# Encode latitude and longitude into geohash

GeoHash.encode(47.6062095, -122.3320708)
# => "c23nb62w20st"

GeoHash.encode(47.6062095, -122.3320708, 6)
# => "c23nb6"

#########
# Decode from geohash

GeoHash.decode("c23nb6")
# => [[47.603759765625, -122.332763671875], [47.6092529296875, -122.32177734375]]

#########
# Calculate adjacent geohash

GeoHash.neighbors("xn774c")
# => ["xn774f", "xn7754", "xn7751", "xn7750", "xn774b", "xn7748", "xn7749", "xn774d"]
