Having lived in Seattle, at first I thought it was Seattle from the sun tone and trees, then the cars looked too reasonably sized (not to mention the lack of garbage in/on/near the street) to be USA, and I didn’t recognise the 604 area code from US ones so I was guessing Canada.. but probably would’ve ended up in Toronto! 😄 It’s so frustrating that they can’t google the area code of a phone number.

My round: 1) Easy, Sydney. proceed to spend way too long focusing in on the hospital which I didn't find. Placed randomly in East Sydney and got 4998, not bad. 2) Clearly italy. Northern? Bologna idk, did okay 4331. 3) Looks like La Paz to me? Scanned around a bit but didn't want to spend too much time, placed randomly in La Paz, turns out to be Peru but fairly close 4289. Not bad. 4) Iceland, I pretty much did the exact same thing as you. Found graffafu..gur or whatever and placed a rough estimate. Managed to get the 5k, probably my best guess ever! I think not trying to get it perfectly actually helped me in this case. 5) No clue. Felt like northern US so went in Portland, kinda happy tbh. 3,677. Ended up with a record score(for this format) of 22,295. great stuff loved the vid!

Round 1: Apparently Sidney has more than one road called William st. so it threw me off a little bit but ended finding it after a while. 5000 points. Round 2: Big city with Metro. Convinced myself early on that we were in Napoli because of the Zurich stamp on the post. Napoli played against Zurich FC very recently for Europa League. I did a quick search in all the other cities with metros, but the metro station name didn't correlate with anything on that place so after looking a lot i just settled with somewhere in Napoli. Could've find it if i had associated it with North Italy :( 3129 points. Round 3: Thought we were in Peru as well. Also found the other "Tacna" in the complete opposite direction, curiously. After looking a lot, ended up going with Ayacucho, as every road there started with "Jr." and the mountains kinda correlated, despite not finding the road. 3404 points. Round 4: Also went for around Reykjavik, was already frustated as well, just went in a random road, didn't bother too much to look where we were exactly. 4980 points. Round 5: Clicked in Portland. 3699 points. Total: 20212 points

Amazing guesswork! Tip for the future: Tacna is a city in Peru close to the chilean border, so in southeast Peru, most cities have a Tacna street. Jr. is short for Jirón and means no more than street or avenue in english-speaking countries, so you were completely right to ignore it :) I was actually facepalming when you showed "Hospedaje" on the map and on the sign because that just means "Hostel" and that part of Puno consists of 80% hostels, but I'm glad you picked the right one by chance!

The Peruvian one was legitimately difficult. Sometimes knowing more isn't necessarily the best thing. I got sidetracked by Tacna into looking in the wrong province at first, because that's the southernmost province and there's even a city by that name. It turns out there are tons of roads named Tacna in different cities in Peru, and I got to Puno because a) it's a relatively well-off city of a size to support multi-story buildings, on a famous lake, and b) upon careful examination of every damn inch the white van on the left across the street has a blue bar across the top that says "virgen de la candelaria de Puno". Jr. stand for jirón, a Peruvian street composed of several irregular sections that could easily be (and possibly once were) separately named streets. It's a dead giveaway for being in Peru. I sure wish the Google blurring algorithm were a lot smarter.

got my first no-moving perfect score on this one!!! 1 - Saw the sign pointing to Canberra and Wollongong first, figured from it being a big looking city that was close to those two, could only be Sydney. Then saw the hospital and spent ages looking for it up and down Williams Street before eventually finding it (it's been added to the map but you still have to be zoomed in pretty far). 5000! 2. Got different imagery here, there was a sign for Milan Fashion Week which was fortunate. Then looked for metro stations on big junctions in Milan before finding the right one. 5000!! 3. Again, different imagery and I couldn't see either Tacna street sign, but did see Puno on a taxi and Peru on a banner, so found the city pretty quickly. Then I spotted "Jr. Tacna" on a shop sign, but spent a long time looking for it since most of the businesses didn't match up. Got there in the end. 5000! 4. The sign to the north wasn't blurred for me, so I quite helpfully could see the direction, distance and road number to Reykjavik and Mosfellsbaer. Plus one of the businesses on the left actually appears on the map now. Those things combined made it fairly easy. 5000! 5. Different imagery again, I think it was from the same time but a different position - I saw .ca on a car which made all the difference since it tipped me off to Canada. Couldn't read the sign you saw but made out East 12th Street on another. It looked like there were mountains or at least hills in the west, fortunately there aren't many big cities in Canada, so I checked them all for mountains in the west and a grid layout with numbered streets going east-west, eventually found North Vancouver after some fruitless pissing around in Calgary. Pinpointed the exact spot on East 12th St thanks to the little roundabout and size of the buildings to the south. 5000! total: 25,000! oh my god

1. I actually ended up in a hotel room overlooking the Opera, which was quite surprising. Yay for playing ages later I guess. 4999 points because it was a weird location and I couldn't really judge where the actual location was. 2. Changed images as well, had a poster that mentioned Milan, but finding the actual place took a while. Mostly looked for Metro stations in combination with the junction layout. 5000 points. 3. I guessed further in the south, annoyingly the changed image actually had the city name on it, but with the language I wasn't sure which one would have been a place name. If I had been as sure about Peru as you were, maybe I could have made the connection. 672 points. 4. Looked mainly in the biggest city since everything else didn't seem big enough, the updated map had the name of one of the advertisements on it, so that helped. 5000 points. 5. Not much to go on, clicked somewhere in the US. 742 points. Well done on Peru in particular, that was quite some intuition and dedication on your part.

1: Easy 5000 points 2: Clearly Northern Italy. Cities with Metro systems there are the big 3 Milan, Turin, Genoa as well as Brescia. Ruled out Brescia because I don't think there are such massive squares. Started to look in Milan for Metro stations at squares near the city center with multiple roads leading to them. Found it relatively quickly, 5000 points. 3: Looking at the clothes of the local people it was Peru or Bolivia. In Peru I found a city called Tacna, confirming to me that we were in Peru. Mountains to the South made me rule out Lima relatively confidently. Looked in Arrequipa, didn't find a Tacna road there. Looked in Cuzco, found one, but it didn't really match up with the layout. Didn't want to continue searching (probably wouldn't have checked Puno anyways), went for Tacna road in Cuzco and got 3959 4: Iceland. Relatively flat and very built up means Reykjavik/Kopavogur/Hafnafjördur area. Looked for some of the businesses that were next to the road. Didn't find them, made a guess and was only 1 mile off. 4993 points. 5: Same thought as you. Went for Albany, NY. Disappointingly only 332 points.

First time I get more points than you! First 3 rounds were spot on for me, on the Peru one I read something in a car which gave me the clue it was Puno. On the Iceland one I ended up 1.7km away and on the last one I went for California. There was a 12th St. somewhere facing the right directions but I knew it was wrong because it was too short. Would have never guessed Canada tbh. Still 2000 points on that one. 22108 pts at the end.

This was a great, great game! 1. Easy perfect 2. Also managed to find it. It did remind me of Milan a lot and then just a bit of scrolling gave me the right place. 3. Oh man, this one was nuts. My thinking was exactly the same. It's probably Peru. And there is the Lago thing. I didn't bother going throught the sttreets though so I ended up picking the wrong of the two towns. Still pretty great guess. 4. Ok, this one was really a massive guessing game and I was really split between like three different roads, but I ended up picking the right one and got perfect #3! Couldn't believe it. My reaction was same as yours, lol! 5. Ok, I can't believe it but I actually managed to guess Vancouver. It gave me a very Canadian feel. The cars, the trees. I noticed the hill in the background and the whole place seemed not flat so maybe we are in a more hilly area in Canada? So I YOLO'd Vancouver and boom, amazing score. Overall I can't believe how well that went. A whopping 24833. Lots of clutches and guessing. It's kinda incredible how my GeoGuessr thought process is so incredibly similar to yours, probably because I watch your videos so much, lol.

Yes - I got 25000 on this! Imagery has apparently changed in the meantime: #1 similar imagery, was easy to locate with hospital (was labelled on my map) and other signs #2 different-looking imagery, said San Siro on a sign that is also in the video I think, not hard to pinpoint then using #3 got a different image, said Puno on some half-torn posters and on an ambulance, but only "... Puerto" street sign visible - still not hard to locate in Puno [which I have actually visited, but not that particular spot] #4 different imagery, could vaguely make out 1 and 49 on road indicators and then found Isold on the map too #5 different image, but same sign visible (no phone numbers though) - very hard for me, but sloping to the west and faintly seeing a distant body of water there plus the vegetation made me think that this has to be Vancouver or Seattle, but then I could not find East 12th Street in either, so I also looked in Portland, Vancouver, WA, Everett and other places - was about to give up when I eventually found the street more by chance in North Vancouver rather than downtown Vancouver.

The last one looked familiar, then I realized I used to live right there lol. The yellow at the bottom of the license plates is not the license plate itself, it's a sticker. Every year we get a sticker from the insurance company that says the date in which our insurance expires. They won't always be yellow either. RX just means medical prescription or something like that. If you see cedar trees like that, you can pretty much assume it's Vancouver or Seattle. 20533, I should have trusted my gut and gone with Peru and Milan. I clicked off both of those :(

Yay oh yay, this is the first time I've beaten you Tom! Really pleased with myself here, although as a novice (this is maybe my 10th serious go at these), I did allow myself a couple of clicks in each direction on some (but not all) rounds. Here's a little breakdown: 1) I'm playing 4 years after you, and the Sydney round plonked me into a hotel room in a tall building, and not outside the East Sydney Private hospital like you had. I spun around for a while before seeing some notices on the hotel room door - I don't remember the exact wording but it had the name of the hotel and it was something like The City Inn. I then looked out of the window and saw... The Newcastle Bridge?! Huh, so we're in Newcastle. But wait! Is that the Sydney Opera House?! Holy shit yes it is. Went on the map, got my bearings, found a hotel in roughly the right position with the word Inn in its name and clicked. 631 yards away from the target for a tasty 4998 points. Awesome. 2) I had a van in front of me with a .it website on it so guessed I was in Italy (I haven't learnt the URL suffixes yet but am getting better at guessing them!) and after a quick pan round, I just felt like it was Milan. Then I zoomed into a billboard which said Milano on it. Cool. Sussed out the shape of the junction and the traffic lights and a few bits and bobs and found what I thought was the right place on the map. I had missed the whole Something-De-Fappo sign. 1.5 miles off target but 4991 points all the same. Wicked. 3) I didn't have access to the sign with the name of the road on it, but I did see PERU on one of the shop fronts so guessed Lima under the assumption that if I was wrong, I wouldn't be toooo far off. I didn't move in this round (or the Milan one) (or the Sydney one) and I found a road that lines up on the map with potential mountains in the right places. Not a zillion miles off - 533 miles off in fact, and my worst scoring round with 2717 points. Pfff. 4) I'm not even sure how I worked out this was Iceland - maybe it was the .is suffix on the website. I allowed myself two clicks south to read the road sign better - this helped! I guessed Reykjavik (surely nowhere else in Iceland has big roads like that?!) and found a junction that looked similar enough, knowing I wouldn't be too far away as long as my Reyjkavik hunch was correct. Boom, 1.2 miles away, 4993 points. Well chuffed. At this stage obviously you were doing brilliantly and I thought I'd come in behind you after missing out in Peru. BUT! 5) Something told me it was Canada. I do not know what that something was. Maybe it was the mountains in the background. Anyway, I saw the address (206 E 12th St) and then cheated a tad by nipping East for a couple of clicks. And then Jackpot - a Canadian flag! Woohoo! After that, for the first time ever, I actually applied myself and remained patient while exploring the main cities in Canada. During this time I learned where the French cities are, and where the grid-like cities are. It's great how this game educates you so much about all the geography you never learnt before. In the end I found myself back in Vancouver, frustrated now as I could not find 12th St but then.. I dunno what happened. Did I just say fuck it what's in North Vancouver? Maybe. Anyway, it turns out that what's in Vancouver is E 12th St and a mini roundabout and a perfect score for little old me. Wahey! Extremely chuffed with this after a miserable day with a sore throat and crap weather in the middle of summer and a final score of 22699. Woohoo!! Can I beat that? I reckon so, yeah, but I bet I go back to crappy old 15000s (and less) before I do. Great stuff as always Tom, cheers for being a top fella :D

Ended up with 17952. Round 1: Lots of good signs here, ended up with 5000 Round 2: I figured it was Italy based on the language. I saw Disneyland Paris sign, so I assumed it had to be a city in Italy near Paris. I picked Turin instead. Round 3: I couldn't read those tiny blurry signs that said Peru. I saw one of the newspapers was called Los Andes which helped narrow it down for me. I picked a point in Lima. Round 4: The language and the .is tld pointed me to Iceland. Reykjavik seemed like the only area that was built up enough to match what I was seeing. I spent a long time trying to find those building, but finally just ended up picking a larger north/south road that looked similar and ended up fairly close. Round 5: Not a lot to work with. I spent most of my time trying to figure out if I'd ever seen that area code before. I ended up picking Milwaukee. Way off. Canada never even crossed my mind.

25000 :-) It was interesting to see how nearly all the Streetview imagery/mapping has been updated in the last 18 months. That made r3 slightly easier, since I could see that the other street was called Av. del Puerto, which made me think of Lake Titicaca; and in r4 some of the business names are now on the map. I was slightly surprised you didn't get r5 - it felt like the Pacific Northwest, and if you zoom into Vancouver you can see quite a few roundabouts, which I know are rare in the US. Any road up, thanks for inspiring me to get a no-moving 25k.

The view of the white van was a well of information, but Rx is not it. Rx is a Latin derived code for Prescription. Home healthcare is a prescribed medical service. Behind the van we can see the sign for another building called Cedar Manor. Maybe the patient receiving home care lives there. Cedars tell us right away that we are on the West Coast of North America, in BC, Washington or Oregon. The phone number on the van starts with 604, which is an area code for Vancouver and surrounding areas. The vista at the end of the hill looking down and west is not snow, but the sea.

Overall: 21271/25000. Solid game. Round 1: 5000. Saw the Sydney bus immediately. Then I found the "Vaucluse" sign. Since signs usually are for roads that lead TO a place (as opposed to indicating that we are there itself), I started searching south of Vaucluse in Sydney for a Williams St. Eventually I found it, and then I looked for a Robinson St and got it bang on. One of the best rounds I've ever had in An Urban World. Round 2: 3559. Saw the Italian, saw "Piazza Castello". Wasn't sure if it was Rome or Milan. I zoomed in on both and found Piazzas everywhere but not this one. Went with Rome, was Milan. Can't complain. Round 3: 2714. Found the blurry sign that said "La nueva sonrisa del Peru", so I started looking near the mountainous regions of Lima. I looked for Jr Tacna everywhere but I couldn't find it. I guessed in the southern part of Lima in the end. Absolutely shite guess but there was no additional info so I guess that's the best I could have hoped for. I didn't think we were that close to water... impressive detective work on your end! Round 4: 5000. Saw the .is website, guessed Iceland. Zoomed in and started looking for a highway running N-S near Reykjavik with the city to the north and the west. None of the yellow dual-carriageways seemed to be populated with stores, so I started looking for white ones. Eventually I found a suitable one the same way you did. Round 5: 4998. Car said evo dot ca, so we were in Canada. Also saw "EAST 12TH STREET" so we were in a city, probably either Toronto or Vancouver (since they both speak English). Toronto seemed to use only named streets/avenues while the northern part of Vancouver indeed uses numbered streets. So I searched for 12th St E and zoomed in. The roundabout was clearly to our east, so I guessed about halfway to the west of it. But I wasn't sure which of the two roundabouts it was. Turns out it was the further one, so I got close but no cigar.

17:06!!! I searched over 30 minutes for Jr. Tacna. Found it in a bunch of towns all over Peru (btw, there is a banner on a building saying Peru, you missed it.) Then I kind gave up and settled on Huancayo or so. I din't 'Guess' yet and watched your video a bit further and you first mention Puno. And I'm thinking "Puno... Puno! I don't think I checked Puno" So I go in and FIND IT!!!! You wizard! Then I go back to your video and you zoom in very shortly on Puno. 17:06, your cursor is literally on the spot!!! I'm thinking NO WAY!!!! But to my satisfaction, you do zoom out again and waist (only) 4 minutes searching. At least that tells me you are half human. ;) But you find it as well. Congrats!

RX generally means pharmacy, but sometimes it can more broadly mean healthcare in general. When I saw the phone number on the van with the 604 prefix I was screaming "Vancouver!" at my monitor but obviously you didn't hear me. I'll try louder next time. Maybe when you're done with license plates you can move on to telephone area codes! Kidding (sort of) as there are hundreds of them throughout North America. But it might be worth adding that to your list of things to pay attention to and keep track of, as its very common for commercial vehicles and buildings over here to have phone numbers written on them. Some prefixes like 800-, 855-, 866-, 877-, and 888- aren't area specific but most are.

Round 1: Easy peasy. 5000 Round 2: Figuring out it was Italy was easy enough, but I'm not good at identifying cities without something obvious. Even though I knew it almost certainly wasn't Venice, I got baited when I saw neighborhoods named Castello and San Marco next to each other. 4196. Round 3: On the hill to the north, there appeared to be some sort of pattern that reminded me of the Nazca lines. I zoomed in on Nazca and found a north-south street named Tacna. I guessed there. 3409 Round 4: Obviously Reykjavik. What kills me is I was literally considering guessing what would have been spot on, but I rejected it for some reason I don't remember and guessed elsewhere in the city. 4982 Round 5: Got a Canadian vibe, so I looked in major Canadian cities for numbered streets running east-west. Guessed in Saskatoon. Rejected Vancouver because east-west roads there are avenues, not streets, but the location was in NORTH Vancouver, which I didn't even consider at all. 2138 Total score: 19725
