country during my games
Thanks a lot! :)
very helpful for a lot of the latin america rounds that I encounter, quick and easy to the point man, continue your youtube grind and thanks as always!
Thanks, will do! Appreciate your support!
Maybe you can make a Europe tips video because I always have trouble differenciating the countries.
I plan to release a European video in the future as well! :)
In Europe I find the languages really helpful and he also has a video on it. Also there is some licence plate tricks. Like if you see a lot of Æ it is probably Denmark and other things
very very useful video, thanks Peter
Glad it was helpful!
what is a gen4 camera? how do you tell the difference
I have a short video showing the differences of cameras here: th-cam.com/video/zEL030cpG9k/w-d-xo.html
I hope it helps!
Licence plate in Bolivia is often blue-ish.
Thanks for the tip!
Much appreciated!
Glad to help!
Great video!
Do you have any tips for indoor locations in any country? I get those some times
Thanks! :) Indoor locations are mostly unofficial. I don't think I have any universal rules for those.
@@GeoPeter Got ya
Thank you for listening to my feedback ☺️
Happy to help! ^^
The regions I struggle with most is distinguishing countries in central and Eastern Europe, a video on this would be great 👍
I will make a video about Europe some time soon! :)
Great video Peter waiting for the stream like always have a great day
Thanks! You too!
6:15 Argentina can have a white car too
It can but it's very rare. I don't remember the last time I got that. :)
best latin america tip: be RC
Thank helps as well :D
how do you put country streak on different maps?
I have a video on how to do it here: th-cam.com/video/LfU12EoZQXk/w-d-xo.html
@@GeoPeter thanks!
