Re 7.65 meters: what's the error radius on your phone gps?
Anyhow, I ended up staying at work all evening and being productive. Though a daytime visit to this hashpoint might have been interesting if I'd taken the time...

- Entertaining, and a bit scary.
- Anyhow, the error radius on the phone GPS varies depending on how many satellites are connected, the same as most GPS I think. I'm not sure where 10 meters comes from; on an average day it seems to be 2 meters or so. The nice thing about GeoHashAndroid is that the circle turns green when you are within the error radius, and you get a message on the screen saying "You are there!" --Thomcat (talk) 23:18, 22 October 2013 (EDT)
