Revision as of 10:12, 26 May 2013
 31 / m / 49,9AboutI live and work in Würzburg, Germany (near 49.8, 9.95). From September 2009 to March 2013 I worked at Schweinfurt (near 50.05, 10.25) and visited many hashpoints on my way to and from work. Since I have visited lots of hashpoints by now, I'm not visiting all reachable hashpoints any more. I will still go, a) if the hashpoint is very near, e.g. in walking distance; b) if the hashpoint is in cycling distance and the weather is okay; c) if I can meet people; d) if I'm in a foreign country or in a different graticule; e) if unusual achievements are waiting, e.g. regional geohash or hashiversary; f) if there is something special at the hashpoint, landscape- or sightseeing-wise. I might also visit hashpoints near Heidelberg in my origin graticule Mannheim, Germany (49, 8). My GPS receivers are a Magellan Triton 500 (has a map, coordinates in DD.DDDDD° format, also shows distance/accuracy/..., but eats lots of batteries) and a Holux M-241 (no map, coordinates in DD°mm'ss.ss" format, logs the position faithfully every 5/10/... seconds, eats only small amount of batteries).

More AboutEarlier, when I didn't have a GPS, I relied on Google Maps, the Bavarian Land Survey Office's maps (with topographical information) and OpenStreetMap.org to find the hashpoints. This meant that whenever there was no special landmark (intersection, house...) at the hashpoint, I could only guess where the hashpoint was. If the hashpoint was e.g. in a forest 200 m from a track, I considered the coordinates reached after 200 large steps into the underbrush. Although I always try to get to the exact spot, if the hashpoint is in a field with crops or in a very dirty/wet place without any obstacle between me and the hashpoint, I am satisfied at the edge of that area.
Disclaimer and thanks: Ideas for this page were Many thanks to Hessophanes for his great Regional-Geohash-Map-Tool. Also to ekorren for his Hash Inquiry Tool which even works via foreign mobile phone networks (so far tested for Austria, Italy, Sweden and Japan). This page is maintained by myself. Automatic or manual updates will have no effect, because I'll just overwrite them with a copy on my hard drive, probably without noticing your changes. Use my talk page instead. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
