- oppose - too easy. I do this on almost every hash. -- relet 12:11, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
- needs work - I agree with relet, however there is a Land geohash achievement, so... And maybe it would be a good motivation for some geohashers to look at open source ? Also, I think the definition must be more precise, eg my N810 runs Linux but comes with proprietary map software. Does it count if I use it to reach a hashpoint ? --Crox 23:11, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose - I don't see the achievement in this. Either you do it anyway, or you won't do it for the achievement. The latter may well be because you simply do not own any of those gadgets, and don't need them, so prefer to not spend the money to buy one. So, in the end this achievement is about showing off your costly possessions, not about making an expedition any more interesting or creating additional hardships. If you don't base it on owning/using a specific class of mobile electronic device, it would end up in getting that achievement for using the coordinates of the day, since they were created with open-source software; or an OSM printout. You can't be serious about calling that an achievement. --Ekorren 10:46, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
