gradual precision degradation
-
nearby places will often (but not always) present similar prefixes. Conversely, the longer a shared prefix is, the closer the two places are
-
-
Links are also provided to external sites that may provide further details
-
all points for a given rectangular area in contiguous slices
-
number of slices depends on the precision
-
where queries on a single index
-
index structure can be used for a quick-and-dirty proximity search
-
the even bits are taken for the longitude code (0111110000000), while the odd bits are taken for the latitude code (101111001001)
-
Final rounding should be done carefully in a way that
So if rounding 42.605 to 42.61 or 42.6 is correct, rounding to 43 it is not.

find points in proximity to each other based on a common prefix
-
geohash essentially defines a bounding box within which a location lies
-
two locations may be spatially very close but have different geohashes
-
In order to be useful to proximity searches, the surrounding eight geohashes of a geohash must be calculated and the locations matching these pulled out, therefore complicating potential usage in proximity searches.
-
successfully used in MongoDB and HBase to implement proximity searches
-
alternative to storing Geohashes as strings in a database are Locational codes, which are also called spatial keys and similar to QuadTiles

Geohashing guarantees that the longer a shared prefix between two geohashes is, the spatially closer they are together

Geohashes offer properties like arbitrary precision and the possibility of gradually removing characters from the end of the code to reduce its size (and gradually lose precision)."geohash geocoding geo maps algorithms algorithm longitude latitude
