Location

The backyard of 16341 Interlake Ave North in Shoreline.

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Check it out on the way to work - roughly 7:40 am.

Expedition

Swung by, took a photo of the front of the house, then looped around to park near the house, the better to validate re-calibration of Geohash Android. House is not for sale, geohash point is in the back yard by the shed, expedition ends there (unless the owner reads this website today and claims couch potato).

Calibration

Assuming Google Maps and Bing Maps are able to reflect a Latitude/Longitude near Seattle correctly:

The number posted to the webpage was inaccurate - resulting in the corner of the house. Roughly 6-10 meters?
The number posted on the photo was highly accurate, showing where I was parked on the street.

Photos
