-===Finding your graticule page===
-There are a few ways to find your local graticule page. If you live in or near the largest place around, chances are your graticule is named after that city. Try typing its name into the search box to the left. Click ''Search'' (not ''Go''). If you don't find a page there that describes the one degree square in which you live, then try the map.
-Go to the map on [http://www.xkcd.com/geohashing this page], zoom out, and scroll around the world as necessary to find your home. Click on it so that a red rectangle appears around it. If your graticule has been named, the name will appear at the bottom, in a row beginning with the words '''Wiki pages: Day /  Meetup /'''. The name is a link that will take you to the graticule page. If there is no name (you may need to wait a moment for it to appear), or if when you click on the name it takes you to an edit box instead of a page, then no one has yet created a page for your graticule. You have the honour of being the first geohasher there. You are still 'invited' to that day's location, but you'd best bring a friend if you want company when you get there.
