Template talk:Alternate algorithm

Shouldn't this template be used as a way to flag locations that use an alternate algorithm? The warning seems more appropriate for the usage section of the template. -- Jevanyn 21:02, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea to me. Is any active graticule using an alternate algorithm? I was under the impression that they were the exclusive purvey of the people who are more interested in the theoretical aspects of geohashing than the actual pursuit of geohashes. -Robyn 01:23, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Israel seems to be actively using one. San Juan, Puerto Rico is not active, but if it becomes so, it's a good example since it's a relatively rectangular island. -- Jevanyn 15:01, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Israel seems to have a great algorithm --and a frighteningly valid reason for needing one-- but sadly they don't appear to have ever made an expedition. I'm so glad the worst hazards to geohashing in my graticule are swamps, mountains and watersheds. I'll dream of a day when all geohashers can reach any coordinates in peace. -Robyn 22:43, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
