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.

I saw the us championship last week by coincidence and was surprised this already has championships.and i immediately thought,how on gods earth is it possible on what they do,and this video helped me better understand what kind of knowledge they are using for their sport.its fascinating to say the least.
I think the intuitive “it just feels like…” thing is important. It’s almost pre-cognitive, the rest gets fleshed out after. I get this a bit but I imagine he’s played so much the intuitive feeling must be so strong. It’s making a decision and then retrospectively justifying that decision with words.
So he is real…
“some things just look like south chili soil”
MALAYSIA MENTION 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
All these explanations and I still don’t understand a thing
His kidnapper better make sure to put 40 clothes on his head..
Dang, this is some spectrum behavior
4:06 Chilean here. WHY IS HE SO RIGHT??
it is so refreshing when ppl have niche interests and when they are soo passionate about something it shows
Literally no one but RAINBOLT can brag about their geoguessing skills
holy moly he is smart
Lmao
Another tip is that french poles have their white edges thick and have a little thick rim frame thingy
So “vibe guesses” reflect an accumulation of knowledge.
🌲 You could also learn about the ranges of different trees
I’m surprised that amateur guessers don’t look at the *road name,* but then I’m more aware of linguistic patterns than the average person
dude is genuinely a high order genius
3:17 i feel like we need this in the states ngl
