== About ==

I am a Finnish outdoors person, geocacher and orienteer. I heard about geohashing at about the same time I started geocaching in 2013, but only in April 2019 did I actually get around to creating an account.

Geocaching profile: [https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=defdf5b6-0aa7-48f7-b147-a831b88e0be3 Kripakko]

Home graticule since 2023-01-28: [[Kempele, Finland | Kempele, Finland (64,25)]]

Old home graticule until 2023-01-28: [[Joensuu, Finland | Joensuu, Finland (62,29)]]

== Tools and stuff ==

My graticule partitioner (work in progress): [https://kripakko.neocities.org/geohash_regions]
<!-- My list of graticules and municipalities in the North Karelia region: [[User:Kripakko/North Karelia]] -->

My retrohash search tool (work in progress): [https://kripakko.neocities.org/geohash_retro]

Quick & Dirty Geohash Navigator, a simple navigation app that runs in the web browser (more or less finished): [https://kripakko.neocities.org/qdgn]

If you need a link to a hashpoint in geohashing.info, you can use my redirect page<span style="font-family:monospace;font-weight:bold;font-size:larger"> https&#x3A;//kripakko.neocities.org/geohash_maplink?<span style="color:red">&lt;date&gt;</span>_<span style="color:red">&lt;latitude&gt;</span>_<span style="color:red">&lt;longitude&gt;</span></span> which puts you nicely centred to the hashpoint. Example: [https://kripakko.neocities.org/geohash_maplink?2024-04-21_65_25]

I have created a template for displaying links to National Land Survey of Finland's topographic map: [[Template:MapSiteLink]]. Anyone in Finland is free to use it too if they want to.<br>
Same for Sweden: [[Template:MinKartaLink]]

A better alternative for Finland: Just link to<span style="font-family:monospace;font-weight:bold;font-size:larger"> https&#x3A;//kripakko.neocities.org/geohash_maplink?<span style="color:red">&lt;date&gt;</span>_<span style="color:red">&lt;latitude&gt;</span>_<span style="color:red">&lt;longitude&gt;</span>K </span> which will redirect you to the map service. Remember to add "K" or "k" in the end as without it you'll be redirected to geohashing.info instead as above. Example: [https://kripakko.neocities.org/geohash_maplink?2024-04-21_65_25K]

In an expedition report you could do just<span style="font-family:monospace;font-weight:bold;font-size:larger"> &#x5B;https&#x3A;//kripakko.neocities.org/geohash_maplink?&#x7B;&#x7B;#replace:&#x7B;&#x7B;SUBPAGENAME&#x7D;&#x7D;| |_&#x7D;&#x7D;K&#x5D; </span>which automatically uses the geohash of that page.
