Geohashing
(w:en:geohashing is not to be confused with w:en:geohash, for example JOSM/Plugins/GeoHash)
From the https://geohashing.site/ homepage:
Geohashing is an adventure, comprising journeys to random places within a given area. Every day, effectively random locations are generated by an algorithm that achieves randomness using stock market data.
Geohashing can easily be combined with mapping.
