− | [[Geohashing]] is an adventure, comprising journeys to random places within a given area. Every day, effectively [http://carabiner.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html random locations] are generated by an [[algorithm]] that achieves randomness using stock market data. It is a ''Spontaneous Adventure Generator''. A set of coordinates is generated for each 1°×1° latitude/longitude zone (known as a [[graticule]]) in the world. The coordinates can lie anywhere in the graticule — in the forest, in a city, on a mountain, or even [[Water Geohash | in the middle of a lake]]! Everyone in a given region gets the same set of coordinates relative to their graticule. | + | == Getting started == |
− | | + | * [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Configuration_settings Configuration settings list] |
− | The generated coordinates are used as destinations for adventures, ''à la'' [[wikipedia:Geocaching|Geocaching]], or for local meetups. After the fun, please '''[[expedition|document your expedition]]'''! The rest of us would love to read your story, see your photos, and cheer your success (or commiserate with your [[Achievements#Consolation_Prizes | failure]]). Join the other 'spot spotters', be out standing in your field and use this wiki to document the daily coordinates (geohashes) you’ve been to or tried to reach.

Just add your image name in the list at the “add yours” link. If the gallery hasn't been started yet, copy the format from the previous day, or [[Template:Expedition Images2/How-to|read the how-to]]. Please also write an account of your expedition, even if only a short one, so that people can click the link on your picture and find out more.
