GeoGuessr Boost
Start with the sun
If the sun is clearly north, you are often in the southern hemisphere. If it is clearly south, you are often in the northern hemisphere. Treat this as a clue, not a law. Street View time, camera angle, and cloudy lighting can all mislead you.
Use road direction
The compass helps when a road runs toward a visible mountain range, coastline, or city grid. If you know a country has mountains mostly to one side, road direction can separate regions.
- Check the compass before rotating too much.
- Use long shadows only when they are clear.
- Combine direction with terrain, not with a single guess.
- Do not force hemisphere logic in cloudy or forested rounds.
Common mistake
Players overvalue the compass when they are lost. If every other clue says Poland, do not switch to Argentina because one shadow looked odd. Direction is a tie-breaker, not the whole case.
