Definitely not - I figured that combining a GPS with a carrier of some sort is a creative act. I didn't go with the RC Geohash idea because I didn't want to exclude kites, and I wanted to make it as general as possible. Any suggestions as to phrasing will be appreciated. --[[User:Pardey|Pardey]] 05:20, 20 October 2008 (UTC) | Definitely not - I figured that combining a GPS with a carrier of some sort is a creative act.

| + | Do you really need to actually send a GPS device in with the RC unit? There are plenty of geohashers who don't actually use a GPS (as for many locations in certain parts of the world it's quite possible to be extremely accurate using map data). What if, for example, you sent in an RC car / plane with a camera and took a photo of the RC unit at or over the hashpoint? For a normal geohash this would be suitable if you went instead of the RC unit (ie without any GPS)...--[[User:CJ|CJ]] 12:04, 20 October 2008 (UTC) | ||
