How to Guess the United States on Geoguessr

[@chadicuschaximus1071]

Zi8gzag and Geoguessr explained have never been pictured in the same room

[@paradoxicalpoet1525]

Geoguessr Explained has the same Z8 as Zi8gzag has too... Honestly I don't wanna sound dumb but I'm starting to suspect that they might be done by the same person. I know that sounds crazy but when you look at the evidence it really adds up...

[@christinep9908]

This is getting old.

[@deepfriedheart9180]

They literally have. They film in the same room 😜

[@ponere3849]

maybe Argentina next?

[@GeoNebula]

Hey Oscar! The plant at 37:22 is the Persian Silk Tree or Mimosa Tree (Albizia julibrissin). It is native to Asia but very common in the southeastern US, and the botanical term for that type of leaf where it is split twice (and looks feathery) is bipinnate. Fire vid as always!

[@geoguessr_explained]

Bipinnate that's the one. Thanks goat

[@alexmackey9990]

Isle of Man please next 👀

[@TheSteve1037]

A video on how to actually practice Geoguessr would be amazingly helpful. It's one see the information and clues, but it would be very helpful to see how to commit them to memory so you can use them in the moment when playing.

[@Pranksty]

Please do India next!

[@dasschnootzgeo8377]

Thanks for the US Plonkit Guide Love! Took me a lot of time to put it together and I have MANY more ideas for tips (mainly more vegetation and infrastructure tips to add to it.) There's also a map on the license plate area of the guide with a link to show which states have fronts or not, just so folks know we didn't forget it in the guide!

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

Whoa you made it? Thank you for your work it’s awesome

[@vbaissait]

What would be great would a video or a series of videos for beginners (or not), to tell apart from two or three or more country that be easily mistaken. Example given: is it USA or Canada ? / is it Japan, Taiwan, Korea or Hong Kong ? / is it Norway, Finland, Denmark or Sweden ? / is it Russia or Ukraine ? / Is it Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia / Is it Mexico, Guatemala / Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein / etc. And would be great to illustrate that with live exemple PS: your videos are fantastic, I recommand them to my OSINT students

[@OntarioTrafficMan]

Another clue to distinguish Canada from the US is spelling: 🇨🇦 Centre 🇺🇸 Center 🇨🇦 Neighbourhood 🇺🇸 Neighborhood 🇨🇦 Harbour 🇺🇸 Harbor However, this isn't 100% dependable. You can sometimes find Canadian spelling in the US (such as "Centre Street" in Boston) and often find US spelling in Canada (especially on private signs)

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

I would love to see you cover Türkiye

[@marc873a]

Mexico 🇲🇽

[@TehOnlyAnd1-pw8ci]

Regarding the US State Highway Shields (which are quite useful on moving or custom NM challenges), the Plonkit Guide is incomplete. Quite a few states also have a secondary state highway network that use different shapes and that show up just as often in rural areas as the primary shields. In some states, they are very learnable; in others, they have the generic round or square shape.

[@kafrabuchai5771]

the reflectors on the ground that are raised are in places that do not get snow plowed, hence the west coast and the southern line.

[@kafrabuchai5771]

The 3 reflectors on power poles in California also appear, occasionally in southern Oregon.

[@helenamaki3379]

Also I haven’t seen many videos from anyone talking about differences between skills that are good for move/no move/nmpz and how to get better at each one

[@ondrejlol]

We have US, so maybe next country Canada? 🤔

[@zackleonard8559]

These videos are great! I've been practicing Africa recently and I can't seem to region guess rural South Africa. I've gotten decent at distinctive places in Africa like western Bots and south western ZA but I'm having a rough time with other areas.

[@johnpauldiodati9421]

10:11 the yellow and blue shields are county roads which display the name of the county on them. You have to zoom super far in to scan for the numbers tho so it’s really only helpful if you know counties

[@evilmorwen]

I've got a theory that for the US/Canada you get most of the benefit by only learning the original area codes (without any of the splits or overlays), which is only the ones with 1 or 0 as the middle digit. These are the ones that would be most long established for businesses

[@mediumjohnsilver]

I use a mnemonic for the states that have state highway markers that use a white disk on a black background - MISSissippi, DELaware, Iowa (IA), KenTUCKy, and New Jersey. “Miss Delia tucked in her brand New Jersey.” 😄

[@xpew75]

24:00 big dead rocky mountains like this are pretty unique to Nevada/western Utah i'd say, in Wyoming they would probably be snowcapped and/or forested. Plus the road texture

[@xpew75]

Also for the seattle one those PNW cities my vibe is that the sides of roads and undergrowths are usually very pine needley/mulchy/brownish red and combined with the vegetation its recognizable

[@Obelisk-hw7ls]

"Nothing sadder then Nevada" rhymes to an Australian if you pronounce both correctly

[@frenchfreys]

US is definitely my favorite country to play too. I may be American and biased but it just feels like the perfect combo of infrastructure stuff with plants and vibes, and no silly car or coverage stuff. Thanks for the video!!

[@elkku4844]

Suggestion: allow us to play the rounds and then watch video to see what we missed.

[@hillarywatchesyoutube]

Malaysia next pls?

[@rmdvto]

Hey zi8zag can you talk about potential 50/50s in each country as part of this series? Like which regions of USA are potentially 50/50 with Canada or Mexico and tips to determine which is which in those scenarios. I sometimes still struggle with the South Africa / Australia 50/50 in certain rural areas 😅

[@alidesrochers1066]

“Pennsylvania and West Virginia both don’t use front plates… cause they touch Ohio” 😂😂😂

[@michardlawman6102]

Telling apart Malaysia from Brunei would be what I need to learn

[@palmtreegal3]

Excited to learn this

[@blob0000]

Can you please add timestamps, I want to be able to return to this amazing video and go to the things I want to check!

[@jarl5817]

You nailed the American pronunciation of "Oregon"

[@smad66]

Oscar please up the bitrate of your recordings. Pretty please

[@Thundergod213]

37:31 are those ferns? or a typical type of ferns, not quite sure though

[@jevux]

now i can finally regionguess america as an american 😪😪

[@deepfriedheart9180]

Do you comment on all of Oscar's videos ?? 😛

[@miallo]

Next episode is Oman? Would be great to take a look at the new coverage!

[@Fons-Hendrickx]

I need to learn my Liechtenstein

[@Erik-ry9dk]

Keep it up man, can we see south america next?

[@deryaisik21]

Turkey would be very fun with so many diverse landscapes

[@felixpawlowski9033]

Germany please!

[@StijnHommes]

I'd like to see an explanation for tiny island nations...

[@GintxD]

this is a BIG video, thanks!

[@helenamaki3379]

Peru next

[@KarthusEnjoyer17]

Could we see Malta and Gozo next?

[@MuriKakari]

LOL. The danger of the no front plate meta- Ohio no longer requires front plates, but that is a very recent change. Ohioans have not bothered to take theirs off or are using them for sports team support plates, and you can always find an Ohioan driving somewhere in the US, especially in states that touch Ohio.

[@bodi3793]

Finally, still hard as heck but helpful

[@cbailey4322]

I live in a state that does not require front plates, but I have one. custom front plates are popular. Could be a favorite sports team, the car dealership, an organization or charity you may support or hobby of the owner. Just a thought to keep that in mind.

[@xpew75]

and conversely I live in a state the requires front plates but I don't have one

[@elfkingz]

Chile next!!

[@MadDi957]

Do Japan please 🥺

[@ozkupelaileenyc4330]

I want Mexico next

[@spiffelofegus]

It looks like he just woke up 😂

[@pefington]

31:20 LIC? Let me tell you about our lord and saviour the major system. In this system, 573 can be encoded into "legume" or "ligma" or "holy kami", for example (you can get creative), which is easier to memorise and associate with a state as a single word or phrase (mental image) than 3 letters. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemonic_major_system

[@shai914]

arg next pls

[@endoline8221]

SAN MARINO NEXT 🔥 🙏

[@marcelohenriquedasilvafons781]

You are so smart, I feel like a donkey watching you

[@ladeedaa]

32:12 all cars should have front plates! The front plate meta is not accurate!

[@gabrielgalvao7562]

how to guess canada next?

[@GintxD]

I think you should add music to these types of videos so it would be more vibey yk

[@GintxD]

Like limerence or something like that

[@williamrudolf7923]

Philippines next

[@Jayko33]

mexico next?

[@tobi437a]

Denmark

[@zethyuen8859]

Malaysia!

[@Aldurrr]

Next one greece!

[@caleb59380]

India next?

[@AndrewHughesMusic]

I'd say the raised pavement markers are not an exact science. I've seen them in Maryland and North Carolina before. A few other random tips I've come up with: spring with red car is pretty reliably central Maine. Lines of apple trees along the road is commonly northern Michigan, especially around Grand Rapids. Also, if the road is really rough-looking and the landscape fits, try Missouri.

[@rensdevries7887]

goat

[@The_Chingster]

Kyrgyzstan Or Kazakhstan Next 🙏

[@endoline8221]

38:20 florida has zero winter coverage afaik

[@johnpauldiodati9421]

Winter doesn’t exist in most of Florida. If it does it lasts 1 week

[@silentbrilliance]

Still asking for Germany. 😢It just looks like one giant blob of sameness to me.

[@falcon_224]

india pls

[@JoonyaaTV]

First🤩

[@OntarioTrafficMan]

I was working on a "Canada vs US traffic signs" video but now if I post it it will seem like I'm regurgitating this video. Something I would add is that on regulatory signs other than stop signs (e.g. Do Not Enter, Yield, Rail Road Crossing, One Way) if there is any text on the symbol you are 100% guaranteed to be in the US, unless the sign is on private property. For warning signs (e.g. 🚸), text makes it more likely to be in the US but you could still find fully-text signs in Canada or fully symbolic signs in the US.

[@habbo159]

Canada next
