Botswana

All coverage: white Google car w/o antenna

South Africa: A-road numbers + striped signposts → Botswana.

Lesotho: Mountains everywhere → Lesotho; flat → Botswana.

Eswatini: MR-roads → Eswatini.

Plates white front / yellow rear (UK-style)

Namibia: Striped signposts → Botswana; C/D roads + gravel → Namibia.

Signs in English; town names from indigenous languages; Afrikaans nearly absent (unlike ZA)

Typical look: dry, mostly flat; shrubs, small trees, golden grass; arid sandy soil white → red (ZA border region similar)

Yellow outer lines (if present) + white centre - southern-Africa scheme; drives left

South Africa: A-roads + striped posts → Botswana.

Jordan: Left-hand traffic → southern Africa.

Unique black-yellow striped signposts (rarer red-white) - in southern Africa only Botswana; kerbs & guardrails striped too (black-yellow / red-white / black-white)

Small red-white chevrons roadside (also very common in ZA); green direction signs w/ A-prefixed road numbers (ZA never starts with A); some old blue-background signs - relatively unique to Botswana

A-roads + blue signs are the fast Botswana tells within the region.

Houses: shacks → middle-class bungalows, exposed grey brick, occasional round huts (region-wide styles)

Random small blurs scattered over the panorama (esp. urban) - a Botswana coverage quirk

Region map (soil/vegetation breakdown, clickable); coverage densest in the east + Gaborone (bigger towns have side streets); paved/unpaved map; pancake-flat except two hill areas (map) - isolated lone hills possible anywhere

Region reads: shrub-covered semi-arid hills → Gaborone↔Lobatse (SE); red firm rocky soil + autumn-coloured/withered trees → eastern pocket north of Francistown; bright WHITE sand + very dry vegetation → central-west

Road reads: A35 = powerline always WEST + grainy faded asphalt + parallel bush tracks; A33 = unusually lush, greener northward; Middlepits border road = red-tinted asphalt (very red soil + white pebbles near Middlepits)

Gaborone = richest/most developed look (only Francistown resembles it); Francistown = lone hill w/ radio antennas to the north (Serowe's similar hill: taller red-white striped towers + flat top); Maun = the only big town on bright white sand

Spotlights: western A2 = overcast; Chobe Flood Plains (far north) = winding dirt roads + elephants/warthogs; A30 stretch = orange-leaved trees in rows + tall grass; salt pans (central-east, around Nwetwe - show as lakes on the map) w/ leafless June trees; rural dirt tracks outside Gaborone = orange-red dirt + green bushes; A33 construction zone (Sibuya); Maun→Khwai road = extremely white sand + tall green trees (paved to Shorobe, powerline west); A20 = clean asphalt, red soil, dry grey trees (SE of Tshabong: fresh bright-yellow lines + yellow flower patches); Tsodilo Hills = big rock-faced hills on dirt roads; Pandamatenga = distinctive silos
