01Identifying American Samoa

American Samoa is a group of islands east of Fiji, located in the Pacific Ocean. Since it is a US overseas territory, for country streak purposes, it is counted as the US.

The general landscape consists of green, tropical mountains with many palm trees. Small roads are often made of concrete. Most houses are one storey, and have a simple box design. Plain metal sheet roofs are also very common.

02Island specific clues

A slightly rusted black truck bed can be seen on the main island of Tutuila.

This is the most common car that will be seen as it has the most coverage.

The front of a silver-grey truck with side mirrors can be seen on Manu’a and Olosega, which are connected by a bridge.

See below for more information.

The front of a similar truck can be seen on the easternmost covered island of Tau. However, the truck will be glossy black, with side mirrors visible.

03Spotlight

The single-lane bridge, connecting the islands of Manu’a and Olosega, can be easily recognized by the thin wire guardrail, with the two islands on either side of the bridge.

Ofu Airport is small with a concrete runway. The Google Car covering it has two orange straps on the roof. Many palm trees can also be seen on the other side of the runway.
