Interview with Rainbolt: Professional Google Maps Player
Nick VinZant 0:12
Welcome to Profoundly Pointless. My name is Nick VinZant. Coming up in this episode, Google Maps and condiments.
Rainbolt 0:19
There's a very lost skepticism around the videos I make, rightfully so I mean is pretty mesmerizing thing. And I guess it's like magic to some people, right? Like, you watch like a magic trick you don't know how it's done, but to the magician, it's easier, I would say soil color is really, really helpful. So if you have like red soil, it's like Cambodia, Brazil, why soil to be like Nigeria, like the car commercials. I love watching car commercials because it's like, what roads in the US early on,
Nick VinZant 0:45
I want to thank you so much for joining us, if you get a chance, subscribe, leave us a rating or a review, I think what we're going to end up doing is adding voicemail to the show. Because it's been fascinating over the last couple of weeks to hear from you guys about what you like about the show what you don't. And we want to continue to make it more interactive. So if you have any feedback, go ahead and send it to us, we really want to try to involve more of the audience more of the listeners in the show. So our first guest is a professional Google Maps player. And whatever reaction you might have immediately to that this is so interesting. It's so interesting, because it's amazing how he's able to look at a flash picture of anywhere in the world and identify where that is. But also, it's, it's really interesting to hear about all of these little differences between states and between countries that you might otherwise not know about, like how a guardrail and by noticing something about a guardrail, will tell you exactly what country you're in. It's all of these things that you didn't notice, that then makes traveling and experiencing the world just that much more interesting. This is professional Google Maps player Rainbolt. So how do you play google maps? professionally?
Rainbolt 2:15
Yeah, so basically, the game is called GeoGuessr. The point of the game is basically find where you are on the world. So it uses Google Streetview. And it basically just pulls random images from Google Streetview. And then you get put in these random spots, and you have to guess where you are.
Nick VinZant 2:31
So essentially, like, part of the game is they just take a picture of Yakima, Washington, some random, random place, and you have to go find this location, is it is it a certain area or can be anywhere in the world,
Rainbolt 2:43
you can play different maps, I like playing the world map, there is like you could play like very local specific maps like Fincher county only, by like playing the world map to where you get, you could put you could be put in Indonesia, or you could be put in Seattle, or a small town population, 300 and Montana,
Nick VinZant 3:01
I have no idea how you can even do this. Like you just get some random picture anywhere in the world. But how do you even figure this out?
Rainbolt 3:10
Yeah, it's a lot of studying and playing a lot. So basically, anything from using bollards on the side of the street, learning different telephone poles in different countries language, what side the road, people drive on what road lines countries use, every country has different road lines, some use double white, some use double yellow, some use white dashed, some don't use white dashed, some have triple yellow, it's like a whole thing of like learning straight lines, road conditions, what type of road types, vegetation, all that everything.
Nick VinZant 3:41
But I would imagine that most countries look generally kind of the same throughout the country. So then how do you narrow it down within a country
Rainbolt 3:49
so like, the USA is one of the toughest countries really in the world to learn. It's like notoriously, like one of the hardest countries because it's so big, and a lot of it looks the same, right? Like New York Catholic site anywhere in the northeast, really, like World New York. So there's, you know, you can learn license plates, some different regions, like every license plate is blurred in the US, but you could still make out like different colors. So you can you can learn like Oklahoma's what Oklahoma looks like blurred license plate looks like so then, you know, you're in Oklahoma, or there's different things in states specifically, or different regions where, like on the back of Oklahoma stop signs, they have like, they use their county number on the back of their stop sign where no other state does. So there's like a bunch of really nice things you learn about different states that help you pinpoint where you are.
Nick VinZant 4:35
But I would imagine that most countries look generally kind of the same throughout the country. So then how do you narrow it down within a country
Rainbolt 4:42
so there's, it's like a mixture that when you're when I'm playing the round, like 0.1 Second, or like 0.001 Second, it's, it's very hard to pick up on very things like that. So that just comes down to vibes, as I like to say is just kind of like you pick up on the journal fill and like, what country looks like and what it feels like in different regions of the world is very, very quickly.
Nick VinZant 5:00
So if you get shown 10 pictures, or whatever, like out of every 10 pictures, how many of them? Would you be able to solve?
Rainbolt 5:08
Consistently in 0.1? Second, I would say like 80 90% success rate.
Nick VinZant 5:14
So 0.1 Second, what does that what does that mean?
Rainbolt 5:17
So 0.1 seconds means I can only see the photo for 0.1 seconds. It's like a game. A challenge I challenge myself to do, where it flashes for 0.1 second, and it turns black, then you have to like, try to remember where it is
Nick VinZant 5:30
you from anywhere in the world. And you can figure this out, for the most part, yeah. And you can figure this out for the most part. So you just get a flash of an image. And then you can go, oh, Karachi, Pakistan.
Rainbolt 5:42
But you could do literally, there's also a lot of metal to it as well to where it helps you to where you have to learn what this is where it gets really like into like the nitty gritty, but you get you have to learn like what car Google drove in what country so like some some countries like Google Streetview car is white, where some like so like, in Jordan, they use a black people's review car, where in Israel, the Street View car has a long antenna on the back of it. So you also it's less, there's also some of that where it's less of like country specific, like actual geographic knowledge and more of like learning Google Street views and what car they use on Google Streetview.
Nick VinZant 6:21
How did you get into this?
Rainbolt 6:23
So I started playing the game, like very casually, and like 2016, like in the back of high school, I had no idea what I was doing at the time. I was probably guessing like Malaysia on Mexico, and then around 2020 when COVID hit, I was like, I would kind of Swan see more of the world. And it's learning more about the world. i There's a couple of go on YouTube, those watching that we're playing the game I really like okay. Yeah, I think I could actually I want to learn experiences for cultures and see the world. So I started studying, and then I've only been playing for almost a year now. It's been 11 months,
Nick VinZant 6:56
what do you like about it?
Rainbolt 6:57
I think it gives me like an appreciation for like different countries that I don't think I necessarily would have had without, or like just seeing different regions of the world that I never would have known about. And like, knowing that this place exists, is cool. And like knowing that, like there's people here, I really enjoyed that process of just like learning the game and experiencing different places and seeing the world in a different light.
Nick VinZant 7:17
That is really interesting, right? In the sense that because of the way that the game is formulated, you see all of the minutia, and the little ways in the country are different is that kind of what keeps what gets people into it,
Rainbolt 7:29
the more I like, study, and the more like once I unlock something like that. It's like the best feeling ever. Like there's a whole community of us, there's probably like, we have a discord like probably 50 people where we just are sharing different tips and like, Oh, my God, I found a, you know, this specific tree in South Africa. That's only in North Cape. And we're like, Yeah, let's go. And so like really finding like unlocking things like that in the pro community is really big. I think more for like the, the newer audience or like the more casual players, it's just like, just a challenge with their friends of seeing who's smarter.
Nick VinZant 8:01
Is it only fun though, if you're really good? Like, I would think that starting out, you just have no idea. Like if you showed me a picture of some random country, unless he's got the Statue of Liberty in it, or the Great Wall of China? I'm not figuring that out.
Rainbolt 8:15
I don't think so at all, I think it's, it's honestly probably arguably more fun when you don't know what you're doing. I think that the joy is that there's always something more to learn. It's not it's not like you can you can ever stop. There's like an end goal here, you'll always find something new Google will always continue to update their coverage. You always have to adapt to different things in different countries changing
Nick VinZant 8:36
in the professional ranks, like where do you rank,
Rainbolt 8:39
I'm definitely not the best. Which is crazy to think about in my videos, you probably tell these people a lot better. I also think it's like it comes down. There's different ways to play the game. And there's different I would rank people differently based off of like, so like, I am more of like a fast speed guesser where I like doing country streaks. So basically, it's how many countries in the row can you get where other people maybe their specialty is guessing exact speed running exactly where you are to the exact road as quickly as you can to exact meter. I would say when it comes in terms of like fast guessing country streaks, I will I don't want to give myself an exact range. But I would say within top, generously top 2530
Nick VinZant 9:26
what makes somebody better than somebody else? Is it simply your experience level? Or how do you get better at
Rainbolt 9:33
it? It gets to a point where it's like very marginal and you start learning like people that have studied Russia, right, like unlocking learning different Russian, like towns and learning Cyrillic like that's like the next step and different vegetation in Russia and like unlocking big countries. And once you come back after like three days you forget a lot and it's really discouraging because like it's like, I always say it's like a language. It's like if you want to I continue to be good at the game you have to, you have to continue to play it. And the less you play, the more you forget. And the more you play, the more you learn. So if I take like a week off, I'll come back and I'll be like, a 2x horse player than I was before, honestly, like your visual identity and like your the vibes you pick up on us lose, like kind of a journal fill of like, guessing very quickly and to intuitive pretty quickly,
Nick VinZant 10:26
you've developed a good amount of online popularity through this, are you surprised that people are as interested in it as they are?
Rainbolt 10:33
I think so. I think part of me understands why like the the appeal behind it, because it is so mesmerizing, and it is such a wide net to really any culture, language and person that can relate back to back to this. And so like, I understand that, I guess the growth and how quickly it happened is pretty astonishing. Like I literally start posting in January, like that's like almost 500,000 in five months, which is pretty absurd. Because I literally, as this is a hobby, I still have a job, I still I this is all something in my in my free time I just pick up on just do when I can. I didn't, I never did expected I'd start posting because I wanted to, I really just want other people to like play the game. Because it's such like a privilege to play this game, and to have like this access to the world on your fingertips, that I kinda just wanted to share that.
Nick VinZant 11:24
Is there any kind of monetary value to say? Like, I mean, are there competitions where you can make some money? Or is this simply just a hobby, and that's probably all it's ever going to be?
Rainbolt 11:35
There's no real, like prize pool money behind anything here. It's, I think the most I've ever seen is like $20. So it's a Yeah, it's actually really hard game to play competitively, too, because it's a very Honor Code game. Because it's very easy to cheat in this game. Because you have Google and UC signs you can google there's different ways to cheat to where it's very much an honor code game, which makes it very hard to play competitively. There's been a lot of drama and security around different players. But
Nick VinZant 12:05
now it's it really anywhere in the world is going to show you just anywhere randomly. I play
Rainbolt 12:10
map called a diverse world, which is like kind of the it's the flagship map, I would say for like professional players of like if you want to get better the map you play on competitively. And it has 62,000 locations that are handpicked by a that are handpicked by a map maker. I haven't seen since 2000 locations. So that is random. Yeah.
Nick VinZant 12:31
I kind of understand what you mean. But like, what is the car, Google Street View car? Like? How does that play into it?
Rainbolt 12:38
So different countries all use different cars, like Google sends a different car to different countries. And you can see some of the car on the coverage. So if you're like if you if you look around, if you look down to the actual car that the cool cars driving, you can make out like what color the car is. And if you learn what color the cars driving, and what country that also helps you pinpoint what country you're in.
Nick VinZant 13:01
Oh, so like, we know that Google uses a black Jeep Cherokee in France. So if you see a black Jeep Cherokee, you automatically know you're in France, kind of like that. Yeah.
Rainbolt 13:11
Or like yeah, like the US doesn't have nowhere in the no car in the US has an antenna on their, on their car where Europe does. So if you're confused before like New York and Belgium, you can see if there's an attack on the current there's not probably going to be in the US or things like that, that you pick up on. Not that specific scenario, but bedroom census.
Nick VinZant 13:29
Are you ready for some harsher listener submitted questions? Let's do it. What is the easiest and hardest country to identify?
Rainbolt 13:37
I think there's two different ways I can answer this to identify as one. I think a very hard country for me identify is I personally struggle with urban Eastern Europe, which is very specific. But so like, let's say, like North Macedonia versus Serbia, sometimes it's hard for me. So both the countries kind of same language have a syndrome feel really the only thing? Yeah, very, your episode is so small that a lot of the countries look the same. So I would say as far as like identifying, I would say urban Europe as a whole. I need to get better at because it just looks so similar. A lot of places if you're don't have language. And then I would say the easiest Russia.
Nick VinZant 14:25
Oh, I see that. Because all that's kind of the same general area.
Rainbolt 14:31
Yeah, there's, I mean, there's also like really countries that are a lot like I'm trying to avoid, like Kenya is really easy because the cargo is in Kenya is only in Kenya. So if you see like a snorkel on the car, you're no you're gonna be in Kenya because it's, you can't be anywhere else because it's the only time that cars used in any country. That's kind of cheating. Right? Yeah. So there's answers like that, like obviously, like Kenya, Ghana, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, like countries like that are gonna be pretty easy because they're There's like metal car coverage, that you can just distinguish where you are within half a second because you can see the Google Street View car. And it's only if you see that, you know, you're gonna be in that country. But without that, I would say like maybe Russia,
Nick VinZant 15:13
I think I could probably get pretty close on some states. Like, I know that Arizona looks different than Utah, which looks different than Colorado, which looks different than Kansas. But if you showed me like a picture of Rhode Island, I don't have any I have no idea what that looks like.
Rainbolt 15:26
What's like the easiest to identify within like half a second. And then there's like, where you are in that country is another question. So like Indonesia, and Russia, are like the two hardest countries to identify where you are within that country. Because we'll want Indonesia has like 4000 islands or so many islands that it all looks? It's so big and all looks very similar, and in Russia is kind of same to where like identifying Russia. If you can pinpoint Russia and Indonesia fairly accurately, you're gonna be one of the top 1% players very quickly.
Nick VinZant 15:57
What geographic feature would help you the most like, do you want to river and ocean mountains,
Rainbolt 16:03
trees are helpful, because there are trees are different, distinct, distinct shul, like there's different trees in different regions that are only like, there's a tree called Parana pine, where it's like only in one specific region of Brazil in the south, we're gonna see that you're like, Oh, this is Amelie, I know, we are, I would say soil color is really, really helpful. So if you have like red soil, it's like Cambodia, Brazil, white soil to be in like Nigeria, things like that. So I would say the top three from you will be soil color trees, and just having an ocean is obviously pretty helpful. Because you can you see, you get you have a compass to where you can see, having an ocean is helpful on identifying where you are in the country, less of like, what country you're in. So if you haven't, if you have, if you know, your Indonesian, you have country, your West, that might be more helpful than if you're in the middle of nowhere. And like mainland, or inland,
Nick VinZant 16:50
has there ever been one that you were just like, nobody can figure this out? Like, nobody knows what this is?
Rainbolt 16:56
Yeah, a lot. So there's like different maps to play there harder difficulty where it's like very rural, and you can play no car as well to where you can't see there's a game out where you can play no car where you can't see the Google car, which makes it a lot harder as well. And when you when you put that to that difficulty, there'll be a lot of pro players that, you know, getting past 20 countries in a row is gonna be I think that's like the world record on that map. Whereas, you know, other maps is your difficulty. And the records are like 600,
Nick VinZant 17:27
this, this question is either brilliant or slightly offensive. I'm not entirely sure. If you're, they're gonna laugh or be annoyed. But do you ever feel like, Man, this is a little nerdy? Or are you just like, This is what I like.
Rainbolt 17:42
I think I embrace it. Definitely. I do think it's like, it is pretty nerdy. I do. I do kind of take that. Yeah, like, it definitely has nerd. I think I embrace it. I don't think I care though. Like, it's just a, there's just a whole community of us that are kind of also nerds. Maybe others won't admit it. But it is it's a fun passion. That's Rare, unique. And I think I understand that. And I accept the name.
Nick VinZant 18:07
Have you ever introduced yourself as a professional Google Maps player, trying to maybe get a good foot in the door? You know, like, you know what I'm talking?
Rainbolt 18:16
Yeah, I feel that, you know, typically, that's not my lead in. I don't think I've ever it's come up in conversation before and like, you know, then it's like, they whip out like a Google Maps like, Oh, can you can you was this country? That's happened quite a few times.
Nick VinZant 18:31
I do feel like it's a thing that people want to test you all the time.
Rainbolt 18:35
Yeah, there'll be I'll get recognized in public sometimes. And there'll be people with like, you know, versus and like, here we go to Singapore, Lithuania. Because a lot of people don't like, there's a very last skepticism around the videos I made, rightfully so I mean, is pretty mesmerizing thing. And it's very easy to cheat. So there is skepticism in people I don't, I don't fault people for wanting to test me a lot because it is quite, quite incredible, honestly. And without knowing. I guess it's like magic to some people. Right? Like, you're watched like a magic trick. You don't know how it's done. But to the magician. It's easier. You know,
Nick VinZant 19:11
do you have a hard time watching TV commercials, because you're just constantly trying to figure out where things are all the
Rainbolt 19:17
time, I'll be I can't consume any content anymore without like, like, I was watching. It was boring. I was watching it the other day. And it was like So it'd be like what I think Kurdistan or something like that, or Kazakhstan somewhere in the stands. And there was a Romanian poll in the background. And I was like, like, I remember Romanian telephone pole. Like this is supposed to be not in Romania. For like, there's different reasons, like things like that, or I'm like, come on, you know. And then if, like, if I'm just like scrolling through Tik Tok or Instagram or something, I'll be like, Okay, that's Greece. You know? It's very, I also get like all my DMs on Instagram or like, where's this? Where's this? Where's this? So I'm constantly challenging myself or it's always like, like the car commercials I love watching car commercials because it's like, what roads in the US? Are they on?
Nick VinZant 20:07
Where do they usually shoot most of those because they seem to use some of the same roads.
Rainbolt 20:12
I think a common trend is actually Norway. I see a lot in Norway. I think it's just because of how beautiful mountains are. Or Switzerland. There is a line like the Western US, I feel like as well, like Colorado, kind of the Rockies, what country
Nick VinZant 20:29
has just made you want to visit the most? Like when you see all of these places, and you're like, Oh,
Rainbolt 20:35
I've three, I've taught my top three. The number three is Singapore, I really want to go to Singapore just looks like a beautiful. And then two is Iceland. I think that's for obvious reasons. It's beautiful. And I think my sleeper number one is northern Thailand or like Laos. There's a city in Laos I really want to go to Vang Vieng. It's like a beautiful, it's beautiful, scenic. As rivers going through it. It's a beautiful city I really want to visit. It's like a mind's eye on my bucket list.
Nick VinZant 21:07
Is there a country that's ugly? Like, this does not seem like every time you see it, this does not seem like a tourist destination.
Rainbolt 21:15
It's funny because there's what's also beautiful about the game is that you'll get countries like that. Where it's like this is a dump or like I this is really tragic type thing. And then you'll also be in the same country and like this is beautiful, right? So there's there's two ends of it really,
Nick VinZant 21:34
most interesting way somebody has called you out for cheating. Or like what's the most ridiculous theory where somebody's like, Oh, he's faking it. And he's doing this.
Rainbolt 21:42
Man, there was one oh my god. So when I was doing one video, this is this is a pretty common, it's a pretty funny one. I would do this to like, try to memorize the photo, like just look down. And like, just like really try to visualize the image. Yeah, picture it in your mind picture in my mind, because I only saw it for 0.1 second, and people were like, Oh, he's looking at tablet on his lap. He has a phone to reading off what country he's in. Dude, I'm just trying to visualize the image like, and so like the next one, I made sure I looked up and like close my eyes rather than looking down because like, so many people were like, he's looking at his phone on his tablet. I think I think what's really funny one, too, is people assume I memorized every single image, which I think is 10,000 times more impressive. No, I'm actually doing
Nick VinZant 22:31
how has this skill benefited you in real life?
Rainbolt 22:34
I think it bleeds into a lot of like, my like, it's, it's really just it keeps me kind of committed to something, which I think helps. And then there'll be times where I honestly think, you know, it's helped my memory. It's helped my, like, visual identification, which is like helpful, I think in times of like, the work I do. So I don't think generally it's like, it's been anything in life changing. But it's definitely, there might be more things that I'm just not aware of, to,
Nick VinZant 23:02
for people who are listening. Basically, I've picked a random google image and showing you this, like looking at this picture, how would you go about figuring out where it is.
Rainbolt 23:14
So the two immediate things are, my eye immediately goes to license plates. So license plates is big, or is a huge portion of the game, where you have to learn what license plates are. So like this one in particular, you can see we're looking at a garage here with a car parked. And you can see there's a short license plate with somewhat of a colorful license plate. And you're gonna get those mainly in the US or Mexico, sometimes Australia, the Europe, European Union all uses like one blue strip left aligned on their license plate. So we know we're not going in Europe here. Now obviously, with this architecture, and material feel we have palm trees, we know we're going to be somewhat, you know, coastal ish, desert ish. So those are two major things. And then if we, if we were to pan we'll probably see like a sign on the right side of the road, or should hint when we're driving right rather than left. So that would like, eliminate it from Australia versus us. Amelia though, is kind of like you're gonna feel like, Oh, this feels like the US but I feel really like nitty gritty into it. You could also we could use a compass and we could see that the sun is in the south here, which means we're in the northern hemisphere. So that also eliminates something like Australia here. So there's a couple different those were the the the couple different techniques I would use to define this location.
Nick VinZant 24:28
Holy fuck, dude. Like I don't notice any of that. How about this one?
Rainbolt 24:34
Okay, so we're definitely in the US again. So this is this is a different one because it's just it looks pretty this looks pretty distinct. These pine trees in the background here though, are very common like Oregon, Washington. Above this house are here so like, and maybe Vancouver BC area is where you're gonna find mostly those trees. I would have gone maybe northeast here if it wasn't for those trees. Honestly. Just to explain, I guess maybe thought RSS is that the US is one of the only countries that uses transformers on our telephone poles. So you'll see like on the top of the telephone pole and distance here, and our North like East, there's a transformer at the top of it. And that's really just the US Canada that really uses those couple other countries too. But that's another like very small things like that. You have to you have to pick up on them like wooden poles, but I probably would have gone to Oregon, Washington here at maybe. BC. But probably more Oregon, Washington just based off this this pine tree in the background. It's tall pine tree.
Nick VinZant 25:31
So in the game, are you just trying to identify the city, the country? Are you even trying to narrow it down to like a street location?
Rainbolt 25:39
Yeah, so there's two types of ways to play I am a country guesser. So I like going for speed. I like going for the right country. So I will just plonked we like to call Congress gets in middle of nowhere. And like Kansas there just because I'm speaker and in countries where I don't have the time to like figure out what state, I'm just guessing and go into the next round. And seeing how fast I can get many countries in a row. Rather than getting the exact location. There's people that will try and speed run getting that exact street in Washington, but I am honestly very bad at that portion of the game. There's people I wouldn't even put myself in top 100 there. So top 200. Really, okay, so well. So this is what we like to call unofficial coverage. So it's just a footnote, rather than like Street View. Oh, so doesn't count this, it doesn't necessarily count. But a couple of interesting things here, I recognize we can we can use this. I actually didn't see where it's in Warsaw there. But we did see that the publisher had a Cyrillic name. So I almost had Russia, but then looked above it, and I can see the name of the park was was dinky Park. And that L in the first letter there, that is a Polish L. And that's actually only found in Poland, in Polish. So if you see an Elvis slash through it, that character is only distinct to polish. It's not found in other languages.
Nick VinZant 26:57
Going back into some of the questions, where do you think that this goes moving forward for you?
Rainbolt 27:03
Yeah, I'm, I'm kind of just you know, I want to keep playing the game get better. Like, there's so much I have to learn, I want to continue seeing the countries and learning more about the world. There's so much I can learn. I'm so excited about what I have to learn. Like I'm learning Australia right now. It's like super fun. And then I think beyond just learning. And I think there's an I want to actually see them in real life. You know, that amount of times I've seen Malaysia's telephone poles, I would love to see them, you know, in real life as well. So
Nick VinZant 27:33
are a lot of people who play are they extensive travelers? Or is this kind of how they travel?
Rainbolt 27:38
It's actually their I don't think so this is our way of traveling. I think there is maybe some people that do travel more than others. And that's maybe that's where they get their specialty. Generally, the best players in this game are like 15, or 16. Like the world's best players are all like, sophomore juniors in high school, which is really interesting.
Nick VinZant 27:58
What's coming up. That's all the questions I got, man what's coming up next for you?
Rainbolt 28:03
Definitely. Yeah, so I'm continuing you know, if you want to learn more, I post tips videos on my Tiktok at geo Rainbolt at on Instagram, as well as your Rainbolt he wants to be speaker and countries also there. But yeah, I'm really excited. There's a certain 5k It's called 5k rank. It's a when you find the exact pinpoint location, because that's the max score you can you guess you're on. So, big thing I'm doing more recently is finding music video locations. So that's my biggest next fee is I have like a list of music videos and going through so if you follow my Tik Tok, you'll, you'll be seeing a lot more of those here soon.

Rainbolt 28:50
the amount of times I've seen, I've had to avoid music videos because they're just outside Los Angeles is a million times. It's like always in like a desert or like somewhere near Los Angeles. So I go more for like, if it looks more European or Asian, but yeah,
Nick VinZant 29:08
