About
The Copenhagen graticule is at latitude 55, longitude 12. It completely encloses Copenhagen (and almost all of Copenhagen Capital Region), a bit of Malmö and Sweden and about a third of Zealand in general. The graticule is about 60% water, making reachable geohashes a little sparser than normal.
Apparently there are no Pirates in 55 12.
Notable Dates
- 2008-05-25 55 12 - First ever Copenhagen graticule point reached by SolidHydrogen on a country lane near Meløse. It was a fantastic adventure, but a lonely affair.
