Bidirectional Geohash Conversion
Encode coordinates as a 1–12 character Geohash or decode a Geohash to its center and bounding box. Inspect cell size and neighbors by precision.
Frequently asked questions
How much area does one geohash character represent?
Each added character shrinks the cell roughly 4–8x — 5 characters covers kilometers, 9 narrows to meters.
Why verify against a Wikipedia example too?
A round-trip test alone can't catch encode and decode sharing the same wrong convention — matching an independently published value rules that out.
