Welcome back to another GeoGuessr video! In this one, I will tell you 10 tips that I personally use when playing GeoGuessr that I think you will find very useful as well! Let’s go!
Sun Direction
The first tip is quite basic but still very useful. It is – take a look at which direction is the sun. To do that you set the compass needle horizontally right here on the left side and have a look in the sky where is the sun. White means that it is to our south, red means that it is to our north. If the sun is to the south it means that we are in the northern hemisphere, above the equatorial line. If the sun is to our north it means that we are in the southern hemisphere. Keep in mind that this method is not 100% correct. It depends on various factors like the season, the time of the day. But I would say like 90% of the time you can use this method to determine whether you are in the northern or in the southern hemisphere.
Colombian License Plates
Tip number two is about Colombian license plates. If you see yellow license plates in South America it means that you are in Colombia. Most cars will have yellow plates. Some cars like trucks will have white plates though so keep that in mind. Most plates will be yellow so that’s a good indication to tell the south American countries apart.
Colombian Cross
The third tip is also about Colombia and it is what we call the Colombian cross. Columbian signs have this white cross on their back. As you can see all of these signs have a white cross and it is a good indication that you are in Colombia. It is useful in rural locations where there are no cars around and you can’t use the license plates to tell Colombia apart.
Brazilian Signs
Tip number four is also about signs. This time we are talking about Brazilian signs. As you can see the Brazilian sign backs are black and they also can have a white cross but it looks different than the Colombian cross and you shouldn’t usually mistake them. Especially with the black back of the sign.
Chilean Road Lines
Tip number five is about Chilean road lines. In Chile the road lines as you can see they all are white. However, in other countries South American countries that are you mostly will have the middle line yellow, so that’s another good indication. Keep in mind though that sometimes Argentina can have all-white lines as well. But Argentina can usually be told apart by the black car.
The Black Car
Speaking about the black Argentinian car, that’s tip number six. In South America, you will see black car mostly for Argentina, Uruguay, and Peru. Those are the three countries that mostly have black cars with some exceptions of course. If you see a kind of European-looking landscape with a black car, it’s basically either Argentina or Uruguay.
Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos
Thailand is the only of these three countries that drive on the left side so if you see a right-hand drive it is Thailand. In Cambodia we are driving on the right side, however, the license plates are white on the cars. So it is Cambodia. And in Laos also driving on the right side however most of the license plates will be yellow. So you can use these tips to distinguish between these three countries.
Indonesian and Malaysian License Plates
To tell Malaysia and Indonesia apart we can look at the license plates. Both of these countries have black license plates with white letters, however, in Malaysia, most of the license plates have two sections – one and two. Some have three but most of the most licensed plate examples have two sections. Which you can see right here – one and two. Even though the plates are blurred out you can still see that these plates are Malaysian. In Indonesia, they have three white sections as you can see on these cars. And in these examples also as you can see – one, two and three. So even though the plates are blurred out you can still mostly see how many white sections there are therefore determine which country that is.
Black Malaysian Signs
Another way to tell Malaysia and Indonesia apart is that in mainland Malaysia they have these black signs on their poles. They can sometimes be red as well, I think. Mostly black though. And as you can see on this pole they also have it. If you see those signs on the poll it means that you are most likely in mainland Malaysia.
South Africa and Australia
And for the final tip, I’ll tell you how to tell south Africa and Australia apart using their road lines. In South Africa, they have the sidelines yellow. However, in Australia, all of the lines are white with some very rare exceptions. So if you see all of the lines white then it is Australia. Also in Australia, you will mostly see some bollards here and there next to the road. In South Africa, there will be no bollards.
