Did we get within 10 meters? I think we were when we rang the doorbell. We just didn't take any pictures right there. -- Jevanyn (talk)
- Achieving coordinates means "within the error window" and I always try for the exact spot. I've been on the wiki a *long* time and the only reference I ever see to "10 meters" is in some users posts. I don't think "within 10 meters" has ever been a measure for success. That's why we measure expeditions AND successes separately - both a great achievements! Heck, I've failed to reach the hashpoint 41 times so far. --Thomcat (talk) 15:30, 20 January 2015 (EST)
- Eh, I think one of the cool things about geohashing is that we're so laid back we let everyone measure "success" how they want as long as it's not crazy. Though, FWIW, my GPS had 35 feet when we rang, which works out to > 10 m... I'm not sure what your phone said though. -- OtherJack (talk) 15:32, 20 January 2015 (EST)
