Welcome! Glad to have you in the sport -- we have a [[hash collision achievement]] for when the stars align and you get to hash and cache in the same trip :) Just curious about the [[48,7]] location in your screenshot -- was that for {{egl|2021-01-03|48|7}}?

Hi! I'm not too sure about how to use the talk page, I guess I just have to edit this? Or should I do this on your page? Anyway, I was wrong. The marker I saw just next to me was the center of my graticule, and not the geohash. T_T
