Not yet working properly
This calculator creates a KML file.
If Google Earth or another application that understands this file format is installed, it should launch and display the hashpoints for your specified date and graticule.

Usage
http://nbest.co.uk/kmlGeohash/index.php?date=2008-05-21&lat=52&lon=0&skins=2
- date - formatted yyyy-mm-dd - the default is today's date.
- lat - your graticule latitude - the default is 51 (Grenwich London).
- lon - your graticule longitude - the default is 0 (Grenwich London).
- skins - like an onion, the number of layers of points surrounding the home point - the default is 1 giving 9 hashpoints - the limits are 0 to 6.
Tests
- Test equator - Looks OK.
- Test round the back - The coordinates are shifted to prevent wrapping at +/- 179.999o
- Australia - Australia looks OK.
- Atlanta - Atlanta looks OK.
- North pole - The coordinates are shifted to prevent wrapping at +/- 89.999o
- South pole - The coordinates are shifted to prevent wrapping at +/- 89.999o
- -50, -30 - South Georgia and Zavodovski islands look OK either side of 30W.
- Check that the 30W Time Zone Rule is correctly applied.
