GeoHashing
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
Taking XKCD wiki definition, "Geohashing is a method for finding an effectively random location nearby and visiting it".
An algorithm generates daily a set of coordinates for each 1 degree latitude by 1 degree longitude (this is well known as a graticule) in the planet. Coordinates are random and could point to anywhere. Of course, they are the same for anybody in the same graticule. The graticule partition allows everyone to be rather close to a geohashing point each day. A global coordinate, anywhere in the world, is also generated by geohashing algorithm.
Create an adventure spontaneously, make an original appointment, start a new game, or simple curiosity; any reason is valid to visit the generated location.
More information about Geohashing can be found at www.xkcd.com website or Geohashing community Facebook page.

▪Local and Global geohashing calculation
