It is a ''Spontaneous Adventure Generator''. A set of coordinates is generated for each 1°×1° latitude/longitude zone (known as a [[graticule]]) in the worldThe coordinates can lie anywhere in the graticule — in the forest, in a city, on a mountain, or even [[Water Geohash | in the middle of a lake]]! Everyone in a given region gets the same set of coordinates relative to their graticule.

Grey can be another great option for its power to shut the sunshine. Blue isn't your best option as it might cause a glare.
