In Switzerland, depending on the canton, there are different geoinformation systems that are more or less publicly accessible. Luckily, here in the canton of Zurich we have one of the best in the country: '''[https://maps.zh.ch/ GIS Browser]''' Since I work in an architectural office, I am familiar with coordinates and cadastral plans. From this portal we can download the exact borders, buildings and more and use them in our CAD systems. This data was officially measured and entered by the geometers. So these are accurate to the cm!

So I converted the coordinates into our [https://www.swisstopo.admin.ch/de/schweizer-koordinatensystem Swiss system] and then entered them into this GIS browser. Then I was able to measure the distance to the corner of the house pretty accurately. I saw that the point was outside the building.

Just out of curiosity, I opened the Geohash Droid app and looked at the position. I was 4.5m off the mark! And the point was finally in the building... Now this makes me uncertain for future expeditions, as my position was confirmed with the geomatics instruments, but was wrong with my smartphone. And this is probably not just because of the GPS inaccuracy...

Location

This Geohash is located in a back yard of the Gutschick district in Winterthur-Mattenbach (ZH), Switzerland.

Participants

Plans

Visiting this geohash in the free afternoon.

Expedition

Success!

Today's geohash is in the nearby town of Winterthur. According to the aerial photo, it is easy to get to. I had to get something from the hardware store today on my free afternoon anyway, so this is a good time. And I can also look for a nearby geocache.

The geocache was easy to find and so I arrived at the Gutschick development in the Mattenbach district. I quickly found a parking space. Then I walked around a building and found myself on a meadow next to the disposal site.

So I took my photos as evidence and saw some flags hanging. More on that in the following photos. Then I went back to the car and drove to the hardware store. Unfortunately no time for the nearby restaurant...
