How to use the Geohash Map

Decode a geohash: Enter a geohash string (e.g.,kdkyqh8) to see its coordinates and area on the map
Encode coordinates: Enter latitude, longitude, and precision e.g., 51.5074,-0.1278,9 to generate a geohash
Visualize areas: See the exact geographic area covered by any geohash on interactive maps
Multiple map styles: Choose from OpenStreetMap, satellite, terrain, and more

What is a Geohash?

A geohash is a hierarchical spatial data structure that subdivides space into buckets of grid shape. It's a way to encode geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) into a short alphanumeric string. This makes it easy to store, index, and search for locations in databases and applications.

Geohash Precision Levels

Geohash precision determines the size of the geographic area:

1 character: ~5,000km × 5,000km
2 characters: ~1,250km × 625km
3 characters: ~156km × 156km
4 characters: ~19.5km × 19.5km
5 characters: ~2.4km × 2.4km
6 characters: ~610m × 610m
7 characters: ~76m × 76m
8 characters: ~19m × 19m
9 characters: ~2.4m × 2.4m
10 characters: ~60cm × 60cm
11 characters: ~7.5cm × 7.5cm
12 characters: ~1.9cm × 1.9cm
