The white Google car has a thick antenna . Even when the pole is not visible, the blur is usually large . Do not confuse it with Senegal or Kenya .

License plates carry a coloured strip—green, blue, etc.—across the top (参考文献 Vehicle registration plates of Panama). Private cars are only required to mount plates on the rear (参考文献 Vehicle registration plates of Panama). Some plates are entirely blue or red.

Narrow down state/region

  • Check the plate on utility poles: a horizontal orientation means west of Panama City, vertical means east (参考文献 I Learned Geoguessr’s NEWEST Country for the World Cup)
    • West of Panama City
    • East of Panama City
    • Colón, north of Panama City, tends to have vertical plates as well
  • Western Panama is mountainous
    • North-west: heavy rainfall and mountains to the south
    • West: slightly drier with mountains to the north

Narrow down city/town

  • The Panama Canal zone features ships and container terminals
  • Around Barú Volcano near the western border you may find dark volcanic rocks

Few roads along the canal have Street View, so viewpoints with ships are limited .

Look for large rounded black rocks near the volcano —they are not numerous but stand out.
