Today's Location: [Toronto, Ontario]
The Toronto graticule is at latitude 43, longitude -79. It includes all of Toronto as well as a the surrounding areas. While most of the generated locations are reachable, the problem presented by Lake Ontario still arises occasionally. Citizens of the GTA, including those from the northern Aurora and Newmarket areas have been known to include themselves in this Graticule.
For those of you with Facebook accounts, a group for this graticule has been created here. Please feel free to join and upload any event photos and media there. If you are planning on scheduling any activities, or want to advertise a meet-up for a specific day, feel free to create a related event and invite your friends and members of the Geohash - Toronto group.
Water Issue
Because of the issue presented by Lake Ontario, if a day's graticule ends up being in the lake, a location on the nearest point of land directly west of the generated location will be used as a replacement meeting spot. Unless of course you own a seaplane, or a boat, or really enjoy swimming. In that case, go right ahead, and take photos while you're at it.
It has also been proposed that in this event we use the location in the Waterloo graticule directly west as a replacement. Which alternative is used for a particular day will most likely depend on the location and the number of people attending. Although a joint graticule meeting would be neat, perhaps in the future.
As well, it's suggested on the main page to use this alternative geohash location suggester. This seems to work just fine. Using a different graticule would most likely limit most people interested.
