This is a proposal made on 2010-06-28. Please leave comments and suggestions on Talk:Juggernaut achievement, indicating whether you:
  • Support the proposal
  • Do not oppose it
  • Oppose (this option requires you to watch the page and return to comment on modifications), or
  • Think it Needs work before you can decide.

See Proposed achievements for more information on this process.

To gain this achievement, you must attempt to reach a geohash in a straight line from your home, office, or other reasonably permanent location of residence. Obstacles should, wherever possible, be overcome instead of circumvented. Your local trespassing laws should, of course, be observed.

You are encouraged to list the necessary deviation from the straight line as a ratio - Maximum deviation from the straight line : Total distance of the geohash. You may choose freely whether to use a straight line in a commonly used projection system or the great circle as the definition of a straight line. Differences in altitude are not to be considered.

Note: I am not trying to establish a(nother) contest here. I'm after the stories.

Proof

The optimal proof would consist of a GPS tracklog. Other options include a video or a series of photos documenting your turns and the obstacles encountered in reasonable depth.

Tbd. Should include start, destination and deviation.
