Just turn to Preferences/Map options/Manage known locations, there you can define points of your interest and select a radius for each of them.

About Me

I like geocaching since 2011, discovered geohashing 2013-09-25 and went to the first hash at 2013-09-27.

Home graticule: Mannheim, Germany (see today's point on the Geohashing.info).

My Homepage: www.KlickTipps.de with a special geohashing page: www.KlickTipps.de/geohashing.php

Age: I feel quite young, but it seems, that I am one of the ten oldest known active geohashers - see Geohashers_by_age.

Hardware: Dark blue VW Sharan, red bicycle, old Samsung S4, power stick (2.2 Ah), Gorilla mini camera tripod with bracket für the S4

Software: Geohash Droid, c:geo, OSM maps

Plans and ideas

✔ Meet other geohashers tads and Cuxi

✔ Cross the border to France (specially to the little French triangle in graticule 49,8)

  • Cross the border to Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands and other countries - ✔ Denmark, ✔ Austria
  • Visit all graticules next to our own (= level 9 of the Minesweeper achievement)

✔ Get some different achievements

  • Get more different achievements

✔ Geohashing on a leap day

✔ Visit my birthday hash 1955-11-28 49 8

✔ create at least one gratuitous achievement (ferry achievement and christmas achievement)

Calculating Coordinates
At 2015-03-10 49 8 you can see, how GeorgDerReisende performs it.
You can get the opening price for the Dow Jones Industrial Average from http://www.google.com/finance/historical?q=indexdjx:.dji. But geohashers in Europe use the price of the previous day (according to the "east of -30° rule")!

HowTo get informed

about new hashpoints in your area:

Geohash Droid
This free Android app shows the hashpoint in your graticule and in the eight graticules around it. You will get it at the Google Play Store.
And the app can notify you, if there is a hashpoint near points you can choose. Just turn to Preferences/Map options/Manage known locations, there you can define points of your interest and select a radius for each of them.
Additional condition: At Preferences/Other options "Prefetch stocks" must be active.

E-Mail Notification
You get informed as soon as new coordinates for the next day(s) become available. Just sign in at xkcd.nathanwoodruff.com/Notify.aspx and define points and radiuses for future hashpoints and global hashes.

PHP

I like programming PHP. If you need a nice little PHP function to link from your own homepage to the geohashes of a certain day, here it is:

  function geohashing_textlink( $my_date = -1 , $cl = "" ){
      /* a text link to a special day 
         Parameters: $my_date (optional):  2 the day after tomorrow
                                           1 tomorrow
                                           0 today
                                          -1 yesterday
                                          -2 the day before yesterday 
                                          -3 and so on ...
                     $cl (optional):       CSS Class for the link */

      $complete_date 
          = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d") + $my_date, date("Y"));   

      //check inputs
      if ( $my_date > 3 ){ $my_date = 0; }
      $cl = trim( $cl ); 

      //build link
      $text   =  date("j.n.Y" , $complete_date );  
 
      $outp  = "<a href=\"https://geohashing.site/geohashing/";
      $outp .= date("Y-n-j" , $complete_date ) . "\"";
      $outp .= " target=\"_blank\"" ;

      if ( $klasse != "" ){ $outp .= " class=\"" . $cl . "\""; }

      $outp .= " >" . $text .  "</a>" ;

      return( $outp );
  }

Other version with date as input:

  function geohashing_textlink2( $my_year , $my_month , $my_day , $cl = "" ){
      /* a text link to a special day 
         Parameters: Year, Month and Day
                     $cl (optional):   CSS Class for the link */
      $complete_date 
          = mktime(0, 0, 0, $my_month, $my_day, $my_year);   

      //... continue as the function above
