My home coordinates are plusminus 48.53,9.06 in the city of Tuebingen, Germany. I was born in Erlangen and lived for a long time in the north-western part of 49,11 where I still am from time to time.

I want to geohash mostly by bicycle or public transport, but I will make short detours (less than 5km one way), if a geohash is near to a route I'm driving by car anyway.

Geohashes

Finally I started with geohashing after years of just watching and checking the coordinates like once every few months :)

  • Peugeot 107 (cheating, only if too near to skip!)

Achievements

Only the first ribbon is listed for achievements I acquired more than once.

People missed

Minesweeper

For an easy overview take a look the awesome map by NWoodruf or use the table below. It contains the first successful hash for each graticule. I only included graticules for which I know I will be travelling through or staying in at least for a few days per year and thus there is a small possibility to get them, if the algorithm is kind enough! Those with brackets are even more unlikely to get anytime soon, a star (*) means I attempted this graticule but failed.

Bash Script

As I always forget to look up the coordinates, I hacked this (very ugly) bash script to let a daily cronjob inform me per email, whenever a geohash is near to me:

#!/bin/bash

maxdistance=15

a=$(curl 'http://tjum.anthill.de/cgi-bin/geohash.cgi?lat=48.53&lon=9.06&nr=1&map=0&size=240x240&t=&date=&unit=km' 2>/dev/null |
iconv -f 'iso8859-1' -t 'utf8' |
sed  's/<br>/\n/g' |
sed 's/ / /g' |
fgrep 'km' |
cut -d ':' -f2 |
cut -d 'k' -f1 | 
sort -n |
head -n 1 |
cut -d '.' -f 1)

echo $a

if [ $a -lt $maxdistance ]
then
	echo 'http://tjum.anthill.de/cgi-bin/geohash.cgi?t=1&nr=o&unit=km&zoom=11%2F5&zoom=8%2F2&type=roadmap&lat=48.53&lon=9.06&size=240x240' | 
	mail -s "geohash is near to tuebingen ($a)" USERNAME
fi

I just parses the small hash inquiry tool from Ekorren in the most complicated way and sends the mail via a local mailserver :)
