The Dallas, Texas graticule is located around latitude 32, longitude -96. This area is mostly land, but does include a number of lakes. For some purposes, it could also include visitors from areas up to President George Bush Turnpike commonly referred to as Far North Dallas. The graticule contains a mix of both urban and country locations which should lead to an interesting mix of meeting places.

Residents of Richardson, Garland, Rowlett, Rockwall, etc. might consider the McKinney graticule instead on days when the destination is in the southern half of the graticule.


Today's Location: [Dallas, TX]

Local Geohashers

  • MTset{} is considering geohashing near Dallas on the weekends
  • JMH is going to start geohashing! with his iPhone.
  • Belgernon lives in Richardson and will be geohashing in the Dallas/McKinney graticules. I hope there's more geohashers than just these three in Dallas.
