This user earned the OpenStreetMap achievement

by contributing to OpenStreetMap based on their expedition to the ({{{latitude}}}, {{{longitude}}}) geohash on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

This achievement may be claimed when you contribute one or more new geographical features worth adding to https://openstreetmap.org. You can claim this achievement even if the expedition was unsuccessful, especially if the map features you add explain your failure (such as a `natural=cliff` that made you Mother Nature's Bitch).

The feature(s) must be at least partially in sight of the hashpoint (this will likely be the case for large entities; an entire lake or airstrip need not be visible).

See the equivalent page on the OSM wiki: wosm:geohashing, and also how to get some swag to put in any nearby geocaching boxes (don't litter at the hashpoint, instead geotrash according to the Leave No Trace principles) or to give locals as a gift: wosm:OSM Promotional Material Programme#Individuals.

Proof

Describe the feature(s) you added and give a link to the OSM coordinates. If appropriate, include a screen shot of the OSM feature(s).

Background

Like Geotrashing, adding to OpenStreetMap is a publically-spirited thing to do...and perhaps more lasting.

Perhaps we can encourage OSM editors to take up geohashing. The two activities fit well together. Visit a random place and if it's interesting, put it on the map.
