Lol-asg.png 17 / m / 38,-122

Currently living in the south of the Santa Rosa, California (38, -122) graticule. Used to live in Tampa, Florida (27, -82), and might do some intermediate stays in Weatherford, Oklahoma (35, -98).

It must've been around September 2023 when I heard of geohashing, and of course I didn't understand it at first, but it's allowed me to finally understand world coordinates and I often imagine of going into the most nowheres with this. It also got me to look at maps more times than I'd be willing to count.

Useful in geohashing

† Assuming you have mapping/GIS software

  • Graticule outlines file (as shapefile .zip) from Natural Earth Data† - if you want to get an idea of how graticules cover large regions (or you want to look at your graticule). Use the 1 degree link unless you want to divide France by the prime meridian. Accurate to within .0009-.0012 degrees latitude, .0009 degrees longitude (the "10M" version doesn't help).

US only

Most of these are present in OSM as well, so use these if you have to make things brighter.

  • Census boundary files† - for counties[1], subdivisions thereof, metro areas, and other things, all in shapefile for national maps or KML for state maps. Useful for Regional and Reverse regional along with the graticule lines above, or if you like to be too specific when inputting the location for your expedition report.
  • Census TIGER/Line boundary files† - basically, an alternative version of the above. Has many of the same feature groups, but includes additional things useful for planning, such as military installations, tribal land, "urban areas" (a more specific/proper definition of a metro area), railroads, and, if you're that insane, census blocks. All files are in shapefile .zip.
  • Jump up Including the not-really-counties, such as independent cities and renamed counties, including Connecticut's recent planning regions.
