About

Today's location

The Oslo graticule is at latitude 59, longitude 10. High probability of geohash coordinates being in water or the middle of nowhere far away from any road.

Land usage, as reported by kartverk databases, and the Land usage script:

Category   SK      Land Usage  Category
Forest     51.36%  47.36%      Forest
Swamp       0.05% 
Sea        25.93%  37.62%      Water
Lakes       1.97%
Rivers      0.11%
Open       12.50%  9.91%       Fields/Wilderness
Urban       8.09%  2.42%       Settlements
                   1.19%       Near Roads
                   1.19%       Near Highways
                   0.24%       Natural reserves/Parks
                   0.08%       Industrial/Restricted

Since it covers a significant amount of the population in Norway, you'd think we might get something more going.

Local Geohashers

Enno, who is living in Oslo and does not have a car but likes to walk and play football. On TV. Every Wednesday.

  • 2008-08-01 was reached by Chimera and hbrx, whats the odds, meeting another geohasher at the site without agreement?
