geohashrelated
Geohashrelated refers to the concepts, algorithms, and data structures associated with geohashing, a geocoding method that encodes a geographic coordinate into a short string. Geohash was introduced by Gustavo Niemeyer in 2008 and has since become widely used for spatial indexing, proximity queries, and efficient storage of location data. The encoding interleaves binary representations of longitude and latitude and then maps the resulting bits to a base32 alphabet. The length of the geohash determines the precision: longer hashes represent smaller areas, while shorter ones cover larger regions.
Decoding geohash yields an approximate bounding box for the encoded location. The technique benefits from its
Applications of geohashrelated methods include spatial indexing in databases, fast proximity searches, clustering, and map tiling.
