Home graticule: [[Joensuu, Finland | Joensuu, Finland (62,29)]]
+
Home graticule since 2023-01-28: [[Kempele, Finland | Kempele, Finland (64,25)]]
 +
 
 +
Old home graticule until 2023-01-28: [[Joensuu, Finland | Joensuu, Finland (62,29)]]
 +
 
 +
== Tools and stuff ==
 +
 
 +
My graticule partitioner (work in progress): [https://kripakko.neocities.org/geohash_regions]
 +
<!-- My list of graticules and municipalities in the North Karelia region: [[User:Kripakko/North Karelia]] -->
 +
 
 +
My retrohash search tool (work in progress): [https://kripakko.neocities.org/geohash_retro]
 +
 
 +
Quick & Dirty Geohash Navigator, a simple navigation app that runs in the web browser (more or less finished): [https://kripakko.neocities.org/qdgn]
 +
 
 +
If you need a link to a hashpoint in geohashing.info, you can use my redirect page<span style="font-family:monospace;font-weight:bold;font-size:larger"> https&#x3A;//kripakko.neocities.org/geohash_maplink?<span style="color:red">&lt;date&gt;</span>_<span style="color:red">&lt;latitude&gt;</span>_<span style="color:red">&lt;longitude&gt;</span></span> which puts you nicely centred to the hashpoint. Example: [https://kripakko.neocities.org/geohash_maplink?2024-04-21_65_25]
 +
 
 +
I have created a template for displaying links to National Land Survey of Finland's topographic map: [[Template:MapSiteLink]]. Anyone in Finland is free to use it too if they want to.<br>
 +
Same for Sweden: [[Template:MinKartaLink]]
 +
 
 +
A better alternative for Finland: Just link to<span style="font-family:monospace;font-weight:bold;font-size:larger"> https&#x3A;//kripakko.neocities.org/geohash_maplink?<span style="color:red">&lt;date&gt;</span>_<span style="color:red">&lt;latitude&gt;</span>_<span style="color:red">&lt;longitude&gt;</span>K </span> which will redirect you to the map service. Remember to add "K" or "k" in the end as without it you'll be redirected to geohashing.info instead as above. Example: [https://kripakko.neocities.org/geohash_maplink?2024-04-21_65_25K]
 +
 
 +
In an expedition report you could do just<span style="font-family:monospace;font-weight:bold;font-size:larger"> &#x5B;https&#x3A;//kripakko.neocities.org/geohash_maplink?&#x7B;&#x7B;#replace:&#x7B;&#x7B;SUBPAGENAME&#x7D;&#x7D;| |_&#x7D;&#x7D;K&#x5D; </span>which automatically uses the geohash of that page.
 +
 
 +
== Visited graticules ==
 +
 
 +
Numbers of successful expeditions in each graticule.
 +
 
 +
<span style="color:#0aa">Cyan</span> = old home graticule until 2023-01-28<br>

<span style="color:#0a0">Green</span> = current home graticule<br>

About

I am a Finnish outdoors person, geocacher and orienteer. I heard about geohashing at about the same time I started geocaching in 2013, but only in April 2019 did I actually get around to creating an account.

Geocaching profile: Kripakko

Home graticule since 2023-01-28: Kempele, Finland (64,25)

Old home graticule until 2023-01-28: Joensuu, Finland (62,29)

Tools and stuff

My graticule partitioner (work in progress): [1]

My retrohash search tool (work in progress): [2]

Quick & Dirty Geohash Navigator, a simple navigation app that runs in the web browser (more or less finished): [3]

If you need a link to a hashpoint in geohashing.info, you can use my redirect page https://kripakko.neocities.org/geohash_maplink?<date>_<latitude>_<longitude> which puts you nicely centred to the hashpoint. Example: [4]

I have created a template for displaying links to National Land Survey of Finland's topographic map: Template:MapSiteLink. Anyone in Finland is free to use it too if they want to.
Same for Sweden: Template:MinKartaLink

A better alternative for Finland: Just link to https://kripakko.neocities.org/geohash_maplink?<date>_<latitude>_<longitude>K which will redirect you to the map service. Remember to add "K" or "k" in the end as without it you'll be redirected to geohashing.info instead as above. Example: [5]

In an expedition report you could do just [https://kripakko.neocities.org/geohash_maplink?{{#replace:{{SUBPAGENAME}}| |_}}K] which automatically uses the geohash of that page.
