View source for Geohashing:Coordinate calculators

A '''coordinate calculator''' is any tool which can perform the geohashing algorithm.  There are many different [[implementations]] of calculators, but there are a couple which get the majority of use.
== [http://xkcd.com/geohashing Peeron Maps] ==
This is the original implementation, and the one used most often by geohashers.  It offers an easy to use interface based on Google maps.
=== Basic Usage ===
* Pan the map around, and click on the location you wish to geohash in.
* Ensure the date in the entry box, which is in the lower left corner, is correct for the day you wish to geohash on, and hit the '''Update''' button.
* The coordinates are provided in the lower right corner in three formats, all of which describe the same location.
** ddd.dddddd, ddd.dddddd
** ddd mm.mmmm, ddd mm.mmmm
** ddd mm ss.ss, ddd mm ss.ss
=== Other Useful Things ===
* If you wish to have the currently selected region, known as a [[graticule]], be your default for each time navigate to the page, click the '''Set Default''' button.  Cookies must be enabled for this to work.
* Below the date entry box, there are various different helpful links:
** Link to this page: This is a link to bring up the page you are currently looking at, including the selected graticule and date.
** Google map: This shows the current hashpoint on the standard Google maps.  This is useful for getting driving directions to the nearest point on a road.
** Nearby food: Because eating is often a fun activity to do with people you met a geohash, especially if it is a location you can't stick around at for too long.
** Day: A link to the date page on the wiki for the date you selected.
** Meetup: A link to the expedition or planning page for the graticule and date combination you selected.
** Graticule Name: This will take you to the page corresponding to the graticule you selected.  The text of this link will vary based on the graticule you have selected.

== [http://tjum.anthill.de/geohash.html Small Hash Inquiry Tool (a.k.a. anthill)] ==
[[User:Ekorren|Ekorren]] created this tool out of a desire to have something which perfectly suited his needs.  As it turns out, many people found out they have similar needs to Ekorren, and started using his tool.  It is a little more complex to use than the Peeron tool, but provides some very useful added functionality.
=== Basic Usage ===
* Fill in your actual latitude and longitude in ddd.dddddd format.  Use '-' for South or West.
* Click the '''Go''' button.
* Your current graticule will be shown as the center of the 9 maps, and each of the surrounding graticules will be shown in their relative positions.
* Below the map images, there is some useful information:
** A link to the wiki page for that graticule
** The coordinates in ddd mm.mmm format
** A straight-line distance to the point from the coordinates you entered
** Links to the point on Google, and Open Street Maps (OSM)
=== Other Useful Things ===
See the [[User:Ekorren/Hash_Inquiry_Tool|tool's page]] for more information on usage and features of this rather feature-rich calculator.
