You earn the [[Virgin Graticule]] achievement by being the first to reach an official hashpoint in a graticule. Not to be confused with the [[Earliest geohasher achievement]] which goes to the first to arrive on any particular day, Virgin Graticule status is awarded only to the first to EVER achieve a hashpoint in a given graticule. Thus it is available only once per graticule and will become increasingly more difficult to achieve as time goes on. Completionist latecomers to the game will have to consider antarctic or oceanic graticules.

The Graticule unlocked achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach a geohash, and are the first to do so in that [[graticule]]. Not to be confused with the [[Earliest geohasher achievement]], the Graticule unlocked achievement can only be claimed by the first person to ''ever'' reach a geohash in each graticule.

The first person to reach a hashpoint in a graticule is the first to reach it on the correct day, with knowledge of the fact that it is a hashpoint. Happening to have been there in the past doesn't count, but if you go again you can claim the [[Déjà Vu Geohash]]. Everyone who is in the first group at the meet, or who arrives while the first group is still present, may claim this achievement. The pioneers should document their find on the wiki, including it in the Notable Dates section for the graticule in question.

The achievement can only be claimed by the first person to reach a geohash in a graticule ''with the knowledge of it being the geohash'' for that day. If you happened to have been at a past geohash without knowing at the time, you cannot claim this achievement (but if you revisit this place during an expedition, you may be eligible for the [[Déjà vu geohash achievement]]). Every person who is part of the first group to reach the geohash, or who arrives whilst the first group is still present, may claim this achievement. The geohasher(s) should document their success on the wiki, and should add a reference to their expedition to the graticule page itself.
  
It would be useful to the wiki if you would also augment the basic graticule page for the newly deflowered graticule, perhaps adding a representative picture of the area, some notes about the major communities, highways, lakes, and challenges. Even if you don't reach the geohash on an attempt at this achievement, you will be appreciated for giving some love to the graticule page.

In addition to this, it would benefit the wiki as a whole if the geohasher(s) edited the graticule page to add some information, potentially including a photograph representative of the general area. Even if your attempt at this achievement is unsuccessful, your additions to the graticule page would be greatly appreciated.

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, [[Achievements#Proof|standard proof]] should be provided. No additional proof is required for this achievement, as it is fairly easy to check via the wiki whether the expedition was the first within its graticule or not.

This user earned the Graticule Unlocked Achievement
by being the first to reach any hashpoint in the [[{{{latitude}}},{{{longitude}}}|({{{latitude}}}, {{{longitude}}})]] graticule, here, on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

The Graticule unlocked achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach a geohash, and are the first to do so in that graticule. Not to be confused with the Earliest geohasher achievement, the Graticule unlocked achievement can only be claimed by the first person to ever reach a geohash in each graticule. As such, this achievement is only available once per graticule, and will become more difficult to achieve as time goes on. 'Achievement completionists' coming late to geohashing will potentially have to consider venturing to Antarctic or oceanic graticules.

Until 2024, the Graticule unlocked achievement was called the 'Virgin graticule achievement', and references to this name may still be found in expedition reports across the wiki.

Who's on First?

The achievement can only be claimed by the first person to reach a geohash in a graticule with the knowledge of it being the geohash for that day. If you happened to have been at a past geohash without knowing at the time, you cannot claim this achievement (but if you revisit this place during an expedition, you may be eligible for the Déjà vu geohash achievement). Every person who is part of the first group to reach the geohash, or who arrives whilst the first group is still present, may claim this achievement. The geohasher(s) should document their success on the wiki, and should add a reference to their expedition to the graticule page itself.

In addition to this, it would benefit the wiki as a whole if the geohasher(s) edited the graticule page to add some information, potentially including a photograph representative of the general area. Even if your attempt at this achievement is unsuccessful, your additions to the graticule page would be greatly appreciated.

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. No additional proof is required for this achievement, as it is fairly easy to check via the wiki whether the expedition was the first within its graticule or not.
