Implementations/Apps
Geohashdroid (Android)
| This implementation IS FULLY 30W-compliant. |
Geohash Droid, a small, (so far) simple little Geohashing app for Android phones, can be found in the Android Marketplace as a free app. So far, it gets the stock and hash values, plots it out, and follows you as you get closer to it. It also has wiki-updating features (not since recaptcha was installed) and can automatically figure out what graticule has the closest point to where you are. Simple, effective. There's more stuff planned, but that's later.
The project itself is hosted on Google Code. The most recent version (as per this writing) is 0.7.10. If you go from the Marketplace (far easier), feel free to leave reviews and such. If you have something specific to say, either file an issue at the Google Code site, hit the group page, or email me.
Geohash for the iPhone
| This implementation IS PARTIALLY 30W-compliant. |
Geohash for the iPhone is available here in the app store (for free). The app is partially 30W compliant. It produces the correct coordinates, but doesn't allow you to select tomorrow's date (during the week) or Monday (from Friday afternoon onward). -- Contact: casey@kckd.org

Scottkuma worked feverishly to:
- learn Apple OSX Programming and...
- put together a geohash calculator for the Mac.
- Installation
It's a normal mac application - drag it to your Applications folder, OR just run it from inside the DMG. I think I compiled it as a Universal Binary. If you can't run it on a particular system and/or version of OSX, please let me know.
- Usage
Start by entering your graticule's Lat/Long numbers. The given numbers are for Cincinnati, Ohio.
For today's graticule, just click "Generate!" For dates in the past (or the near-future, for Saturday & Sunday graticules), select the date on the calendar, then click "Generate!"
- Known bugs
- Requires a valid network connection; locks pretty good when one doesn't exist.
- does not calculate east of -30 correctly for dates prior to 5/27/2008
- window doesn't lock its size like I thought it would...
- Planned enhancements
- will allow for saving of a known "home" location
- will calculate distance & bearing to a known location
- will calculate same for adjacent graticules to find a closer geohash
