Activity
- Are there any other active users besides myself in this graticule?...I find it hard to believe that with an approximate population of 10million and a few large universities within, that no-one else has noticed this concept. Come on! --MB 13:02, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Graticule Name
- Should this graticule not be named Merseyside? From Liverpool myself, just waiting for the right one to travel to. Also should we decide on some sort of sign to spot other geohashers if it lands in built up area? eg a frisbee --T
- Well, the graticule covers 85% of Greater Manchester but Liverpool is cut down the middle by the -2 longitude line. Its hard to determine a name that covers every area, e.g. preston definitely wouldn't be covered by Merseyside, but neither is it covered by Manchester. North West seems like a compromise, but that label covers too much area AND doesn't fit with the naming of the other Graticules in the UK or elsewhere. --MB 09:58, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Markers for other Geohashers
- My strategy would be go around asking anyone in the area "Do the letters XKCD mean anything to you?" while wearing an XKCD T-Shirt to make it obvious from a distance. --MB 09:58, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
