 29 / m / 49,9AboutI live in Würzburg, Germany (near 49.8, 9.94) and work in Schweinfurt (near 50.05, 10.25). On my way to work I am able to visit hashpoints in a large area, depending on which route I use. Since I have visited lots of hashpoints by now, I'm not visiting all reachable hashpoints any more. I will still go, a) if the hashpoint is very near, e.g. in walking distance; b) if the hashpoint is in cycling distance and the weather is okay; c) if I'm in a foreign country or in a different graticule; d) if I can meet people; e) if unusual achievements are waiting, e.g. regional geohash or hashiversary; f) if there is something special at the hashpoint, landscape- or sightseeing-wise. I might also visit hashpoints near Heidelberg in my origin graticule Mannheim, Germany (49, 8). My GPS receivers are a Magellan Triton 500 (has a map, coordinates in DD.DDDDD° format, also shows distance/accuracy/..., but eats lots of batteries) and a Holux M-241 (no map, coordinates in DD°mm'ss.ss" format, logs the position faithfully every 5/10/... seconds, eats only small amount of batteries).

More AboutEarlier, when I didn't have a GPS, I relied on Google Maps, the Bavarian Land Survey Office's maps (with topographical information) and OpenStreetMap.org to find the hashpoints. This meant that whenever there was no special landmark (intersection, house...) at the hashpoint, I could only guess where the hashpoint was. If the hashpoint was e.g. in a forest 200 m from a track, I considered the coordinates reached after 200 large steps into the underbrush. Although I always try to get to the exact spot, if the hashpoint is in a field with crops or in a very dirty/wet place without any obstacle between me and the hashpoint, I am satisfied at the edge of that area.
For those of you who use Firefox: Have a look at the minimap sidebar add-on. It supports Google Maps and OpenStreetMap and it tells you the exact coordinates the cursor is on. Disclaimer and thanks: Ideas for this page were Many thanks to Hessophanes for his great Regional-Geohash-Map-Tool. Also to ekorren for his Hash Inquiry Tool which even works via foreign mobile phone networks (so far tested for Austria, Italy, Sweden and Japan). This page is maintained by myself.
