I haven't used his method (or tools) for finding locations. On his video though he does mention Austria/Vienna for museums, etc (on his screenshare), so I assume (assumption1) that if it shares data with OsmAnd (and others) it would be very useful for (anywhere) where internet is prevalent (Americas, Europe, Oceania, most of Asia).

I genuinely can't work out what part of this video you think is US-specific. America is far from the only country in the world that has municipality logos on infrastructure, house numbers, or OSM coverage.
There's certainly regions of the world where doing this would be much more challenging (e.g., Central Africa, China, rural India), but the stuff he covered in the video is going to be extremely helpful in the vast majority of cases.

You clearly don't know who Rainbolt is. He can do this anywhere in the world.

#6Besides doing the OSM query his "method" is also being really observant and resourceful

#7Checking on numberplates and bin logos was hardly groundbreaking, as those are exactly where I would have started too. However, I had never heard of Overpass Turbo [0]. Learning of its existence was the only valuable take from this video for me, but well worth it.

#8Getting http 403 errors in NewPipe after the first minute of watching. After twitter and reddit, I guess it's time to wall another garden :( wish people would at least cross-post information to literally any other website (so there's a semblance of market forces—reasons to be nicer to use than the competition—and not just 1 place you have to use)

It's a surprising helpful tool in Pokemon Go metagaming. For example, you can use it to determine gyms eligible for EX Raid status (not that that's a thing anymore), find potential micro-nests, or even locate Lake Trio spawn locations.
