I live in the '''[http://carabiner.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?date={{LOCALYEAR}}-{{LOCALMONTH}}-{{LOCALDAY2}}&lat=42&long=-88&zoom=9&abs=-1 41,-86]''' graticule and go to school in the '''[http://carabiner.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?date={{LOCALYEAR}}-{{LOCALMONTH}}-{{LOCALDAY2}}&lat=41&long=-88&zoom=9&abs=-1 40,-86]''' graticule.  My boyfriend [http://wiki.xkcd.com/geohashing/User:StatMan22] got me interested in geohashing.  He recently bought a GPS so we use that on our adventures we do together.  I only have my smartphone to help me if I ever choose to go out by myself.  Not as accurate, but it isn't awful!

About Me

My permanent home is in the 41,-86 graticule and go to school (and live) in the 40,-86 graticule. My boyfriend StatMan22 got me interested in geohashing. He recently bought a GPS so we use that on our adventures we do together.

Equipment

I only have my smartphone which is not as accurate as a straight up GPS, but it will do.

Cameras

  • iPhone
  • Canon SX210IS
  • Nikon D5100
