Here's my kinda top 10 tips (but keep in mind they only apply if you know you're in Central/South America): if the poles are octagonal you're almost certainly in Mexico. if there are a lot of yellow plates you're probably in Colombia. if you see pink taxis you're in Mexico City. if the license plates have a black smudge in the middle you're in ...
Portuguese = Brazil. Car plates on the sides of trucks and taxis = Colombia. Signs with black & white stripes on the pole = Peru. Roads with a double white line in the middle instead of yellow = Chile (snowy areas can have yellow lines though) Triple middle line in non-passing zones = Uruguay.
The most useful tip of all for Chile is that Chile uses white centre road lines by far the most out of every other SA country. The north of Chile in the Atacama is very dry (obviously), there is a temperate climate around Santiago to Puerto Montt while south of Puerto Montt looks a lot more desolate, cold with blacker soil, similar to south Arg.
Most of east and south east Asia drive on the left other than Cambodia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Also South American road lines typically consist of white outer lines and single/double yellow inner lines. :skull: asia has mindanao palms (best and certified jvmeta) while south america does not (cringe 🤮)
How to differ from mexico/NA: as starter: check the sun: look for stop signs: ALTO = north america, PARE = South America. If you see spanish and google car with roof rack, then you are most likely in Guatemala, Dominican Republic or Curaco, never in South America. electricity counters ARE EXTREMELY USEFUL.
Roads will almost always have a single yellow line in the middle. If there are any buildings, they will almost always have flat roofs and they will usually be more colorful than what you might expect from Chile or Argentina. Mexico also has octagonal concrete electricity poles which are unique (and ubiquitous). 2.
Beginner's Guide to South America. A few weeks ago, u/Jozoz requested some tips for South America. As a result, I recorded a series of videos for each country in South America that has street view to give some tips and hopefully inform some new geoguessr players and even possibly some experienced players, who knows.
Also, in Brazil we dont like champagne, golden, colored cars, we will always buy Black, White, Gray or less likely Red cars, never a differente color, (ok, sometimes different, even more if the car is old) but the newer models will 99% of the time be B/W. ANOTHER, very useful meta for differentiating Brazil from the rest:
This is just for South America + Mexico + Guatemala. For Latin America the sun, road signs, Electric meters, electric poles and googles cars are typically what can help you differentiate. Google cars probably being the most useful. Sun in the South = Northern Hemispehere and vice versa. Note that Mexico and Brazil can sometimes have an ...
The southern part of South America (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay) will often have sort of white/pastel colored houses as opposed to the more brightly colored ones further north. This is particularly true of Argentina and Uruguay; Chile has a bit more of a mix. Patagonia is the south of Argentina and Chile. It has a pretty unique feel to it.
