| |
| − | '''Q:''' How do I get started?
| |
| | | | |
| − | : '''A:''' You will need a GPS receiver or [[No Batteries Geohash | another way]] to locate coordinates. '''iPhone users''' can [http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284951057&mt=8. download the app from the iTunes store]. (needs iTunes/iPhone)

| |
| − | '''Q:''' Are there any geohashers in my area?

| − | : '''A:''' See [[:Category:Active Graticules]] for a list of graticules with active users in them.
| |
| − | :* Don't see your home area? Follow the format and create a page for it! We'd love to have you!
| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Q:''' I don't have a car, how am I supposed to participate in this sport?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :'''A:''' Some of the most avid geohashers don't use cars. Geohashing is suitable for [[Bicycle Geohashes|bicycles]] or by public transit.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Q:''' Is it okay to visit a geohash location in a neighbouring graticule instead of my “own” one?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | : '''A:''' Sure! There’s no rule saying you can't visit other graticules, and in some cases (for example, [[San Francisco, California|San Francisco]]), you would almost have to in order to actually access a hashpoint. Geohashing is about meeting other people, and it doesn't matter whether you do that here or there. In fact, finding a new mix of people might be a good thing. Go ahead and geohash on vacation for all we care!

| − |
| |
| − | '''Q:''' What do I do when I get there?
| |
| − |
| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Q:''' Is there a Facebook group for my area?
| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | : '''A:''' See [[Radio Communications]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Q:''' I tried to use the md5sum from my unix/linux command line and the hash was not the same as the comic. What is the correct command line?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | : '''A:''' You probably forgot the “-n” (echo without a newline). Try this to match the example:
| |
| − | : <code>echo -n 2005-05-26-10458.68 | md5sum</code>
| |
| − | : The md5sum command may be called md5 instead.
