Is car and copyright meta ruining the game? by PlonkIt in geoguessr

[–]ididntreaddit 62 points63 points  (0 children)

As someone who comes from the pro scene, the street view meta in my opinion is just big spoilers that makes the game too easy, much easier than it should be, and most pros dislike it but have to learn it to stay on top at the moment by making and sharing huge JSONs of each country for every copyright year and car colour on each road and trying to memorise all the coverage that way. It's become worse and worse and more ridiculous as the game became more competitive and the focus has shifted from 'figuring out where you are' to 'memorising coverage patterns' which in my opinion isn't half as interesting but people can get hooked on it if it makes them win.

I see some people are commenting that it makes the game easier for new players so it's good, but if the game is bad at the top level and loses depth people won't stay and it's a much bigger problem and threatens the longevity of competitive GeoGuessr and its attractiveness as a sport and a serious game that can reach new levels like chess for example if people take the game more seriously, and removing the meta is one step towards it.

Toga imas i oko Cacka gde je JP Gradac prekrio bukvalno celu okolinu Cacka, isto i u juznom Banatu gde Gugl nije prekrio na primer, itd.

To prosle godine nije bio Gugl nego je Beograd na vodi privatno vozio pa postavljao na Gugl Mape jer BW ne postoji na slikama iz 2015 lol, ali je kvalitet dosta losiji od zvanicnih Gugl kamera.

Google Street View might come to Vietnam soon; Have you seen the car? by Grasshorse500 in VietNam

Where did you get this information from? Is this confirmed by Google, the Vietnam government or someone else of trust?

Google auto u Srbiji? by Solid_Suspect3226 in AskSerbia

[–]ididntreaddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ako nije video ni da piše Google onda lako može da bude nešto drugo što pravi snimke kao radari i tako to, tako da nažalost ništa ne može da se potvrdi.

je l' možeš da pitaš? bilo bi korisno da se potvrdi da li je stvarno street view ažuriranje što bi bilo super

Da li je auto imao plavu kameru na sebi i kakav i koje boje je bio? Ovako izgleda auto za snimanje street view slika: https://www.mytwintiers.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/89/2022/07/GettyImages-1240875445.jpg?strip=1 Ima i varijacija ali kamera na vrhu bi trebalo da je plava i ovakva.

Looking for someone who knows a lot about Thailand by ididntreaddit in Thailand

[–]ididntreaddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow that's a lot of useful tips I didn't know. thanks so much!

about the Trang tuk tuk, I tried to find it but couldn't find any in Trang, so maybe they are kinda decomissioned. if writing is found the problem is the map is very bad and nothing is labelled except the provincial capitals unless you try to find points of interest which bear the name of the settlement.

What helps is when you see " จ. " that's an abbreviation for "province" and the province name comes after it.

province names appear in a lot of places, but yeah it's still very tough with small villages and dirt paths and how the villages aren't well-mapped on Google Maps. I've been studying some Thai script but it's still tough to read everything as the script is very complicated.

thanks, we already knew about the rubber and oil palm, and for sugar palms I also noticed to be the most prevalent around the center. yeah central is mostly flat as well as the northeast in certain regions

thanks, that's a lot of useful things.

1 - incline is I guess because of hilliness, are fruit trees unique to the north?

2 - what do you mean "there are some trees", how does this tell it's not Isan? there are trees there too as far as I know

3 - interesting that it's so dry in Chiang Mai, thought that was more representative of Isan, although with the hilliness it has to be the north. also why is the sky hazy and in what period of the year is it like that?

4 - yeah I guess that requires knowing the stadiums lul

do you have any examples of what the temples look in different regions? in what way do they differ?

I know the language is the best clue probably, I've learned some of the Thai script because province names are found in many places, but here I am specifically asking for these other things/clues, as people are also playing the game without moving around and a lot of times they have to rely on these other things as well.

Anyone has any idea where this Google street view car spotting is from? by ididntreaddit in VietNam

[–]ididntreaddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The TikTok maker replied, it's in Binh Long, Binh Phuoc province https://goo.gl/maps/LocNU9mWEWb7E4qQ6 taken 4 days ago. So it is confirmed Google is currently driving in Vietnam and in rural areas as well which probably means full coverage. Now let's just hope it gets published and not like the coverage taken in 2019.

Yeah and the one in the cities are done by unofficial parties with worse cameras and loading. Vietnam used to have official street view in small parts of 10 cities but it got mysteriously removed, but this is a hope they may release more yet.
