What this tool does not do / Limits

Geohash precision depends on length: longer codes cover smaller areas. Decoding gives the centre of the code's cell, not the exact original point.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is a decoded geohash?

It returns the centre of the cell that code covers, so it is approximate to within that cell.

What range can I enter?

Latitude from -90 to 90 and longitude from -180 to 180.
