How about a "how do I know if I'm there?" - especially for those times when the GPS refuses to reach 0.00m remaining? I've been pretty much going by Robyn's standards for reaching the point, but that's on her page and not any central/"official" list. -- [[User:Rhonda|Rhonda]] 04:09, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

=="Close Enough"==

I've had to mark both of my attempts this week as "no public access". But to make myself feel better, I've decided that (when analysing my tracklog) a point whose distance to the hashpoint is less than 1% of the distance walked to get there is "close enough". Maybe not for the rules; but good enough for my own sense of satisfaction. I wanted to ask if others did anything similar, but this is the only page I can find with reference to how close you need to be.

This definitely was overdue for its own page. The recurring discussion on late/shifting coordinates needs to be added as an FAQ, and a general answer to "I did X, does it qualify for an achievement?" -Robyn 08:54, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

"Close Enough"

I've had to mark both of my attempts this week as "no public access". But to make myself feel better, I've decided that (when analysing my tracklog) a point whose distance to the hashpoint is less than 1% of the distance walked to get there is "close enough". Maybe not for the rules; but good enough for my own sense of satisfaction. I wanted to ask if others did anything similar, but this is the only page I can find with reference to how close you need to be. -- Angel 10:41, 17 October 2012 (EDT)
