It hit me somewhat personally. I have been learning geography and history for a lot of time and the best guess of mine for that was Wien or Copenhagen and after tom said that I realised I've never actually seen even a photo of Amsterdam.

[@strict89]

If there any chance that Tom reads this, regarding the compass, in the bottom right corner of the screen, near Terms of Use it says who took the "photosphere". If it says someone's name or some 3rd party company name that would mean that somebody most likely took it with their smartphone and there is hardly any chance that compass would be correct on that one. But if it says like "2019 Google" it means that this is taken from regular Google street view and you can trust the compass there.

A tip for next time. A Jerusalem by-law from many tens of years ago requires all buildings to be covered or mostly covered in a limestone which soon became widely known as 'Jerusalem stone' as a way to keep a common look around the city. Tel Aviv (and the rest of the country) is more characterized by the buildings covered in stucco. BUT, in the last couple of tens of years, new urban construction around the country might also be built with 'Jerusalem stone' for design purposes.

Tip about recognizing Jerusalem: the stones you see in the last challenge are really special to the city, you won't see it so often in other places. Buildings in Tel-Aviv have a more early 20th century to modern look to them.

[@spoperty4940]

the jerusalem stones are not exclusive to jerusalem at all, but when all the buildings are made of non-processed white bricks or are covered with a non-procesed plaque of a white brick and you know you are in israel, its likely in jerusalem but not guranteed. and buildings in tel aviv have a german architecture(Bauhaus) popularized by german jews fleeting germany and seeking refuge in tel-aviv,palestine during the british mandate which later turned into tel-aviv Jaffo,israel

Fourth round I searched around western coast of Africa, few Pacific islands and couple countries in the Caribbean, but didn't find anything that would correlate, so eventually guessed St Lucia and ended up with 50 odd points. There wasn't much to lose on the last round anymore, so just went with a quick guess in the middle of Jerusalem and got almost perfect score from that too. But because of the 4th round, ended up with couple 100 less than you.

Meanwhile, Jerusalem was the only one I got 5000 on :D looked for streets that had the same direction, and the first one I zoomed in on had the park and side-road. Pure luck

[@jonahs92]

I also got a perfect score, but I live literally five minutes from that spot, so it was kinda obvious to me 😂

[@pineapplesareyummy6352]

I can't believe you are this good at Geoguessr and not even know the names of all the capitals. I played this game a long time ago when it was free to play and I did exactly what you did, and I was pleased with myself I was able to track down locations down to a few yards. This was probably 5 years ago (?) I think the game is no longer free but not sure.

Well I’m pretty proud with myself to have gotten 4 perfect scores! Just missed the Sierra Leone round. Ended up going for Libreville...

"It's Amsterdam, for those of you who don't have brain cells" that felt like a personal attack ahahha

[@nircohen6283]

Just a tip, in tha last round, this kind of stone that was used in the house is only used in Jerusalem :)

[@romanh2142]

interesting tip, In Ukraine the fences and small bridges are often painted in national flag colours (blue(top) and yellow(bottom)

If Tom reads this: When you are looking for a capital city on the map the marker is actually different if you hover at the right distance. Around 22:03 when you are zooming into Israel you can tell that Jerusalem is the capital and not Tel-Aviv as Jerusalem's marker has a black dot in the middle that Tel-Aviv's marker doesn't have. But as soon as you zoom in too far those city markers disappear. The city names are still there but without the marker and if a city is written in capital letters or not has nothing to do with it actually being the capital or not but only with it's size.

[@TomasWatchReviews]

this was a lot of fun to watch. Something new.

[@leomayer8920]

Tom: "Let's see if we can find a flag!" Also Tom: Completely ignores the blue and yellow painted fence in the exact same second

[@puyjoven1873]

Tom thanks for the play-along! I doubted myself on Amsterdam and Kiev and just like you I guessed Tel Aviv too instead of Jerusalem that's why I only got 16k points.

[@Smurrei]

Me: Ahh yes that must be Venice! Tom: It's Amsterdam for those of you who don't have too many braincells Me: :(

[@whereisalice7696]

Wow! Thank you for telling about this map. Just brilliant

[@vrilsor007]

11:00 imagine this picture today.. such sadness

[@Luka-lw5tl]

Cry more. Z

[@andyburchardt2055]

Managed a perfect score on the last one using the compass and street layout with the roundabout just visible to the north. Guessed Caribbean on the Sierra Leone one though, so still finished 200 behind you. Great map and video though!

[@Although...]

That last israeli place almost surely must have been Jerusalem beacuse of the stone all the buildings were built of. There are few laws that Israel still has ffrom british times. And one of them is a regional law prohibiting covering buildings with anything else than the local type of stone. It was created to cultivate the tradition and preserve the historical landmark of stone Jerusalem. So this is why you can almost certainly pick Jerusalem right away as you see many buildings built of this specific stone. Also Tel Aviv doesn't really have so uneven areas.

[@AwesomeBrixx]

I actually really enjoyed watching this video! You should do it again, it was very fun!

[@noo4449]

Btw Bata isn't the capital of Equatorial Guinea. Capitals are marked with a dot inside the circle marking the city

[@WhiteLama]

I’m quite impressed that he managed to zoom straight in on Volodymyrsk church in Kiev without really trying.

[@Nick-hm9rh]

Tom:" couldn't be easier" Me:" yup thats londo..." Tom:" Amsterdam" Me: " ...amsterdam yea obviously "
