Good one. -Robyn 04:12, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Would these visits all have to be in this grat? OR would others in the same region count? -- UnwiseOwl 04:17, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
I think they all have to be in the same grat. So you need to wait for the right coords. --joannac 04:20, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Dang, that would rule out my entire state. Stupid sensible borders. Looks like I'm coming to visit you in the ACT to get this one, Joannac, get the red cordial ready-- UnwiseOwl 04:30, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
I don't suppose a centicule counts as a "region"? Sure, they're completely imaginary (but then again, so are legal borders?)--PacoBell 20:03, 10 February 2012 (EST)
- I'd say, they don't. Regions here are political/administrational regions, which exist without the geohasher defining them. If you really successfully hashed in every centicule of a graticule, that might be impressing enough to be an achievement of its own anyway ;) --Ekorren 03:12, 11 February 2012 (EST)
Honorable mention proposal
Yesterday on the Discord channel, Kripakko introduced a useful tool to identify which regions of a given administrative level are part of a given graticule. Leidenfrost then noticed that the current top two of the reverse regional geohash achievement are not complete yet.
NWoodruff has reached geohashes in 21 out of 23 counties in Atlanta, Georgia, missing Newton County (0.23% of the graticule) and Upson County (0.0014%) so far. The other case is Pedalpusher reaching coordinates in 7 out of 8 counties in Buffalo, New York, not reaching Potter County (0.0010%) so far.
Instead of removing the two from the page, I am proposing a section for honorable mentions for cases like Pedalpusher's where the regions that were not reached cover less than a certain threshhold, e.g. 0.1%. Full disclosure though: I am in a similar situation in Hannover, Germany, with Peine County covering 0.0036% of the graticule.
In NWoodruff's case, I'd say it should be an honorable mention too if Upson County was the only missing one. However, Newton County's area is not negligable, so I am proposing a third section for candidates, where anyone who is close to winning this achievement or getting an honorable mention may put their list.
