About

This website serves as an interactive knowledge base for GeoGuessr.

Each meta is a note, and each note is like a short Wikipedia article. Some notes are not metas, but other types of objects (documents, tips, etc). Tags are the flexible classification hierarchy that meta types are also queryable by (meta/antenna vs. meta/building).

The home page lets you search and filter notes by title, tags, and content. Also accessible via Ctrl+O.

The main queryable properties are:

  • abstraction: 1 is "real life" and 5 is "abstract" (Google Maps-specific)

  • reliability: 1 is "very unreliable" and 5 is "very reliable"

  • yield: 1 is "most useless" and 5 is "most useful"

An example query might be abstraction:>3 reliability:5

Filter operators

SyntaxMeaning
tag:valueContains (default)
tag:=valueExact match
tag:!valueDoes not contain
tag:value*Starts with
tag:*valueEnds with
field:>nGreater than
field:>=nGreater than or equal
field:<nLess than
field:<=nLess than or equal
field:a..bRange (inclusive)

For tags, use tag:=meta/antenna to match exactly that tag without children like meta/antenna/short.

Map

The map lets you query meta by location. Paste a Google Maps link to see which metas apply at that point. Select multiple metas to find where they intersect. You can only click manually on the map to see metas at that marker.

If you want to find a meta's distribution, use Ctrl+M and it will open it on the map.
