The most typical landscape is semi-arid, either rolling or flat, with vast agricultural fields, containing very limited vegetation other than crops.

Turkey has three main types of numbered roads. The largest type are theO-roads, which on kilometre markers feature an O followed by a hyphen and the road number. The second largest type are theD-roads, which omit the “D” on kilometre markers and instead only feature a 3-digit road number, followed by the road section number on the top and the kilometre at the bottom. The section number will generally increase to the southeast.

The third type of roads are provincial roads. While these generally aren’t labelled on the map, they can still be used to regionguess since the kilometre markers feature theprovincial codeas the first two digits on the sign. These codes generally increase alphabetically from 01 to 76 with some newer regions being unordered. Shown in the image is a road from the Afyon Province (03).

The second type of coverage in Kibale is on asmall forest road, which is still large enough to be covered using a car. The forest appears to be quite dense, however it is typically not very dark. The area is mostly flat.

The park is located west of lake Victoria and has by far thedriest coveragein the country. The grass is almost always completely dried out, which is normally enough to recognise it. Bushes and trees along the road also typically look very dry. The area is quite hilly, but not mountainous.

The coverage in the national park consists of two small forest paths running parallel to each other. The forest appears very humid, and on much of the coverage,drops of watercan be seen on the camera lens.

Theonly paved roadwith coverage outside Kampala can be found here. The pavement almost entirely lacks the red tinge which is typical for most roads in the country. The road has white, solid outer lines and a yellow middle line.
A power line runs parallel to the road, to your east. To your north, you will be able to see hills.

Ukraine uses long, white licence plates, with a distinctiveblue and yellowstrip on the left (the colours of the flag).
You may also come across older plates, where the blue and yellow are difficult to spot.

All coverage in Ukraine is Generation 3. Most of it was made using ared Google car. This car is almost unique to Ukraine. It sometimes has an antenna, and sometimes no antenna. Note that the car is not always visible, though at times you will still be able to tell its colour due to thecar blur glitch.
NOTE: The car meta can be very useful to tell Ukraine and Russia apart:
Most importantly, you willnotfind the red Generation 3 car in Russia.
Russia can have Generation 4 (and sometimes Generation 2). Ukraine never has either Generation.
Russian Generation 3 cars always have either a short or long antenna. If you see no antenna at all, consider Ukraine.
Also note that some parts of Belgium can have a red google car with a long antenna.

White car with a long antenna
Grey car with a short antenna
These cars can be found in multiple countries, including Russia. See the region guessing section to see where you can find these cars within Ukraine.

This abysmal road quality can really help with tough 50-50s with Russia, which generally has somewhat better roads.

In bigger cities and towns, you will often see bigSoviet-era apartment blocks. These are often made of light grey brick. They tend to look fairly rundown and poorly maintained. Some are made ofconcrete prefab unitsthat are stacked on top of each other.
These apartment buildings are similar to those found in Russian cities. You can also find this style of building in the Baltic countries, but these tend to look better maintained.

This is thestereotypical rural roundin Ukraine:
Generally bad road quality.
A landscape that is usually flat or slightly hilly.
A line of trees or bushes next to the road, with wide open agricultural fields beyond that.
A lack of road infrastructure or buildings, until you reach the next urban area.
Low amount of traffic.
