func Decode(hash string) (lat, lng float64)

Decode the string geohash to a (lat, lng) point.

func DecodeInt(hash uint64) (lat, lng float64)

DecodeInt decodes the provided 64-bit integer geohash to a (lat, lng) point.

func DecodeIntWithPrecision(hash uint64, bits uint) (lat, lng float64)

DecodeIntWithPrecision decodes the provided integer geohash with bits of precision to a (lat, lng) point.

func Encode(lat, lng float64) string

Encode the point (lat, lng) as a string geohash with the standard 12 characters of precision.

func EncodeInt(lat, lng float64) uint64

EncodeInt encodes the point (lat, lng) to a 64-bit integer geohash.

func EncodeIntWithPrecision(lat, lng float64, bits uint) uint64

EncodeIntWithPrecision encodes the point (lat, lng) to an integer with the specified number of bits.

func EncodeWithPrecision(lat, lng float64, chars uint) string

EncodeWithPrecision encodes the point (lat, lng) as a string geohash with the specified number of characters of precision (max 12).

func Neighbors(hash string) []string

Neighbors returns a slice of geohash strings that correspond to the provided geohash's neighbors.

func NeighborsInt(hash uint64) []uint64

NeighborsInt returns a slice of uint64s that correspond to the provided hash's neighbors at 64-bit precision.

func NeighborsIntWithPrecision(hash uint64, bits uint) []uint64

NeighborsIntWithPrecision returns a slice of uint64s that correspond to the provided hash's neighbors at the given precision.

type Box struct {
	MinLat float64
	MaxLat float64
	MinLng float64
	MaxLng float64
}

Box represents a rectangle in latitude/longitude space.

func BoundingBox(hash string) Box

BoundingBox returns the region encoded by the given string geohash.

func BoundingBoxInt(hash uint64) Box

BoundingBoxInt returns the region encoded by the given 64-bit integer geohash.

func BoundingBoxIntWithPrecision(hash uint64, bits uint) Box

BoundingBoxIntWithPrecision returns the region encoded by the integer geohash with the specified precision.

func (b Box) Center() (lat, lng float64)

Center returns the center of the box.

func (b Box) Contains(lat, lng float64) bool

Contains decides whether (lat, lng) is contained in the box. The containment test is inclusive of the edges and corners.

func (b Box) Round() (lat, lng float64)

Round returns a point inside the box, making an effort to round to minimal precision.
