"They look black but not that black" - Tom Davies, 2020

New series: Straight line mission across Afghanistan

Honestly that's one of the more ridiculous guesses you've had, such a remote area with nothing really to go off of. Good shit!

geo wizard: 'sees human' also geo wizard: seems like south new guinea

1:07 "Ugh it's quite poor... image quality" nicely dodged

Fun fact : The Panjshir Valley is a big gemstone producer, especially aquamarine and emerald

When I saw that guy taking a pic of the google car while driving I instantly knew it was Turkey.

1920: never travelled there in my life 2020: never clicked there in my life

7:49 "I guess it could be Greece" as he stares at the letter "S" which isn't in the Greek alphabet.

I dont understand how you can be so good at this and so knowledgable in geography, but not know that Haiti is French

I love this channel so much. His voice and his way of explaining his thoughts really calms my mind.

Sounds like a decent format, although I was looking forward to seeing countries like Tonga, Uzbekistan, maybe Hungary...

10 country challenge on a complete world

“Afghanistanis” -Tom Davies 2020

7:56, for the Turkey guess, you could've used the big white tower from the mosque far in the distance a bit to the left of the road

That has to be the most insane guess you've ever made, it could have been any point on the world and you managed to guess the correct river...

Afghanistan is an a insanely beautiful country, I’d love to visit there one day, great food and hashish there too. I knew it was Afghanistan because there was a kid in my school with the surname wardak!

This is my guess about geowizard.. he has photographic memory, once he sees a place , he can remember the place.. hence, the next time he sees same kind of place (trees, buildings), he pins the location. I'm not saying he's not good in geography.. he is, but this ability ables him to get those insane guesses.

Brits: It’s the River Thames not the Thames River. Also brits: *RIVER AMAZON*

"Afghanny Stanny or something like that" -Geowizard, 2020

The first pic you got, I've been there. I was screaming to the screen, "That's Leticia" ajajajajaj

As soon as i saw the guy taking a photo while driving, in my head, i went "Turkey". You could also see the tower (whatever it's called) of a mosque in the distance.

YOOOOOOO I been to the pansher river and was hyped af when you guessed it!!

11:12 for the insane guess.

You should do this map more often

2:00 "telegraph pole" is the most British thing I've ever heard

When you said Google Car it set my Google Home on a car dealer naming spree

Regarding power lines, those big triangular ones are pretty common for high voltage transmission in Europe. So if you see one of them, you're probably in between two big cities. It wasn't for that round, but generally that should be the case. In this case, OpenStreetMap tells me that powerline connects Ankara to the southern city of Şanlıurfa.

"We've got a Kia" = Korea "We've got IKEA" = Sweden

Challenge idea: No moving, scrolling or zooming + 10 second time limit + perfect score.

I am a Turk and I have already guessed that it was Turkey when I saw the landscape. But when I saw that man in Fiat Doblo taking the picture of the Google car I was 100% sure. Ps. That minivan Fiat “Doblo” is like the national car of Turkey so when you see that, it’s most likely Turkey.

8:02 that might be a minaret, which would be typical of turkey

It is true. North California (or the state of Jefferson) did (and still does in some places) want to be their own state (the state of Jefferson. I’ve been in Adin many times, cool to see a place I’ve been.

I love it, "Bio" instead of Rio

lol, I recognized the way the roads in Afghanistan look from MGS V, espceially these rock traffic barriers on the side. Remarkable how well the environment is designed in this game.

First time I've seen my home country's neighbour on Geoguessr lmao

Im from Brazil , and i love to watch your videos. Thx for uploading them !

I'm Colombian and immediately recognized my country because of the plates

When you see a fiat minivan or whatever is called... its 90% in Turkey lol

I live in lake county CA and there is a significant push for the state of Jefferson and there has been since the 40s, its mainly because most of the north is very rural, farms and low income, and the big cities the government focuses on doesn't really represent that.

I was so thrilled when you went for the Domincian Republic, because I clicked there as well. Even roughly the same place. Such a shame we weren't right.

That map is awesome, you should play it more often. Maybe 10 country challenge as suggested by others? I just had an insane guess in the South Korea round where I randomly picked out the right city. Never happened to me in that country :D Also Tom, you missed the mosque in the Turkey round. I could rule out Greece because of it. Was pretty far away in Turkey though..

Jack Bauer: "I need help findi - " GeoWizard: "Say no more fam"

2:19 good save

As you realized Haiti is actually of a French influence, they would've had white plates

That Afghan guess was crazy, wow impressive

You SHOULD walk across the Luxembourg in a straight line

@1:39 I have observed that in Colombia, some vehicles put painted license plates on their side. One recent Daily Challenge example would be 06/06/20 where I saw a nearby truck with a painted side plate which clearly says Medellin and Colombia, which greatly narrowed down the area for guessing.

Colombian license plates are yellow as you see in the first one, and service cars like taxis, vans have white

"He looks Jamaican" - Tom 2020 , making a guess in Columbia

Fun fact: this channel is online visible on youtube after 1 am when you are bored

New series: straight line extreme: Straight line across Sahara desert Straight line across chernobyl straight line across siberia. or straight line across compton, LA at night.

I would love to see more videos in this format

Yeah Northern California wants to be a separate state from the more urban and southern part, but I don’t think anything will come of it

Hi dude, it’s probably very unlikely that you will see my message but i want to tel l you how much I enjoyed the series:”I attempted to cross an entire country in a straight line” I remember myself being excited for every new episode and i just remembered 10 months later how good this series was and it shows how quickly this year flew by. I know you still vlog but there was something special about this series I reaaally enjoyed. Are you ever planning to do something similar? I would be super excited if you would respond but as i said theres a slight chance you will even see this but if you are reading this I want to wish you good luck dude!

Guys... its the Afghanistananis -Jim Halpert

Is it weird that I kinda just listen to these, kinda like ASMR? To fall asleep to.

Yes finally dominican republic is at least mentioned! btw as a dominican that brazilian town looked literally like here so you made a pretty good guess

Love the play alongs, keep them coming!

ohhhhh i’m colombian and i recognized those license plates!! crazy shit. good guess!

A small tip if you don't do it already: Whenever I play this way, I look up at the sky to see whether the sun is to the north or to the south. Helps me to know whether I am north or south of the Equator.

Bruh name this man the new Mr. Worldwide

When you do challenges I generally pause the video, play the round, then unpause till the next round. I cheat and move around though. The last one I didn't move around (I don't even remember if I could have) and I was impressed with my 33 miles away bit, then you had to go and out do me by miles.

I would’ve gone Morocco for #5. Looks almost identical to some places I’ve cycled through there.

Hi mate, i'm from France and very happy to master english enough to understand all your puns and made up words... Makes me laugh à lot ! Cheers

Can't believe he missed the minaret in the Turkey one... He even zoomed in on it!

Content has been great so far mate. Cheers Tom!

This was the first video I watched I've been hooked ever since

Fun fact! Northern California wanted to separate and name themselves the state of Jefferson, the only reason why they didn’t is cause the day they were going to declare independence from California just happened to be the day of Pearl Harbor, so they were completely undermined !

This is just basically a how many paradox games have you played simulator

There was a minaret in the Turkey shot. Amazing recovery in the final round though. I do like this map.

5:43 “In the North East”... 🤔 ... “of California” Oh ok

As an Afghan. I knew instantly they were Afghan, but had no idea of the location. That was ana amazing guess

i love that you figured out the writing in round 4 was koren like 20x faster than it took to realise the first location was spanish

The California one I guessed only because of the golden grass on the hill. It’s such a good signifier

Woah I’ve been to that city in Colombia and I thought that it looked like it, but that it was impossible. Crazy seeing a place I’ve been to. Knew it was Colombia from the number plates.

On the Turkey map there's a mosque visible in the distance (7:00 on the left hand side). Also, I more or less immediately recognized the first map to be Amazonian Peru or Colombia because I had explored that area and city on google maps not two days before. Nice to see you coincidentally get this map.

Your videos are very relaxing!

to summarize my adventure: 1) Recognized it could be Colombia because of the yellow number plates and because the van had the registration painted on the door. And I had the impression the texts might be Spanish. Went for a place near Panama. Then I got surprised: I once was at the very spot the picture was taken. One of the most amazing places of the planet we're living on. 2) Decided to move around a bit as the image quality was really bad. I was sure it's the USA from the starting point, then clicked in Nevada. 3) Was pretty sure it looked like Turkey, moved again towards a road sign with some Turkish text, then to another sign with place names. From there getting to within 1km was no big deal. 4) Easy to recognize as somewhere in Korea, did not bother at all moving around, because I know finding an exact spot in South Korea is extremely difficult for me, clicked in a town that sounded promising, got 4995 points. My most insane guess probably. 5) The image did not load on my screen, so I muted the KZfaq tab and used your scrolling and zooming to get clues. The number plate had Arabic numbers, but most Arabic countries use (also) "European" numbers, at least those I thought I knew a bit about. I was thinking it has to be Yemen, Afghanistan or Pakistan. The valley looked a bit like images I saw from Tajikistan, the name "Wardak" sounded like a name a Pashtun might have, so I went for Afghanistan and chose the road from Kabul to Jalalabad, because I imaged this is a place people would dare to make a photo stop. Got 21k, by far the worst guess came on the round from a place I have been. Nice one!

This map is way better than diverse world for no moving games. Would love to see more of it 👍

excited for this series!

Do a video on Geoguessr Free its so bad it might be funny for a video

that guy staring at the camera in the last one really looked pakistani to me.

would love to see this map more

Great Job! Tom, you kind of missed something. Round 1: there was a yellow license plate on the motorcycle, and a white license plates on the side of van. Colombia has the yellow license plates on cars and painted-on white license plates on trucks, taxis, and vans.

“This blokes hiding behind a telegraph pole” - instantly proven by columbia

at 07:35 there is a white minaret on the left side , you could have understand that this is Turkey easily

Northern California and Southern Oregon wants to be a new state called Jefferson. Movement started back around 1940 and was derailed by the attack on Pearl Harbor and World War II. Most recently it’s been popular again because the politics in that region is very different than the rest of the state.

Protip: The compass is pretty much always worth fuck all in photospheres, don't know if it ever works actually. Maybe only by chance. Once had a location in Paris where I could see the arch thing and pretty much had the distance spot on but was on the wrong street because the compass lied. So don't beat yourself up over not checking further in that last round, that was an amazing guess!

I like to see you playing this map !

The Yeongju almost-guess was pretty insane as well. If you did not change your mind, it looks like you would have been really close.

5:32 next straight line challenge right here!

Holy damn you good at these, keep up the good work!

Clues you didn't get: Map 1: This doesn't say Bio but Rio. Watch the shades, the sun was nearly in the zenith which means we are very near the equator, which means: Colombia. Map 2: Foliage: Lots of Coniferes (needle-trees), very dry, hilly. Which means west coast of the US. Map 3: Vast, empty land, good roads and a white minaret (the "bell-tower" of mosques) at the horizon = Turkey

remote location deep in the amazon rainforest, literally in the bottom corner of colombia massive coca cola advertisement

pro tip: It's very common to see number plates on the side of cars in colombia like that van had

Turkey was so easy because you saw a mosque tower in the distance and climate and everything matched perfectly

For that last one I randomly thought north of Kabul but where I saw the nature reserve I was put off, but what a guess from Tom

You get stranded on an island, pick 3 items and a person you would like to be stranded with. I would pick a knife, tarp, and a magnifying glass. The person would be the only person I know that can accurately guess the location because of how the roads look, dirt appears, and how the water looks.

Their clothing screamed Afghanistan. Excellent guess!
