> you're just supposed to know what Kentucky number plates look like from a blurry image, and you're also supposed to know the logo of a sports club? Cool.

Knowing exactly what they look like would help, but the point is more that you're supposed to look them up and see if they match to rule out regions or confirm suspicions. You've got the wealth of human knowledge at your fingertips, use it - if knowing what a Kentucky numberplate looks like might be useful, you can just look that up in a matter of seconds.

Given how many times this individual has narrowed down an exact location from a photo of a straight road with nothing but trees on either side, I think it's fair to suggest that he was picking an easy target for the purposes of tutorialisation.

It might take more than a couple of minutes to narrow down a photo with less obvious clues than this one, but it's fairly difficult to take a photograph outdoors that doesn't give away enough for someone with sufficient knowledge to identify exactly where it was taken.
