From Geohashing

Types of Multihash - agree or disagree?
- Visiting multiple coordinates in one graticule. The only "letigimate" ones you could visit on a given day are
- the current day's coordinates OR the proposed alternate meetup location
- the coordinate of your birth (or Origin Geohash)
- Visiting multiple graticules in a single day. Except for time zones (or time machines), only one set of coordinates will be at the "official" 4:00 time, of course.
The problem is, the Multihash achievement doesn't specify which of these (although it leans to the latter, listing a "triple" geohash and more). Should both types qualify for this achievement?--Thomcat
- I believe I can consider this question answered, per the Template:Multihash. The former qualifies for "Origin" geohash; the latter for Multihash.--Thomcat 22:50, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Passing through a geohash before its time?
What is it called when you travel through a spot that a few days later becomes a geohash location? See 2008-08-23 39 -74. -- Jevanyn 18:27, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
- The antonym of retro, perhaps = Posi-hash? Or perhaps Fore-hash (accepting any confusion with a Golf geohash)? Seriously, though, a geohash is only valid for 24 hours, with "origin geohash" getting special dispensation. As in the case above, an origin is not part of a multi-hash - I don't think this should be either. Now, if you had an infant with you who was born on that day... --Thomcat 19:26, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
