If you haven’t heard of it, GeoGuessr is basically competitive Google Maps. Participants try to guess where they are on the planet with just a single, random Google Street View photo. Pro GeoGuessr player, Trevor Rainbolt, is one of the best in the world, and can guess locations in approximately .1 seconds. Trevor explains how he does what he does, and how you can learn as well.

Google should adopt or have partnership with GeoGuessr, and have the International GeoGuessr competition held every year on the middle of Google I/O conference.
That would be a sight to see to conference goers there and would be a huge marketing to the competition and Google Maps Community itself.

I first discovered Geoguessr thanks to GeoWizard but Rainbolt has popularised it to the casual viewers. GeoWizard would take time to get as close to the exact location as he can while Rainbolt’s approach is to guess as quickly and as accurately as possible. Both are impressive though.

I wonder how many countries he’s been in. Many Americans (is he in the USA?) rarely travel abroad, would be sad on one hand to know what every inch of a country looks like and never go there; OTOH it would be weird to go to a completely new place and have it look familiar.

Trevor Rainbolt should change is name to Trevor Rainman because he’s an absolute savant with this kind of thing.

It’s really fantastic and incredibly impressive but I do question his final comment about an ‘urge to learn about the world’, as telephone poles and bollards doesn’t really dig too deep in regards to a country’s history and culture etc. The real reason is these guys are gamers and it’s the addiction of gaming and being the best and competition which motivates them I’m sure.

My conspiracy theory on this topic is that the US secretly consults with GeoGuessr pros (with and without their knowledge) to pinpoint locations for their imagery intelligence. I love it because it sounds both ridiculous and plausible at the same time.

To be fair, guessing a country only is impressive.
But frankly, it isn’t that impressive when the guess is still off by hundreds of km.
Yes, one can come to the conclusion that “it is X country”, then spend another second to figure out where exactly in said country it is.
Having high speed while also maintaining accuracy is far more impressive than speed alone.
