Template:MtuClustermug
From Geohashing
This expedition was affected by mtu's Grand GPS Clustermug of 2010.
For his first five geohashes, mtu had the wrong map datum set on his GPS device—namely the Potsdam datum instead of the globally accepted standard, WGS 84—causing him to not visit the actual, canonical hashpoints, but places about 200 m away in SSW-erly direction.
In all cases, the actual hashpoints would have been easily accessible, but were missed by 20–200 m solely due to mtu's ineptitude.
In commemoration of this epic fail,
mtu earned the False Start Consolation Prize

As a consequence, all achievements formerly claimed for this hash are null and void (except Drag-along achievements). Instead,
mtu earned the Blinded by Science Consolation Prize
