I can't figure out how to generate a hash. There's no right-click functionality and I'm not about to input coordinates when I should be able to just click the map. What am I not understanding here?


Something is even wrong with going to coordinates... I entered 53,40 and it took me to 53.437500,39.375000.

I'm guessing the hash is what ends up in the URL which is https://mro.name/g/uc


the less digits you give, the less precise your input looks, the bigger the geohash tile you're in and the bigger the difference between your input and the tile's center.

Add more digits to the input.


… and a 2 character geohash is reeeeeeally coarse. As is 0 fractional digits to lat/lon.


enter the coordinates and press enter. You are not able to click the map.


the UX focus isn't casual use but operations – showcasing mere mortals can host a webservice as a tool for themselves and others.

But feel free to add any other HTML presentation layer by modifying the XSLT and serving it from your webserver instead.
