Everything you need to identify Poland in GeoGuessr — from the writing system and road signs to bollard colours, utility poles, and the landscape itself.
These are the fastest visual identifiers — things you should look for in the first few seconds of a round.
Polish is identified by ł (pronounced like 'w') — a letter found in virtually no other language
Also look for ą, ć, ę, ń, ó, ś, ź, ż — one of the most diacritic-heavy Latin scripts
Flat plains (the name 'Poland' comes from 'pole' = field) — very similar to Germany's North German Plain
Post-communist architecture: concrete apartment blocks everywhere outside the restored city centers
Amber from the Baltic coast — amber shops visible in Gdańsk area
These details help narrow down a location once you've spotted the country — or confirm your guess when you're unsure.

Latin (Polish)
Poland drives on the right side of the road. In-game, the Google camera car is on the right side — so oncoming traffic comes from the left. This is the norm for most of Europe, the Americas, and continental Asia.
Warsaw was 85% destroyed during WWII and then painstakingly rebuilt from 18th-century paintings to look exactly as it did before the war — earning its Old Town a UNESCO listing. Poland's Baltic coast produces 90% of the world's amber.
