Achievements

Three Geohashing Achievement Icons that can be earned.

As well as having the pure and genuine ecstacy of having reached a Geohash, many Geohashers like to compliment those feelings with the joy of having won an achievement. There are many different kinds of achievements, ranging from very easy to statistically impossible.

It is recommended that you take photographic proof to prove your achievement. This is, however, only important for proving to the community that you are an accomplished Geohasher and for many personal satisfaction is enough. Achievements are divided into three subsections. One section is for the comedic achievements, not very attainable and very unlikely anyone will do it, but still an achievement none-the-less. All other Achievements can be split into two groups based on the number of people that can attain the Geohash; "I'm Better Than You" Achievements and Basic Geohash Achievements.

MNIMB Geohash

"I'm Better than you" Achievements are the kind of achievement that only belongs to the best, that is, they have been to the highest mountain or the deepest cave, the coldest lake or the hottest desert to get a Geohash. Many of these require a level of extreme toughness (eg, highest), however, a handful of these take into account the story of how you got to the Geohash (eg, Sexiest).
