https://images.squarespa…6/Area_codes.png
Ukrainian landline phone numbers start with a two-digitarea code. Each oblast has its own area code. If the third digit is a 2, it refers to a phone number in the oblast’s capital (typically the biggest city). Mobile phone numbers start with 50, 63, 66-68, 73 or 91-99. They are not unique to a geographic area.

The first two letters on Ukrainian licence plates determine in which oblast the vehicle is registered in, making unblurred licence plates very useful for regionguessing. Unlike most regional plates in Europe, they’re not intuitive, so learning the codes beforehand is essential for utilising them. NOTE: The map shown only applies to the most recent and common plates, with ablue and yellow strip. Theolder platesuse a regionalnumber code, similar to Russia.

Five major cities were covered in 2011, years before the rest of the country was covered: Kyiv, Lviv, Kharkiv, Odesa and Donetsk. This coverage was made during autumn, meaning that the trees have distinctfall coloursand people are dressed for colder weather. In Kyiv, Lviv and Kharkiv, almost all of this coverage has been overwritten by the newer summer coverage. However, in all of Donetsk, and most of Odesa, it is still intact. In Donetsk specifically, there is no newer coverage at all.

TheCarpathian Mountainsis an area in western Ukraine that is significantlyhillierthan the rest of the country, in some places bordering on mountainous. It is also much more forested, with very little agriculture, and a lot of pine trees. The roads going through it tend to be more curvy, rather than the straight highways found in the rest of the country.

Forests withBaltic pines(Pinus sylvestris) are most commonly found in the north, most often near the border with Belarus. Baltic pines are usually tall and have orange-red bark. While some of these forests consist solely of this species, many of them are a mix of Baltic pines and broadleaf trees. NOTE: Note that the Carpathians are also covered in a lot of pine forests. They are noticeably hilly however, allowing you to distinguish this area from the very flat north.

Sunflowers are grown in most of Ukraine. However, they only start to bloom as early as late July. Due to the way Ukraine was covered, this means you will usually only seesunflower fields that are in bloomin the far south and east of the country. These fields are most common in Kherson, Mykolaiv and Odesa Oblast. The road T0403 to Nova Kakhovka especially has a lot of them. Note that sunflower fields that are not in bloom can be found in most of the country. These will just look like regular crop fields to most people.

Landline phone numbersin the UK always have nine or ten digits after the 0 trunk code. The first two to four digits after the 0 are the area code. Unfortunately for Geoguessr players, there is not much rhyme or reason to their geographic ordering. However, the area codes of some large cities are still worth memorising. The most important ones are summarised in this infographic. Notably, all of Northern Ireland uses the phone code 028, and all of London uses 020. A complete overview of all other area codes is available inthis infographic.

You will also often see feet and inches on signs, indicating the height of bridges.
