geohashes are cool, and lopping off a letter reduces precision.

But if you look at have they overlay London, you get quite a split higher up and two next to each other don’t look like they are and so I can see where the number of terms would get big.

The new ElasticSearch implementation is now the default and I think they are deprecating the prefix versions like geohash.

Too bad their stuff is not embeddable into an app. Know of lib for this?

This is all part of Lucene and not specific to Elasticsearch as far as I understand.

Nice! Thanks for the link. I was hoping more for an embeddable lib for mobile apps
