Tip for geoguessr enthusiasts regarding last round: a satellite dish was visible pointing nearly straight to the sky. The angle at which antennas are directed indicates latitude of the place, as telecom satellites orbit earth in geostationary orbits roughly along the equator. So this satellite dish pointed near vertically was a clear tell-tale of central Africa. Wouldn't have found the exact spot in a million years, though...

Nakhchivan is an exclave of Azerbaijan, which can only be visited by taking a plane from Baku as the land border between Armenia and Nakhchivan is locked off and on both sides due to the ongoing tensions heavily guarded. Nakhchivan is an autonomous region of Azerbaijan since 1990, so even prior to the complete collapse of the Ussr. In contrast to Nagorno-Karabakh there is no real ambition to gain independece however. The Macchu Pichu like looking castle is one of the main tourist attractions in the Republic.

That teeny tiny spot called Tokelau is super interesting actually! Tokelau has a population 1,500 people (fourth-smallest population of any sovereign state) and it is also the first 100% solar powered nation in the world! The reason it looks like that is because it’s comprised of three atolls (ring-shaped coral reefs) so it’s very unique in its geography.
@oliverwilson113 жыл бұрын
It's not sovereign, it's a dependent territory of New Zealand. The UN wants New Zealand to change its status to a self-governing country in free association with New Zealand (like similarly tiny Niue) but for some reason that requires a two thirds vote in a referendum and the two referendums that have been held both narrowly failed to reach the two thirds threshold. So the NZ govt said "we will respect the wishes of the people of Tokelau, who voted against self-governance" even though a large majority voted for it.

16:11 Nagorno-Karabakh war (2020) was when Azerbaijan attacked an area that they claim is their land and obviously Armenia says it's theirs, Azerbaijan taking a chunk of it back. əlinca Qalasi (Alinjia Tower) however was nothing to do with the modern conflict, the weird enclave and that particular part of Armenia stretching down too Iran on the English map is not disputed from my knowledge. This map for England (definitely not what the Google map will look like in Armenia) doesn't show the Nagorno Karabakh area or the Republic of Artsakh in any way not even a doted line etc.

Wow that's got to be my craziest/best game against you Tom. 21,899 points. Round 1: Had a very similar thought process as you, and somehow zoomed into Comoros right away. I couldn't believe I was staring at the right Caldera, but lo and behold, 5000 points. Round 2: Was thinking Norway or Svalbard but ended up matching the spelling of the words to Greenland. Scoured the coast with no luck lol. Ended up just tossing a guess in Nuuk, 3,642 points. Round 3: Was very confused where this could be, ended up thinking the flag was vaguely Armenian which I thought lined up with the surroundings (maybe?). Threw a guess in the middle of Armenia, which was closer to the other Azerbaijan lol. 4,555 points. Round 4: Ahh, Toco. Also started looking around Australia, to no avail. Then thought ahh this is probably those Caribbean islands. 10 minutes later, stumble across Toco feeling very satisfied. 5000 points. Round 5: Funnily enough, I've had this round before but couldn't remember for the life of me where it was. Dug deep into the depths of my memory and ended up guessing in Kampala. 3,702 points. Thanks for the game, I can officially say I've defeated the wizard!

Hi Tom. First of all, thank you for continuing to deliver all this amazing content! I seriously look forward to watching every video you post! Since you have such a big platform, I'd like to humbly request that you use your voice to help all the other non-pro geogussr players out here. I know you're a pro player, so none of this effects you, but for the past few years, there has been a daily challenge that everyone can play (World, 3 minutes per round). In addition to that, everyone gets to play one game of their choosing. In the past day, they have implemented a 10 minute timer. From the time you get on the site, you have 10 minutes to play as much as you want. Any game mode, any map, etc. But you only have 10 minutes to do so. If you play a round and want to stop to zoom in at the end to see where the location actually was, that time counts against your 10 minutes. If you sit on the home page looking at the maps to play, that counts against your 10 minutes. I first found this game over 8 years ago when I was in university and have loved it ever since. One of the fun things to do was to have it drop you somewhere random, and then the goal was to find an airport so you could "fly home." Since then almost everything about the game has changed. I understand they need to make money, but putting this timer on the website (not just a single game) ruins the experience for every non-pro player, and I humbly request that you use your voice to help speak out against it, to help push them to implement some other system that still allows non-pro players to actually play the game. Thanks again for everything you've been doing for the community, and I can't wait for the new straight line mission coming up! Cheers!

21,042 pts! Round 1: Exactly the same thought process, found that lake thingy in Comoros and got 5000pts Round 2: Figuring out it was Greenland was easy, ended up just going to Nuuk Round 3: Again, very similar thought process and I thought the flag was Azerbaijan. And what's funny is that I went into the exact same wrong location as Tom and my reaction after that was also "wait what? what country is that?" :D Round 4: I did exactly what Tom. Started searching the pacific islands, didn't find anything and went to the Caribbean, thought the same about the names and just as I'm about to go back to the pacific and make a guess I see Toco, 5000pts. Round 5: This was just a guess, somewhere in Africa below the equator. Went in to Tanzania. I've learned from this channel how to play geogussr, not perfectly, but just like the GeoWiz himself!

About round 3: Going by the sign, you knew the island had to be at least 27 km long (the nearest notable town/village was 27 km away). That may have helped, at least a bit, as it suggests that you're on a rather big island.

You handily beat me this time starting from the first round. On the first round I just couldn't connect that hat to Arabic origin, even though I swear I've seen them before, so ended up guessing Fiji and got only 2 points. Second round I was immediately thinking either Svalbard or Greenland, and after noticing the flag it was just a matter of finding the correct spot, which I eventually did. On third round I unfortunately missed the flag, but somehow still got the general area correct by guessing in northern Iran. 4th round started similarly as you, thinking it would be somewhere in the Pacific, but the naming wasn't adding up, so quickly switched to Caribbean and fairly quickly found the correct spot. Last round had to throw another wild guess. Saw the cross in the building in the background and I think correctly identified the text to be French, but didn't have much to go after in addition to those clues, so ended up incorrectly disregarding Africa south from the equator and threw my guess in the middle of Cote d'Ivoire. Finished the challenge with bit over 15k points, which isn't all that bad, tho my guesses were all over the place. The Nagorno-Karabakh war that you are probably thinking of at around 16:00 minutes in the video was not over that area. Nagorno-Karabakh itself is a mostly Armenian populated enclave inside Azerbaijan, slightly east from that Armenian panhandle. Nakhchivan, where round 3 was located, is an autonomous republic within Azerbaijan and has been part of Azerbaijan since their independence from USSR.

When it comes to judging distances on the map, it really matters on what altitude you are. Because the map is more stretched on higher altitudes, so the distance on the map might seem a lot larger than in the streetview picture. The Greenland round was a good example of this.
@nachomc2223 жыл бұрын
Got 21.371 did perfect scores in Comoros and Trinidad and Tobago (got this last one quite fast as looked straight away into the Caribbean islands), got quite close in Greenland although it was the next town and fucked it up in Azerbaijan (I put Afghanistan :() chose Rwanda for the last one which is really lucky as even though I didn't even consider DRC it was really close. It was the first time I could beat you, even if I was too lucky I'm proud of myself haha
@awetails3 жыл бұрын
Its so funny to see him notice the same things and make similar deductions when playing along, for example the Toco due to signs being english and the sun being almost right above you which meant we are probably near equator , I went immediately to countries around Venezuela, but I was looking on the mainland. Then I realized that it said lighthouse which I would imagine was probably on a nearby islands and got lucky on my first try. Fucked up the rest though :D

Slowly making my way through all of Tom's videos and almost couldn't believe it when Toco/Matelot popped up here. There's definitely a mixture of English, Spanish & Native American in the town names in Trinidad and it has a South American looking landscape with lots of greenery.

I've been to the DRC and instantly figured it had to be somewhere near Kive. Trinidad I checked the Caribbean first so it wasn't too bad. Comoros I found with a similar idea as Tom, ocean to the north and the men are too dark for the Mediterranean so a few islands checked and Comoros was obvious. Azerbaijan I did almost exactly what Tom did but knew about the region near Turkey and found it from geography. 20,000 points and I went with Faroe because I swear I have seen nearly that exact village in a Faroe village. The bright solid color buildings wasn't as unique as I thought.

The borders between Armenia and Azerbaijan you see on the map are the same ones that existed during Soviet times and correspond to Azerbaijan's claim. The recent war was over Nagorno Karabakh, not the Nakhchivan exclave. This is the area where you see bilingual Armenian and Azeri text on the map. Azerbaijan now controls most of that area with Russian peacekeepers controlling a small remaining part. Azerbaijan also won a concession for a corridor to Nakhchivan.

I am happy to have had a lot of the same thoughts as Tom (even though I did not get the perfect scores): 1) Actually looked at Comores, but ended up on Madagascar. 2) Also went for the south end of Greenland after having checked the right area. 3) That one wasn't the same thoughts as I went for northern India. 4) Went for Fiji (not that far from American Samoa as Tom mentioned, but the names sounded more right and I believe Fiji drive on the left). 5) Also went for Mozambique. In the end my points were far worse than Tom though :D

Sorry to be that guy but a caldera is a type of volcano and not just the name of the volcanic crater. Sometimes after a very large volcano erupts the empty magma chamber collapses and the ground falls down which makes the bowl shape. Again sorry. Also excellent video

The exclave of Azerbaijan is known as Nakhchivan and it is an autonomous republic owned by Azerbaijan that has exchanged hands between many empires over its history. The recent conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan is the Nagorno-Karabakh region, which sits entirely in Azerbaijan but has long been claimed by both nations for various regions.

Hi, Tom! Can I ask you a question, if it's possible to tell the distance/zoom level on the "guess-map", because I often make really bad guesses when I just get the zoom of the map horribly wrong. Normally a map will have a bar that indicates how long a mile/kilometer would be on the mini map.

I don't know if there is a way to tell, as I've never heard him mention it. Also, I've seen him use the number of houses along a street to guess how far along he is, so I'm not sure if there is a scale like you mention.
