Template talk:Meetup graticule
On the meetup pages for my grat (Cincinnati, Ohio), I've added the following code directly after the Map code and before the About section, modifying the dates, for each week's page:
{| border="1" style="text-align:center"
|-<br>
| rowspan="3" | [[2008-06-21 39 -84|Prev Sat]]<br>Today<br>[[2008-07-05 39 -84|Next Sat]]
| rowspan="3" | Neighboring<br>Meetups<br>today →
| [[2008-06-28 40 -85|NW]]
| [[2008-06-28 40 -84|N]]
| [[2008-06-28 40 -83|NE]]
|-
| [[2008-06-28 39 -85|W]]
| us
| [[2008-06-28 39 -83|E]]
|-
| [[2008-06-28 38 -85|SW]]
| [[2008-06-28 38 -84|S]]
| [[2008-06-28 38 -83|SE]]
|}
which gives ...
| Prev Sat Today Next Sat |
Neighboring Meetups today → |
NW | N | NE |
| W | us | E | ||
| SW | S | SE |
I wrote a script (outside of the wiki) to generate the code for any day and grat (with options). In any case I'd be honored if you want to adopt this code for your grat pages too.
Here is a the asp/vbscript code and a ReadMe file: NaviCodeGen (NAVIgational CODE GENerator)

Bugs
The code doesn't like dates before 1 Jan 1970, Unix epoch. I performed a retro geohash this weekend and documented the expedition here. The text below the map contains a number of errors and it thinks the date is 1 Jan 1970. --Bishop_Wash 04:51, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
