Upcoming Meetups

You too can have this much fun.

xkcd local meetups take place every Saturday at 4:00pm (local time) in your local graticule, when the location is accessible. Many graticules attempt a meeting any day of the week that the coordinates can be reached.

Today's Coordinates

West of -30°: .9725225, .9872176
East of -30°: .9150652, .4317648
Globalhash: 74.711730477344,-24.564667294073

Please check your local graticule page for more details about meetup organisation, fellow geohashers, etc. See Help:Contents for information on how to use these coordinates to find the meetup location.

Saturday Coordinates

The coordinates for the next Saturday meetups, scheduled for 4 May 2024, will be based on the Dow’s opening price published at 09:30 EDT (13:30 UTC) on Friday 3 May. See timeanddate.com to convert this time to your local time zone.

Planned Meetups

This is a new section designed to collect planned expeditions in one place. It is hoped that it can eventually be automated, placing all pages in Category:Expedition planning for each date under the appropriate subheading, but for now it is manual. For discussion on the automation effort, please see the the talk page.

Add a new subheading if you are planning a more recent expedition, and move the subheadings for dates that have passed in their respective timezones to the Recent Meetups section. Each entry should be a link to a [[YYYY-MM-DD LAT LONG]] page giving more details of the planning, even if the plan is simply "thepiguy will attend." Please don't use this page for simply cataloguing geohash locations: posting here is interpreted as an intention to geohash there on that date.

If you are looking for an expedition, be very aware that this is not a complete list. Information on why, and more help finding expeditions is available at How to arrange meetups.
