Pinpointing the exact location of my fans using a single image.. GEO DETECTIVE #4

This week's episode features two corking photos, including Barry Eggington's cable car in warmer climates, and an obscure palace garden snap from Billy Biscuit. I'll be trying my hardest to successfully pinpoint the exact location from which they were taken, as well as finally reveal the location of last week's failed attempt at finding the pesky Aron Amberleaf.

Pinpointing the exact location of my fans using a single image.. GEO DETECTIVE #2

Having successfully found last weeks subjects, we move straight on to our fourth target, holiday maker Andrew Feathercock. With nothing but a mosque and a few boats in the background, this promises to be a tough one, but will I do it?

Can I pinpoint the EXACT location of my fans using a single image?

A few weeks ago I successfully and swiftly identified the exact Bali swimming pool that a random Instagram model was snapped, following a request from an alleged victim of a catfish. I did this using a mixture of Geoguessr knowledge, Google Earth and Google's search engine. Following some dialogue with my impressed patreons, an idea was spawned. Why don't I make a series out of it where I try to successfully identify where my patreons/fans are using the small amounts of information that can be seen in the background? Here's the result.

Pinpointing the exact location of my fans using a single image.. GEO DETECTIVE #6

Welcome back to Geo Detective, the unique series which sees me scour Google Earth, the internet and beyond in an effort to try and locate my fans from one solitary image. This week I attempt two tricky images sent in by Bobby Tegnut and Bradley Buckingham Green that I suspect originate from north America. Each image will pose their own unique set of challenges, but growing in confidence with each episode I am confident I can get the job done.

Pinpointing the exact location of my fans using a single image.. GEO DETECTIVE #5

I'm back after a busy period of editing and poster signing and it's straight in with the latest edition of geo detective. This week I tackle a tricky image sent in from Bjorn Bunter, who poses in front of some relatively non-descript buildings, proudly donning a Sweden football shirt. Is the shirt a red herring? Will I even be able to find out? All will be revealed in this episode..

Could the reflection in these shades help me pinpoint the exact location of this photo?

Geo detective is back with a long overdue mountain photo sent in by Ian Clutterbuck. Will the shape of the mountain along with the ones in the distance be enough for me to locate it on google earth? or will the reflection in Ian's shades offer an important clue?

Can I pinpoint the exact location of the person in this image? [GEO DETECTIVE #9]

Things go up a notch this week with this tasty submission from Draco Dinkleberg. There really isn't a fat lot in this image apart from a church and some other historic buildings. Are they findable on Google? or would I be forced to give up the ghost for the first time since Aran Amberleaf in episode #3..

*Side note: Uploads have been less regular this week because I filmed a mini mission. Uploads may also be semi regular in the coming weeks as I prepare for another not so mini mission. I'll try my best to treat you with vids when I can.

Can I find the exact location in this sentimental old painting? Is it even a real place?

Geo Detective is back, and this 12th episode offers something a bit different..

Instead of attempting to locate the whereabouts of my viewers/fans, how about I try to successfully locate a scene from a painting? But not just any old painting..
This is the first of what I suspect will be many special and unique challenges where I search for a place in a painting or photograph that holds a specific meaning to someone. In this case, Raphael's great aunt, who has had this piece of art hanging on her wall for decades. Despite her great nephew's protests, she is adamant that it does not depict a scene in Paris. I have been summoned by Raphael to prove one of them wrong, but who will it be? Could it be neither of them?

This photo lay undeveloped in a charity shop camera for 70 YEARS

This week's geo detective takes our recent historic family photo tangent to a whole new dimension. Three undeveloped photos found in an old 50's brownie box camera, never seen the light of day for 70 years, and suddenly exposed to the modern world. I intend to locate the idyllic seaside scene captured within them hopefully solving part of the mystery, but can we go one step further and find out who this young girl is or was, using the mighty powers of the internet? I genuinely have no idea.

Can I locate this cherished family photo using WW2 aerial imagery?

The hottest geography detective series on the web resumes with the oldest and perhaps the most meaningful photo we've had the pleasure of working on so far. Daniel's grandmother was believed to have been holidaying in Southern England or Northern Europe in the early 50s when this snap was taken, but despite Daniel's painstaking best efforts, him and his family are still none the wiser. My job is to find out exactly where this photo was taken, however, it's not going to be plain sailing. With nothing but a few strands of seaweed, a couple of white buildings in the distance and a strange, probably long demolished wooden structure in the foreground, have I bitten off a bit more than I can chew?

ALL the best Detective Rounds from my NMPZ record attempts (mostly unseen!)

Detective rounds. The shit name that I gave to those rounds where you figure out exactly where you are in the world (or near enough) using limited information. Usually more laborious and time consuming than an insane guess, but every bit as rewarding.

In this video you get to see some of the best unseen detective rounds from the 15 hours of attempts I've made so far in my quest for the leaderboard, as well as three rounds that I'm sure you won't mind seeing one more time: Valparaiso, Salta and of course, Kenya.

UK Speed Run Record Attempt #3 - Taking Revenge on RC

**Apologies for the cancelled upload an hour ago. Uploaded the wrong file!

Knocked off the leaderboard last week by American Geoguessr player RC, I was determined to bounce back, return the favour and maybe even get in and around Samiam's brand spanking sub 5 minute effort.

Custom Maps: The 198 Capital Cities Of The World (no moving) [PLAY ALONG]

A map with all 198 world capitals, half of which I've never seen, explored or even know the name of. Some of these could be really tricky to identify from their simple photospheres, but I reckon with a bit of detective work and map scouring, we might just be able to find any of 'em.

Pinpoint the UK Football stadium on the map (Ludicrously Difficult)

Today I try out The Ludicrously Difficult UK Football Stadium Quiz

My football stadium knowledge is average, my UK geography is very good. This should all make for interesting results, especially as the map is almost completely blank.

25 stadiums. 5 levels. Can I make it through without too many mistakes? I wouldn't be so sure...

HAVE A GO:

Probably the greatest game of Geoguessr I'll ever play (No moving record attempt #2)

Eager to bounce straight back from what was a promising but ultimately mediocre first (good) attempt, I dived straight back in and had a few more attempts. This, after a couple of hours of trying, was the magnificent result.
