Geoguessr, but I can only place the pin somewhere I've been IRL

Introducing my latest weird and wonderful way of playing Geoguessr!
This time, instead of spamming rounds until I've been to the location in real life like we did last time, we play the game as normal but we only place the pin somewhere we've been. If it's Europe or even North America then I might be able to get surprisingly close to the pin. If it's South America, Asia or Australia then I'm pretty screwed.
Will I get any insanely familiar locations and big resulting scores? Can I even work out the location to begin with? I delve back into the classic world map to find out..
DON'T FORGET: you can play along to try and beat me score! (only for the first game)
PLAY ALONG: Play your round, put your marker down, then switch tabs back to KZfaq to watch my attempt and the result. This way you don't ruin the game or the video!

Some other yellow signs might occur in Finland. I´d love if any Swedes or Finns could either confirm or deny this.
