Välkommen till Geohashing Communityns Wiki. Geohashing är en metod för att hitta en slumpmässig plats i närheten och besöka den, med andra ord en Spontan Äventyrsgenerator. Geohashing startades av internetserien xkcd.

De flesta sidorna på denna wiki är på engelska. Du hittar de svenska sidorna i kategorin Category:Swedish pages.

Vad är detta?

Algoritmen som den visas på xkcd comic #426, published on 21 May 2008.

Varje dag genererar algoritmen en ny uppsättning koordinater för varje 1°×1° latitud-/longitudzon (även känd som en kvadrant) i världen. Koordinaterna kan hamna var som helst - i en skog, i en stad, på ett berg eller till och med mitt i en sjö! Alla i en given region får samma koordinater i deras kvadrant.

Som sådant kan dessa koordinater användas som färdmål för äventyr, à la Geocaching, eller för lokala träffar. Efter allt det roliga är det dags att dokumentera din expedition! Resten av oss vill hemskt gärna läsa din historia, titta på dina foton och jubla åt din succé (eller sörga din förlust). Du kan använda den här wikin för att dokumentera de dagliga koordinater (geohasher) du varit vid eller försökt komma åt.

Officiella möten med xkcd

Felix Dance, Mdixon4, Rhonda, Lachie and Stevage meet up at the 28 December 2015 (a Monday) coordinates for Bairnsdale, VIC, Australia.

Based on the title text from the comic that established geohashing, the "official" meetup day was interpreted as being Saturday; that is, the day one would have the best chance of meeting others -- see also Mouseover Day. Additionally it was decided through convention that a good meeting time would be 16:00 local time (4:00 P.M.)¹

However, neither of these are hard rules, and they were formulated at a very different early stage in the sport's history. Nowadays and for quite awhile actually, any date or time can be good (or bad, depending on how many other hashers are near you) for meeting up, especially if prearranged. Note that this only applies to that day’s normal local geohash or globalhash coordinates, if you try to go to an alternate location without telling anyone else, it's highly unlikely you'd meet up with a hasher there (obviously).

¹Or earlier if that would be too close to sunset during the winter, or other quirks of temporal tradition; see your local graticule page for consensus there.


Tidigare och kommande koordinater

The coordinates for the Saturday meetups on 23 November 2024 are now available. The coordinates for the next Saturday meetups, scheduled for 30 November 2024, will be based on the Dow's opening price published at 09:30 EST (14:30 UTC) on Friday 29 November. See timeanddate.com to convert this time to your local time zone.

Disclaimer: When any coordinates generated by the Geohashing algorithm fall within a dangerous area, are inaccessible, or would require illegal trespass, DO NOT attempt to reach them. Please research each potential location before attempting to access it. You are expected to use proper judgment in all cases and are solely responsible for your own actions. See more guidelines.

Gallery of Recent Expeditions

The gallery for each day is added to this page automatically, but pictures are selected to the gallery by us. Any geohasher is welcome to add a picture from that day. Just add your image name in the list at the “add yours” link. If the gallery hasn't been started yet, copy the format from the previous day, or read the how-to. Please also write an account of your expedition, even if only a short one, so that people can click the link on your picture and find out more.
