The Mongolian Meta

This is amazing, but surely analyzing the Google car itself would be against the spirit of the game for the hardcore players? Is it a standard tactic?

Once you know, you can't exactly go back, can you?

As far as I know, in most countries there is no such variety in what you can see on the Google car. But meta are used by expert players.

Hardcore players play to win.

Looking at the car, the picture quality or other image artifacts is a very useful tactic that everyone uses.

Is this whole thing just a strategy guide for playing Geoguessr in one country?

People go very deep into various “metas” for all of the countries

I'm a regular GeoGuessr player and I use the meta stuff mainly for getting quickly out of boring locations without losing too much points.

For example South America and Africa are huge and it's really no fun getting dumped somewhere far from any civilization and having to drive hours to get any real life geographical hints.
