Ahh, so it's the maximum deviation from the straight line. Is there an easy way to determine that from a GPS tracklog, or would you have to eye it?  I bet someone could write an app. All you need is an icon. '''support''' -[[User:Robyn|Robyn]] 17:15, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

:I have been thinking about that. It is pretty easy to determine it afterwards, by drawing a few lines on the map. And while planning beforehand, you can determine a reasonable route to take... it might just be tricky to know how far you ''currently'' are from your line. If you have a track/follow mode on your GPS, you could probably store a simple two point track to display, which is a straight line. -- [[User:relet|relet]] 19:08, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

support - for the record. -- relet

I think we need to get a firm limit of ratio. Say a maximum of 1.1m traveled for 1m of straight line distance. I don't know that the actual ratio should be, only that we need a limit to have a definitive definition of what meets the requirement and what doesn't.

support - Neat idea, could lead to some interesting adventures. Should air or ocean travel be permitted? -- Phyzome 18:54, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

needs work I say this only because I agree with aperfectring that it needs a limit. I'd suggest putting in an example calculation. With that done, I would class this as 'difficult but hilarious' and give it my full support. Explain the name. -Robyn 23:48, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments. I have suggested a ratio of 1:20 for now.. we can change that if it becomes too easy. I have also added the introductory line from wikipedia as an explanation of the term. -- relet 09:20, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
