Bicycle Geohashes

I'm catching up to you man! only 80 more kilometers to go! Thepiguy 20:25, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, it's up. 237km. I feel bad though, your last geohash would have ended up being >240 if you hadn't hurt your ankle! Oh well, I'll race you to the xkcd-100 achievement! Only 320km!

Track logs

I saw that you put up your GPS tack long onto google maps. Is that easy to do, or do I need special software? Thepiguy 20:12, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

(I just tried to do the same and found the EveryTrail website to be really easy to use. -- Relet 22:31, 20 August 2008 (UTC))

I use http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map?form=googleearth to convert my gdb-files to kmz/kml. Store them myself and link to them in google maps. It can also be done with other gps-logfiles.--Arvid 16:13, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

-Now he's -31 years old. I wonder if he lives his life in reverse, and knows where all the geohashes are ahead of time. (And re: "Plus there were the Indians and Vikings, and Chinese." Yes, but they didn't properly document their visits.)
