- This might be the most pointless and downright shittest game of geoguessr I've ever played, and I got the score to match. Reckon you can beat it? You're probably right. Feel free to play along, but don't come crying to me when you come away with 134 points..
PLAY ALONG:
Play your round, put your marker down, then switch tabs back to UA-cam to watch my attempt and the result. This way you don't ruin the game or the video!

A clue to look for on indoor photos could be the type of wall power sockets.
I screamed "the power socket"!!!
@@mattdaniel6071 Me too!
helps if the location is marked right!
אר
the socket looked a lot like type H which is very confusing as these only exist in israel
Nothing quite as heartbreaking as watching him search for Tin Shed Near Fish Market knowing what’s coming
I was cracking myself up waiting for his inevitable disappointment lol
So many shops on Null Island!
I wondered if he really knew it would be at 0,0 again and just wanted to find it for the sake of it
never was a "fuh koff!" more well deserved.
Yep. Especially after he pointed out it was the same company that uploaded the info in the first place. 🤦🏻♂️😂😂
Looking at a random island in the Pacific and asking: "Who owns that?" Is the most British thing ever 😂
Yeah that was... funny and disappointing at the same time
@@Gwydda u mad cause they won the game of risk?

Iakwe (hello)! I’m Benedict Yamamura ⬅️😁 and I’m from here “the Marshall Islands”. This Google Street-view photo was taken from Arno Atoll back in 2019, using the 360 camera I loaned from Google. Thanks for picking my photo Geowizard.
And thanks Drew Jarrett for showing me this educational UA-cam Channel.
Must have been strange seeing your own photo on here!
Greetings from Australia
lakwe! Nice to hear from someone who actually lived there.
I was shocked he didn’t immediately go for 0,0 when he saw Antec Info on the third round haha.
The funny thing is that neither of the two rounds are actually at 0°N 0°E. I don't know what happened there, but I guess the mapper excluded maps at "Null Island", and looked for the weirdos that randomly lie 200 km away from it.
exactly what I would have done.
0,0 Yh
My thought is they some how format the the coordinate differently then google maps and when they submit it shortens. Like 35.678°N 63.546°W turned into a 3.5678°N and 6.3546 °W
@@user-white007 thats gotta be the reason, similar to how all the date time bugs are being caused by locale issues
First round reaction had a very "my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined" energy. Second time it happened was just gold
A masterpiece of foreshadowing. He knew that the photo was uploading by the same company. What did he expect to happen?
@@renerpho If I was him, I had honestly tried to just click the same place in the Atlantic, since finding the right place seemed like a waste of time. Then again, to me finding the exact place always seems like a waste of time xD I'm more of a right-area guesser xD
It looks like it defaulted to the prime meridian, but not really?
@@renerpho - I mean maybe not all of their photos have the incorrect location... it seems they probably ARE all wrong after the second one, but yea.
They also weren't quite the same location, interestingly. Or even just on either the same latitude or longitude.
I was so damn happy when I actually found the Air Cool Service building, only to rage quit when instead of getting 5000, I got middle of the ocean off the coast of Africa.
Hahaha, now that would have been great to have recorded!
Schweppes is the least British sounding brand name ever haha.
😂😂
From Wiki - Schweppes is a beverage brand that originated in the Republic of Geneva and that is sold around the world. It sold the world's first soft drink, bottled soda water, in 1783.
@@unclegreybeard3969 and somehow I've never heard of it
To be fair:
. In 1843, Schweppes commercialised Malvern Water at the Holywell Spring in the Malvern Hills, which was to become a favourite of the British Royal Family
And did merge with Cadbury’s
@@HazewinDog really? It's pretty popular here in Italy, I thought it was a worldwide beverage lmao
"tin shed near fish market" was the main redeeming moment of this video. just when I finished laughing hysterically, I heard "Jamshedpur" and completely lost it again 😂😂
Yeah.... cracked me up as well
Followed by him still trying to find the actual place even though it was always going to be in the middle of the ocean :')
that just was hilarious lmao
🤣🤣🤣
Personal favourite was the diagonal road called diagonal rd
For the 3rd round, I noticed that the name of the photographer was the same as the first one so I took a leap of faith and placed it at the same dead spot as the first was. And I was rewarded
I was begging tom to do the same
Was surprised he didn't do the same
Yup, same ahaha, was laughing so hard when he didn't :D
Same - I also figured it wouldn't be in the awful maps category if it straight up gave you the address
Lol I felt a little bad for Tom he was so happy to think he found it.
Getting two locations at the "no guess/no location input" location is already funny enough, but then getting a repeat from the last one of these is the true chef's kiss.
When you play "The Absolutely Awful Map" and say 'oh this isn't so bad' and then have the balls to play it again, this is the ONLY outcome that makes sense.
This map might actually be decent if they cut out the ones with incorrect coordinates
I think it could be fun to try to predict which ones you need to guess out in the ocean
@@bradmerrell6442 I got the 31 second high score on this map yesterday by memorizing every location. There are at least three misplaced locations not in the middle of the ocean, so even if you'd guess where Geowizards got his you'd get it completely wrong about half of the time.
remind me again the name of the map
@@ultimatewierdness how many locations are there in total?
@@somebodyhere3160 76, it says on the page.
this episode is so funny. Your mood is so uplifting and your commentary is very funny and helpful
Absolutely agreed
Last long very long which is English
@@rawlinanderson6130 that cracked me up.
AF
@@rawlinanderson6130 What?
The moment you mentioned the second image being also from "Anttech", I knew it had to be at the same location. That BTW is near the Zero-Zero point (0 deg Longitude, 0 deg Latitude). Its a common place for geographical objects to end up at, when for some reason the coordinates are missing.
It's not, though, is it? The end shows that they're not in the same location.
After the first round I googled the company that took the picture. They're based in West Bengal, India.
And I hope their general performance as shown in this video means they go out of business! 😂
Bold of you to trust that their location is where they say it is
tons of christians in Eastern India, Bengal, Mizoram, etc.
Fake news. They actually operate under the ocean 400 miles off the coast of Ghana.
Oh! What a surprise! I have learnt so much from your blender tutorial videos, really surprised to find you in the comments section of a GeoWizard video 😅😅
Probably the most entertaining video you've made in a while and I don't mean that as an insult. Quality.
Why would that be an insult lmao
@@zynifi I agree with your reply. I don’t mean that as an insult though.
@@zynifi As in "This video is the most entertaining video in a while, since your recent stuff sucked" whereas this was meant as "This video is the most entertaining video in a while, because its outstanding."
you know the video is gonna be lit when tom says: “are we recording?”
I've literally never seen a video where he wasn't recording. I don't know why he's always so worried!
(Yes I'm joking)
@@Mike_Dubayou haha
Hahah 😐
Was surprised by the early “Are we recording”
I want to see all of the content where the answer was “no”.
The tin shed near the fish market down the road from the jam shed 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Those kinda addresses are very common in India, "Tin Shed, Near Fish Market" would be considered a "landmark" and useful for navigation.
You knew that third round was going to end off the coast of africa when he pointed out it was the same group submitting it. But the joy of building up to that ending was immense.
The "bad results" come from invalid lat/long data, which results in Google showing the location at 0°N, 0°E at the center of the map. It happens often enough (from various faulty software sources) that the location has been given the tongue-in-cheek name of "Null Island" (there is no land there, but there is a weather buoy).
Yeah but they’re in different spots?
@@blakenewall Exactly, and neither of them is exactly at Null Island.
This map is devious. If you get 5 rounds with all wrong coordinates, even clicking on Null Island five times won't get you far above 20,000 points.
It might have something to do with incorrect mapping between coordinate systems, which explains the clustering around null island but also not everything in the same spot. Imagine if they are using a grid centered somewhere in india, if google displays those coords as latitude and longitude, you will basically get an india-shaped cluster around null island
@@blakenewall They are both *close* to 0°N, 0°E so maybe they put a bad decimal place or something like that?
Oh my, I got the Montevideo round right!
What did it for me was the "Bife de Vacío" on the blackboard. I'm from Brazil, so I know that people from Rio Grande do Sul have this name, "vazio", for a specific beef cut they have. So I figured out that Uruguay or Argentina might use that name as well, I just went for Uruguay for the closeness. So it was a matter of tryng to find a public markets, because we have similiar buildings on Brazil with this same architecture, with the same purpose. I got lucky to find the "Mercado Agrícola" tho.
My family are from Argentina and I took a guess at somewhere in Argentina! Insane how similar some neighbour countries can be :) From 'bife de vacio' and 'picada' and even the bread on the table before the meal.
I also got it exactly right! the way I jumped when I stopped focusing on the dude and realized “WAIT I USED TO GO THERE EVERY WEEK” lol but yea the bbq and pilsen are probably the most obvious tells that it is Uruguay. it’s a shame you can’t make out the ice cream flavors from that angle, that parlor sells weird and often local flavors, there’s another pic in google maps that shows them and it’s pretty damning that it IS Uruguay bc it has “Tannat Rosè” (one of the most common wines of the country) and “Chajá” (traditional dessert from Paysandú) as flavors.
fwiw the “bife de vacío” does prove right the geoguessr meta of “if cows then ur gay”, except the cows don’t even need to be alive.
Minute Physics has an intriguing video about 'null island' I'd recommend Tom, and anyone else reading this to check it out! A few of these spots seem to be on, or near to 'null island'.
Tl;dr: Many spots are marked at 0 latitude and 0 longitude due to coding issues.
(I don't know precisely why the spots here are different from each other, I'd be intrigued if there was a more in depth explanation)
Probably decimal point problem... Like they did a few minutes away from null island isntead of degrees
@@TrimutiusToo Ooh, interesting. Yep that's a nice, plausible theory, I can see how that mistake could be made.
@@TrimutiusToo doesnt explain why theyre south of the equator though, which would require a negative latitude value.
So that same random spot it ends up is sometimes called 'Null island' since its coordinates are 0, 0. It's like the default location for any GPS that returned zero location so you end up plonked at exactly 0 longitude 0 latitude in the Atlantic
Came to say this. Though when he looks at them in google maps it shows the coordinates in the URL and it is close to but not exactly 0. I'm thinking they put the coordinates in with the wrong format or conversion, like google expects a decimal form and they entered a truncated comma form or something.
Or the wrong map projection!
That isn't at 0,0 though, you can clearly see on the map that the spot is south of the equator
@@AliceJaimie This too, which is why often the places aren't exactly 0, 0 but offset on a wrong projection as you said
but they are not in the same location and both south of the equator. So not quite that either.
So - when you know that photographer doesn't tag their images with lat/long, you should always place the marker at Null Island.
Not gonna lie, "Tin Shed, Near Fish Market" had me rolling
Those random places off the coast of Africa is where the photosphere is put always if you don't give the proper co-ordinates. It happens to me when I upload photospheres but I make sure to correct them. Also, that video is not one of the worst rated! It was highly entertaining!!
Maybe the coordinates are spot on and there’s an underwater city
did we stumble upon atlantis..?
@@ecMonify I think that’s what has happened and since Tom didn’t realise I’m claiming full discovery rights
It’s where the equator meets the prime meridian.
@@furlz cool story theres also underwater city there
Not your worst Video at all, thoroughly enjoyed the hot mess. Saw the result of round three coming from a mile off though haha
Haha this comment could be read as a savage insult… “Nah, mate, your other videos are FAR worse than this one!” :)
@@truthsmiles lol didn't intend it that way but for sure. "If you think this is bad, you should see his other videos..."
The tin shed part was too funny and relatable. I lived in Nepal and I used to tell people I lived behind Gangalal Heart Hospital and people knew it right away.
Had a really rough year your videos have helped me relax and get through at my lowest times, appreciate your work Tom!
I can't believe GeoWizard hasn't heard of "Null Island"
True, thats a "geography fun fact" that even an absolute noob Like me Heard about
It's amazing how little information we need to recognize our own countries. On that second guess, all I needed was a quick glance at the drink and the people to know that was Uruguay
What was that drink? I automatically assumed Argentina.
@@kcg285 I also thought it was Argentina since everything in that picture just hit right at home. Also, they sell Schweepers here too.
The Pilsen beer stickers gave it away for me. Those only sell in Uruguay.
@Nitsugalego - 😂
ua-cam.com/video/c5CQgsFJm0c/v-deo.html
I don't know exactly why, but I imediately thought it could be Argentina near Buenos Aires or perhaps Uruguay.
Roughest play along ever! I feel your pain. Sucks so much to spend 20 minutes on a round to pin it close and turns out it's marked in the middle of the ocean ugggh
Tom I have to say you are something special...watching this episode with nearly anyone else would have been all but torture, yet I was laughing until I was crying throughout most of the video. Well done! Such an entertainer
The first round was JD Enterprises, KK Rd, Moudhapara, Raipur, Chhattisgarh 492001, India.
I played the map before watching, and the anticipation during 15:34 is getting too much for me to handle.
This was a really enjoyable video. I finally beat you, I got 5,470 points. I went for Ghana in the first round because of the british power outlets and got some points there. Well done mate!
Another outstanding video Tom! I’m always so excited to watch you play this
Tom, you're so unintentionally funny sometimes, it makes me laugh so hard. Love your videos.
Personally, I always gets drawn to the electrical outlets myself.
There is only a few different types used in the world, and they aren't too hard to learn. But they do say a lot about where one is, especially if the place has more than 1 type.
The first location for an example had a type G plug but also seems to use some other types given the more universal outlets shown, so it is likely a former British colony at the very least. (however, the "correct" place is Null island, the magical place where databases places all its junk. Probably one of the better guesses for this map to be fair....)
And the second one is not givning me any clues either.
Third is giving so much information to where it actually is that it surely must be Null island again for it to be in this collection.
However, the "Null island" ones seems like they might have gotten their location metadata swapped out for something else entirely.
cringe
@@G-G._ - Grow up, there's nothing cringe about an expert knowledge in absolutely anything!
@G social situations aren't my forte so forgive me but how is this cringe? Or is this a joke? Sarcasm?
My man, your videos are getting better and better! So enjoyable. Get in!!
Amaron has offices in the Philippines. The thought that you were right lasts long, really long.
Early gang! Always pleasure to see your videos, Tom!
In the first location, the electrical outlets are also a good clue, as the plugs are UK standard, pointing to a former British colony
Ouch. This round was probably some of the worst luck possible. I made the map with the intention that someone would get the incorrect coordinates maybe once. but the fact that you got both of the incorrect locations is just super unlucky.
I just started playing Geoguessr after stumbling upon your channel. I've watched a few other UA-camrs and all their talk about bollards and poles and Google cars honestly puts me to sleep. But you dear sir, are entertainment gold.
That first round was brutal. I had basically the same thought process, "English, Jesus and mopeds - feels like Phillipines", placed my marker down, just sat and stared for a bit at the result.
On that 3rd round had you gone just a bit more to the right, I think you would have the exact place. There's "Jamshedpur Electric and Refrigeration centre" just there.
Not Bermuda?
Ok, this has been the best episode ever! I’m dying laughing at the excellent commentary and the mind blowing guesses!🤣🇨🇦
He's so funny he's got such a dead sense of humour i love it hed be a good standup if he could come up with 30 mins of material
Your videos are getting me through a terrible heartbreak. Thank you Tom
I hope you've made it through okay, Charlie.
This is still one of my favorite geoguessr videos you’ve ever made. This and the one where you found 12th and Olive in Denver and it ended up being Eugene
As soon as you pointed out it was Antech Info again... I was so surprised you didn't just wang you guess in the Atlantic ocean!
We love watching you play GeoGuessr games! Best entertainment on the interwebs!
"New filters out this evening! This one is my favourite. Nice job team!"
„Interwebs“
i love your geoguessr videos, i dont mind them at all, i miss them sometimes even when you are doing irl stuff
but thb the straight line missions have been some of the best content on youtube, so i dont mind haha
Okay, I'm the Louisiana resident back to help with your pronunciation of Lake Pontchartrain. You are not far off, but us locals pronounce it must quicker. Think like you're quickly saying "punch-a-train" but add an O instead of a U in punch, so its "ponch-a-train". Hope this helps. Love this video, made me laugh several times.
That intro though 😂
Those first three rounds made me think of a new challenge you can do where you attempt to get 5k and 0 scores in separate games where you play along with yourself. I think it would be pretty interesting to try and either find the exact spot and try to lay the other marker down at the furthest spot possible or when you're not sure of your exact locations just take an educated guess on both. I'd choose a different map though due to the coordinates issue
hmm i think i remember watching a video where he tried to get as close to 0 as possible
Oh my god that was hilarious ♥️ This map combined with you is incredible
great video tom, laughed a lot the whole way through. ur comedy and timing is hilarious
OMG, TWO GeoGuesser videos in a week from Tom!?!? I’m stoked 🤘😻
Bro, "tin shed, near the fish market" was the funniest thing I've seen for weeks.
The amount of times you check to see if you're recording makes me wonder how many times you've filmed a video without actually recording it.
Also, while this was one of your worst scores, it was definitely one of my favorite GeoGuesser videos. The commentary on the first map was spot on
I can’t believe you were at primavera as well!! I wish me and my mates knew that were all huge fans from Australia.
Having a pint with u is on the bucketlist
Love how he's singing I am the walrus in the beginning. A man of class
That place off the coast of Africa is called “Null Island”. Look it up
Glad you didn't re-make the video, I found it really funny and shared in your dispair
With this map, as long as you're on the same planet, you win.
The second guy Bertrand Pierre Lefaux has a youtube channel with this exact place he was at featuring in a video XD
The way you said “not just long, REALLY Long mate.” I’ve been laughing for 15 minutes. God that was good
This may have been one of the *best* GG videos you've ever done. I laughed playing along then laughed harder at your results!
Actually one of my favorite vids. The address commentary has me rolling!
Bloody legend. Good luck with your hike tmr!
This is probably the hardest I've laughed at any of his videos. Amazing
Not gonna lie, this might be my favourite video of yours yet. Just kept giving, I laughed so much... cheers Tom
You're my favorite youtube channel man.keep up the good work
I was surprised he didn't guess near 0,0 to go for cheeky points when he saw that it was Anttech again.
That place in the ocean seems to be 0 0 longitude latitude, meaning that the GPS coordinates likely either got corrupted, were null, or something else happened to them.
Definitely not your worst video! It was actually really funny and we played along too, we guessed pretty much the same countries that you did which felt good :D
I played this round first, before watching the vid, so the anticipation of your reactions made it even funnier. the 2 closest I got were the indoor pumping station, which I roughly remembered from the previous episode and the Argentina one, which I guessed Buenos Aires for. Reason? The Big black round hood in the pic reminded me of Argentinian BBQ place I once visited. I ended up with 8,229 points.
First time I've beat Tom 👀 5367 -- I looked up the wall power sockets on the first one, looks like Type I from Argentina, so I went Cordoba and was equally disappointed on incorrect coordinates. I was also shocked we both chose Barcelona on #2 - it looked coastal with the venting of the roof...
You should do a mission where you’re trying to navigate through the confusing stockholm archipelago. It’s beautiful!
I love how the air-conditioning sales shop had an absolutely busted air-con in the window.
That 'slightly paler' person on the Luminous battery box/advert in the first round is none other than the legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar
This video was an incredible amount of fun!
Can you play with an eye tracker so we can watch what you're picking up on while you play
He's definitely looking at everything, unless its a speed mode/time limit. That would be interesting to see.
I am really enjoying these videos Tom, youre usually really good at this game and its just funny to see you struggle and getting annoyed hahaha sorry ;D
Keep up the good work buddy, I hope you are happy in life at the moment and I will see you in the next video!
I was so happy in the first round. It was India, and there were many giveaways (while I do understand that it is almost impossible for Tom):
The brands are all very common in India. Tom was right about the moped batteries. These are smaller batteries mostly used in 2-wheelers.
- 2:20 - The scooter has a very Indian Plate and back further the guy riding the scooter also seems like a Honda Activa (Very common in India)
- 2:39 - The calculator, stamp, the thing behind the stamp is a payments QR Code, the wall sockets are Indian as well
- 3:56 - That guy is not Sri Lankan as he is the great cricket Sachin Tendulkar
The JC was confusing though as I would have guessed somewhere South because of that. Turns out the location was in Central India - Raipur, Chattisgarh.
Did you try moving the decimal in the latitude and longitude to the right one digit on the two Anttech rounds? I bet that'll get you close to the actual location
it wont. theyre south of the equator, so they have a negative latitude value. Wheras india has a positive one.
For the first one the power socket next to the desk could have been an indicator if someone was crazy enough to memorize all the types for each country. But I guess it wouldn't have made any difference lol
The place where the coordinates were off is "null island", where the equator meets the prime meridian. It is there all geocoding errors go to die.
One of the rare times I managed to beat you! (But i did live in Montevideo) Fun video! The points that were near Africa are actually on Null Island the location at 0 latitude and 0 longitude so someone forgot to input their data, so much for a local guide! :p
This is too much fun, definitely do another!
Ah and now my day will be good, thank you Tom :)
I just knew after all the hard work with the India one that it would be glitched. I laughed so hard. Thank you for the great content. You are a legend!
"I wouldn't wanna swim it". Next video: "I Swam 3000 Miles in a Straight Line!"
13:32 It sounds so weird, but there are many places in Asia that have discriptions as part of their official addresses. I know this is a thing in Thailand. Like "green house, at the end of the road, by the tree" as an example. God knows what happens when they get rid of the tree, does the address change, or what?? Who knows? lol
Tom, you should go on The Voice. I think you have got what it takes. Wow!
I cant stop laughing about the Tin Shed address. That absolutely killed me.
The Tin shed address only made me think of Harry Potters address: The cupboard under the Stairs, 4, Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey. Loved this one, Tom.
