This format is really fun, hope to see more of it.

2:10 - people drive around in normal cars. (points to an Aston Martin)..... 4:52 - My personal advise - I´ve never seen those yellow signs that you just zoomed in on, anywhere but in Sweden. Some other yellow signs might occur in Finland. I´d love if any Swedes or Finns could either confirm or deny this. This new take on the game is quite fun, although most of us won´t have traveled too far from home. You could do a Europe one, and completely ace it though.

To clear up some of the confusion about the strange flag at 6:53, it is not uncommon to see versions of the US flag with different logos/colors to support different causes. One of the more common ones is fans of various US football teams (especially college football teams) having versions based on their favorite team. The flag at 6:53 is orange and has a Tennessee Volunteers logo in the corner (which is a university located in Knoxville near where the location was). This probably isn’t helpful information to know for Geoguessr, but I thought it was kind of interesting.
