Understanding Geohash Encoder and Decoder

Coordinate systems, order and units

Encode latitude and longitude as a geohash or decode a geohash into its center and bounding box.

Geohash Encoder and Decoder depends on knowing how coordinates are expressed. Geographic coordinates commonly use WGS84 longitude and latitude, while projected systems use linear units and a defined datum and projection.

How to verify the coordinates

Coordinate results depend on the correct source CRS, target CRS, and axis order. Verify those assumptions and spot-check known coordinates before replacing source data.

To verify Geohash Encoder and Decoder, spot-check a known place, confirm axis order and verify the expected unit and CRS. A numerically valid coordinate can still be geographically wrong when those assumptions are incorrect.
