I've created a script that can take the data from here and with a few inputs, generate a .kml file to read into Google Earth so you can see all the Geohash points of the dates selected.

Screen shot:

Note how few Geohash coordinates actually fall in Victoria and the Saanich Peninsula? Should make it easy to sweep up those retro Geohashes.

To do:

  • Convert script from Bash to Perl to run faster.
  • Allow sourcing data from a file or URL
  • Pretty-up each placemark's description to include hyperlinks to this Wiki and peeron map.
  • Add format checking of source data
  • Properly account for W30 graticules.
