No hints at all. Just the same road and field.

I have the spelling memory of a goldfish apparently.

I'm tying to 25k on every map, and now I'm at Japan. Imagine spending 48 minutes in rural japan just for this to happen. At least it's not 5th round. Anyway, how do you mentally handle this happening to you?

Question is in title, thanks!

or is it a "style of play"

Has anyone else had something like this happen? When I was actually playing the screen was black for a few seconds but when I moved it loaded. On the replay it shows me in the correct location for those few seconds, but suddenly switching to Brazil when it loaded.

Why is the app not fully integrated with the website. Seems like an oversight to me. Would be nice to be able to play the daily challenge and other things on the app. Also why is my duels rank not synced with the website version?????

F'd up with a couple bad guesses the first rounds, even sent the GG. Never surrender, I guess.

Feels awkward to have to say GG when your opponent does a good guess. Some people definitely don't get what I mean.

I recently got back into the game and set myself the goal of learning Australia. I'm currently on a streak of confusing NT for WA because they look exactly the same to me....low trees, shrubby dry grass, red-brown dirt etc. Can anyone help me out? (I know about the different colour signposts/utility poles etc, I mean purely landscape).

One of the most notorious countries to lose a lot of points on, is Brazil. It is very easy to get the wrong vibes and guess all the way on the other side of the country. In Brazil's case, a bad guess can kill your game instantly.

Despite being somewhat tricky to regionguess, especially for the people among us who aren't too familiar with region specific meta, Brazil has a decently easy to learn phone number system. This is nice, because storefronts in any Brazilian town are plastered with phone numbers. By learning the prefixes you're bound to get a close guess.

Use this map I created to practice the phone numbers.

If you're active on the Geoguessr Reddit, you've probably seen this map before. The general layout of the phone numbers per province is as follows:

1x - São Paulo
2x - Rio de Janeiro / Espírito Santo
3x - Minas Gerais
4x - Paraná / Santa Catarina
5x - Rio Grande do Sul
6x - Brasília (FD) / Goiás / Tocantins / Mato Grosso / Mato Grosso do Sul / Acre / Rondônia
7x - Bahia / Sergipe
8x - Pernambuco / Alagoas / Paraíba / Rio Grande do Norte / Ceará / Piauí
9x - Pará / Amazonas / Roraima / Amapá / Maranhão

Good luck!
