The point of a geohash is that it’s super short.

So are the coordinates, right? I thought the point was that they were easier to remember and communicate?

A geohash is 6ish characters and coordinates are usually 10-15 digits. They are both pretty short either way, but a people can remember/communicate 6 characters way easier than 10-15.
