I was in the same region and of course it's always fucking Brazil or South-Africa when you think you're in Australia, and vice versa

I was just as tense, thinking that if he had got it right I would have unsubbed due to him being a witch!

ah you got me excited. There's a Camel's Hump in Vermont, but this was not that

I'm dead haha I was saying to myself, Australia would have put a safety rail around the rock to stop people falling off. Plus the trees looked different to the gums that scatter the land

@@boonjabby as an Aussie I was near shouting at the screen that they are not Australian trees lol

i think he has a video like that

@@pepeyufera97 I think the idea is to have both insane and terrible guesses mixed into one video for us to guess, but maybe there already is a video like that that I'm not aware of.

@@paulshin4649 don't think there is. Would make for a fantastic video though!

GREAT idea!

@@paulshin4649 exactly! sorry if I didn't explain myself properly.

I love you king

I feel like this “Get in” was made just on the edge of deciding not to say it. A very interesting get in and shows the diversity of the delivery and situational circumstances of Tom’s “get in”s

@@lanceanthony198 beautiful analysis. Took the words right out of my mouth

@@noot_2 I’m simply a humble servant

somehow during some of his most impressive finds, no "get in" is to be found. however sometimes they just come and get you out of nowhere.

I HATE people that HATE other people. The comment I respond to did not spread HATE. That is good. BUT! I get a lot of HATE comments on my amazing videos and I HATE it. Please don't start spreading HATE. Do I have to HATE you too, dear v

@@AxxLAfriku what

@@puccfusi3966 Don't mind him, he's just your local nutbag. He comes round here often

"there's usually something below us to look at" straight fax.

@@AxxLAfriku I've just looked at your channel and you're not well.

Those people are quite Spanishy!

@@hobbsidian1756 Spanishy had me cracking up. I think he forgot the word Hispanic

@@Michael-kp4bd Perhaps women don't like that word anymore these days, in favour of Herpanic 😀

@@thany3 Exactly. Spanishy on the other hand, gender neutral. A perfect replacement.

he's kinda right tho, those are Araucarias, it's a type of pine tree you find all over the temperate parts of the southern hemisphere from southern Brazil to Australia.

Hey man, love playing the map - but are any of the compass directions correct? Never know when to bother putting trust in it.

@@S-Nova0 Never really put trust in it. They could be correct, but many are wrong sadly and there is no way I personally can fix it.

Hey, I have a drone location, how do I send it to you

I think it was your map that I nicked La Geria from to use for GeoPrix!

I just played along with this one for the first time and I liked it a lot (7,969 points). Just out of curiosity. Do you know how people can get 5000 points at locations like the northern Brazil one? Have they got that location before and did they remember or do they reverse engineer them in some way? I can't even imagine how I would get 5000 points there when I'd try to cheat :p

There's a great map called "Interesting photospheres in obscure countries" he should try out for one of these.

@@jonssonftw He’s done a video on the obscure countries map but we need more on it.

It'd only take about 4 hours haha

too many streets mate

Much too urban to do realistically isn't it? I mean maybe theres route that could work I don't know, but such a small place with decent chunk of people living there I assume you would be crossing peoples stuff much too often

Most of the line would just be urban, so it'd be pretty much impossible

Flying there on Sunday

When I see the red-ish ground I always go for brazil. (Unless theres other very distinct clues of course) Paid of this time

I know that the three main countries with red soil are Brazil, South Africa and Australia, and my gut said it was Brazil. However I vaguely remembered someone (GeoPeter I think) saying that in Brazil, if you see red soil it's likely to be south or southeast, so my guess was still pretty far off. Was happy to at least get the country right though!

@@davestephens3246 also uganda

Nunca ia adivinhar que aquilo era a amazônia. Até pensei no centro do Brasil, em uma chapada qualquer.

@@JovemEverton Eu nem sequer imaginei que aquilo pudesse ser aqui no BR. País gigante esse aqui, kkkk

There are lots of Araucarias in Brazil too, specially in the Paraná state.

Was that a Monkey Puzzle tree right below the drone, too? That one's only in that one part of Chile. I've only seen it in Geoguessr twice.

No wonder why I thought it was a picture of the Jurassic Park set.

Actually, the biggest Araucaria tree forest is in southern Brazil. Different species though. Araucaria araucana x Araucaria angustifolia.

Interesting that he got the sun to be from the north even though the shadows on the ground were clearly coming from the "south" according to the compass. Apparently the compass was wrong, but pretty lucky for Tom.

Great map, somehow got 20,811 on it on my first try with two insane guesses in Taipei and Toronto. The Busan one is a great detective round!

@@sgtheisenb3rg175 Thanks. I've made a few other maps that may be fun too, check my profile. The biggest issue when creating these "bespoke" map types is when Google imagery changes. Some times when you pick a road location it may change to a photosphere, or when picking a photosphere it changes to something else or even disappears.

that's a whole 33% better!

When he said those trees could be Australian, I, as an Australian, was so concerned cause they looked like the most alien thing to me but I couldn't second guess Tom

Love that he was saying "can't see any huge mountains", as if he was looking for somewhere relatively flat, then zoomed in on the map to the highest mountain in the entire country.

@@mrnickb Was thinking the same thing hahaha

@@theAngusmaster101 The bizarre looking ones are monkey puzzles (Araucaria araucaria) and that national park in Chile is their heartland. We do have native Araucaria species in Australia (even the very closely related Araucaria bidwillii, or bunya bunya), but they don't look quite the same. Bunya bunya are typically found naturally at a more northern latitude (QLD and northern NSW), though they do actually grow just fine at any latitude in Australia when artificially dispersed. Their natural method of dispersion is to drop a huge cannonball-like pinecone from so high up that it penetrates into the ground, so not very _dispersy_ unless they're growing on the top of a hill with a hard landing pad at their base. PS Bunya seeds are edible, so standing under a mature bunya bunya in Jan-Feb is the very ultimate definition of fast food, as it will pass through you in a fraction of a second and satiate you quite permanently.

You sound like a nob

I've also been there

Maybe he would have played rounds not on the record and got a high score then so he was just checking whether that score was from the video

@@Zavstar don't ruin the illusion! haha it was just a little jibe for him not having super human skills to see everything on the screen all at once!

@@cllris .....

As soon as I saw the Araucaria tree (Monkey Puzzle Tree in English) I knew it was somewhere in Chile.

@@posteador I kinda recognized the Araucaria at first glance, but what were the odds that we were actually in Chile.

Haha, I have the same thing when I play Geoguesser, but the other way around. I see a place and think "This could be anywhere! Even here in the Netherlands!" then I see a hill, or a tree I don't know, or how badly the road is maintained and I'm like "This could be anywhere, but not the Netherlands!'

momunt*

Get in there, Tom

Only if it’s a get in in moment

найс ник))

@@Elidan1012 *moment

All that kind of meta data or what not makes it a bit boring imo. Working it out on your own is why it's so impressive and fun to watch.

Pretty scummy tactic and not really in the spirit of the game imo

It is a bit cheap though, deducing based on the landscape/people/building alone is more interesting

The monkey puzzles were a great giveaway! There are actually a couple of Araucaria species native to Australia too. It's a Gondwanan genus and most of the surviving species are endemic to New Caledonia! The monkey puzzle is pretty distinctive though - the only two species that can sometimes look a bit like it from a distance are the candelabra tree (Also S. America) and the bunya bunya (NE Australia), but there were enough examples in the panorama to pretty much rule out funny looking examples of those species. =)

Why would you guess Brazil on the fourth one? Kind of looks nothing like Brazil

I guessed the state of Parana in Brazil for the first one because of the monkey puzzle trees

@@TheMrThe123 The third one, not the fourth. Never been to Brazil, but I do know it's enormous and has a huge variety of different environments (despite Bolsonaro's apparent desire to wipe out most of them!)

@@philroberts7238 sad all the stuff im South America that gets wiped 😞 ever hear about the ancient aztec ruin broken down to build a road?

THAT'S what it was called! For the life of me I couldn't remember the name of the series, but I remember watching that in elementary school for our dinosaur week and loving it.

Nah mate, you live in Chile now!

Tents were blue and white like football top

It's consistently wrong on the drone shots. Tom even managed to get the right result (southern hemisphere) in the first round, even though he judged the sun coming from the opposite direction that the very clear shadows on the ground were showing.

Same, I think the gets too hung up on the compass, which often is messed up on photospheres and these type of drone shots.

@@bhsxc22 Yeah. He has direct experience with the compass being off on the drone ones and then he just forgets it happened. He’s so good at this stuff and then has the randomly weird gaps in memory or understanding.

I thought it was Oz at first, but the photographer's name was Nicolas Artigues.

The lack of safety barriers atop the boulders steered me away from Aus.

I don't this is the pont there. That region of Brazil, in the state of Roraima, they have a different vegetation, called Lavrado. It's not a jungle, but a smaller vegetation, and I guess that is drier as well

That was never part of the Amazon Rainforest... Brazil is a huge country and it has many distinct forests, 2 of the most unique ones in the world, many small forests and rainforests, too. Most of the North region of Brazil is plainly flat and part of the Amazon, not lots of mountains, however, in the northeast there is a place that goes through and beyond the borders of the Guineas, the Cerrado (specifically Lavrado). Cerrado can be found in the Center of the country, too, being the 3rd biggest biome we have.

I highly recommend it. The buildings on top of those rocks are monasteries.
