[[Israel]] seems to be actively using one. [[San Juan, Puerto Rico]] is not active, but if it becomes so, it's a good example since it's a relatively rectangular island. -- [[User:Jevanyn|Jevanyn]] 15:01, 26 January 2009 (UTC) | [[Israel]] seems to be actively using one.

Shouldn't this template be used as a way to flag locations that use an alternate algorithm? The warning seems more appropriate for the usage section of the template. -- Jevanyn 21:02, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Sounds like a good idea to me. Is any active graticule using an alternate algorithm? I was under the impression that they were the exclusive purvey of the people who are more interested in the theoretical aspects of geohashing than the actual pursuit of geohashes. -Robyn 01:23, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
