Return valid Geohash strings representing the position of one or more elements in a sorted set value representing a geospatial index (where elements were added using GEOADD).
Normally Redis represents positions of elements using a variation of the Geohash technique where positions are encoded using 52-bit integers. The encoding is also different compared to the standard because the initial minimum and maximum coordinates used during the encoding and decoding process are different. This command returns a standard Geohash in the form of a string as described in the Wikipedia article.
Required arguments
key
The name of the key that holds the geospatial index (a sorted set).
member [member ...]
One or more members whose Geohash strings to return.
Details
Geohash string properties
The command returns 11 character Geohash strings, so no precision is lost compared to the Redis internal 52-bit representation. The returned Geohashes have the following properties:
- They can be shortened by removing characters from the right. They will lose precision but will still point to the same area.
- Strings with a similar prefix are nearby, but the contrary is not true, it is possible that strings with different prefixes are nearby too.
