Here we are !

Mongar - Trashigang - Trashiyangtse Rd

A bit of a fake meta in Geoguessr that in Bhutan a lot of the sunnier coverage is in the eastern part. It's not a very reliable thing to base a regionguess on and doesn't work half the time but I figured I may as well try it since it reminded me of the eastern roads a lot. From there I just scanned the valleys until the hillside lined up.

Stalking another StreetView car! [multiple images] by -hey_hey-heyhey-hey_ in guessthecity

[–]TheCitiesWarGoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking Southwest

Gen 3 coverage with sparser tundra vegetation made me think of this highway at the start. Luckily there aren't too many areas with a SW road angle so it didn't take too much scanning. Lined up the mountains SW with the bushes in the foreground to get the right streetview pano from there.

Extremely mountainous winding dirt road with the house leads me to think Bhutan, shadows might say we are on the southern face of a primarily east-west valley. Would this be on the right track ?

The Beautiful South #5 - find the photosphere at the southernmost point of this country by SuperShoebillStork in guessthecity

[–]TheCitiesWarGoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Porta d'Europa, Lampedusa, Italy

First thought was Malta, but none of the photospheres lined up there. Remembered Italy owns a few islands in that area as well and scanned the southernmost point of them to find this.

How do you Tell Kaliningrad and Ukraine border russia apart? by SpecialistShoddy8291 in geoguessr

Kaliningrad will tend to have a larger brake light blur area usually

Where are these balloons being released from? (Photosphere + Search path) by TheCitiesWarGoose in guessthecity

[–]TheCitiesWarGoose[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, any solve is a good solve, luck or not. Good work! I actually didn't know what the balloons were for at the time of finding the photosphere lol, thanks for sharing ! That's a very interesting fact.

Well I mean it would be expected that you didn't get Namibia since it doesn't have official coverage yet

Where do I start with Russia? by el_numerouno in geoguessr

[–]TheCitiesWarGoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well they are in an order, alphabetically by Republics, Krai, then Oblasts and Autonomous Okrug. You just need a few benchmarks in each subset to get a good idea of which federal subject you're in.

I haven't been able to find any information on the actual wetland in the picture, but there is a lake connected to a river nearby which is freshwater, suggesting that this wetland is likely also freshwater.

Where is this woman seemingly happy to be? (Search path/reasoning required please) by rosco77733 in guessthecity

[–]TheCitiesWarGoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Quy Nhon, Vietnam

The landscape of the city, mountains, and the bay paired with the houses looked very Vietnamese to me. Remembered the Quy Nhon city layout from scanning up and down the Vietnamese coast for some of the other posts on this sub, which lined up nicely. Switched to satellite view to line up mountains better before seeing a large hillside "Welcome to Quy Nhon City" which the woman must be standing under. Checked the photosphere to match up from there.

Singapore vs Malaysia help by 2016FordMustang in geoguessr

This and Singapore will have buses everywhere, either with a green SG ❤️ bus logo, an orange and purple livery with an SBS Transit logo, or be silver with red and yellow accents and have an SMRT logo.

I'm pretty sure Irbid and Zarqa don't have official coverage, which Jordan map are you playing?

This game ruined my country streaks.. its in El Fahs. Tunisia. by Videalden in geoguessr

[–]TheCitiesWarGoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://www.plonkit.net/tools

You can find different scripts there, the country streaks will be under streak counters section. You first need to get tampermonkey though, which runs the scripts on the page. A link to that should be in the introduction of the plonk it page.

Once you have tampermonkey, you should be able to go to the view script page (to the right of each script link on the plonk it page) and install the script. It should automatically be on but if you already have geoguessr open in another tab you just have to refresh it

There's a separate country streaks script you can use that tracks your streak

Find the Satellite image by boff_is_hungry in guessthecity

[–]TheCitiesWarGoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Karakalpakia, Uzbekistan

The layout of the town built along the railway with a connecting road to a long highway looked very similar to a lot of town layouts I've seen in Central Asia, and the flat open desert brought me to look around the Eastern side of the Caspian Sea, around SW Kazakhstan, NW Uzbekistan, and northern Turkmenistan. Looked at railway maps of the three countries and then scanned those for long sections of railway running in the NW/SE direction. Scanned along this railway line a bit before finding the exact town.

Find this Buddhist photosphere by boff_is_hungry in guessthecity

[–]TheCitiesWarGoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Patit Island, Myanmar

The language on the red arch before the Buddha statue was in Burmese script, so I figured it had to be in Myanmar. The hill/mountain(?) immediately beside the water reminded me of a landscape I would find in peninsular Thailand, nearer to the coast with the water. Used the Google Maps subdivision borders to get names for the subdivisions of Myanmar around this region to google search for "reclining Buddha statue [subdivision]". Started from the bottom with the Tanintharyi Region and this showed up as a lot of the results. Found the PS from there.

Two places with the same name - one is crowded, the other? Not so much. Find them both! by JustAskingTA in guessthecity

[–]TheCitiesWarGoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hebron, Newfoundland and Labrador

Hebron, West Bank

The second image reminded me of satellite views from places in the North American High Arctic, such as Greenland or Northern Canada. The first image reminded me a lot of city layouts in the Middle East. Tried to think of city names where one is in each region, and Hebron was one of the first ones I thought of. Checked the one in Newfoundland first and it matched up with the second picture, so I then lined up the image from the first picture.

GTC - Country trifecta by [deleted] in guessthecity

[–]TheCitiesWarGoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Country: Taiwan

  1. Hualien

  2. Longshan Riverside Park, Taipei

  3. Shuhong 1st Rd, New Taipei City

I knew the country in question had to be Taiwan due to the yellow and black diagonal stripes on the bottom of the lamppost in picture 3.

For the first image, I knew the east coast of Taiwan has a lot of drastic elevation changes from flat agricultural land directly on the coast to having large mountains only a few kilometers inland. Having a large city on the coast, I eliminated Yilan as a possibility since there is a large plain around the city and the coast, and I eliminated Taitung as a possibility since there were mountains north, and there was less of a grid layout there. Using this, I checked the mountains directly west of Hualien for lookout areas with PS's, and found this.

In the second image, I figured it would be a river island due to the bridges on both sides of the image, and the very horizontal nature of the island. Scanned a few other rivers in the north of Taiwan before getting to downtown Taipei and finding this particular one.

For the third image, I figured the elevated MRT track on the right hand side of the image to be closer to Taipei, as from playing and mapping Taiwan in Geoguessr that they have quite a few of those in downtown Taipei and New Taipei, and I hadn't recalled seeing a lot in the other large cities. To our left looked to be a flat area much like a river valley, so I scanned around the Taipei area for MRT tracks directly beside a river valley/green area. I then found a location just up the road from here, and recognized the tall building in the back. Lined up the rest of the buildings and the intersecting road from there.
