| − | |style="color:#000;"| Welcome to the '''Geohashing Community Wiki'''. [[Geohashing]] is a method for finding an effectively random location nearby and visiting it, i.e. a ''Spontaneous Adventure Generator''. Geohashing was brought to you by the [[xkcd]] webcomic. | + | |style="color:#000;"| {{Welcome}} |

| − | [[Image:Coordinates.png|right|240 px|[[The Algorithm]], as shown in [[xkcd]] [http://www.xkcd.com/426/ comic #426].]]
| |
| − | Every day, [[algorithm | the algorithm]] generates a new set of coordinates for each 1°×1° latitude/longitude zone (known as a [[graticule]]) in the world. The coordinates can be anywhere -- 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As such, these coordinates can be used as destinations for adventures, ''à la'' [[wikipedia:Geocaching|Geocaching]], or for local meetups. After the fun, why not [[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]]). You can use this wiki to document the daily coordinates (geohashes) you’ve been to or tried to reach.
