An R wrapper for SimpleGeo's libgeohash, to encode and decode geohashes in R.
Geohash is a latitude/longitude geocode system invented by Gustavo Niemeyer for geohash.org. It subdivides space into arbitrarily precise grids, and represents points in those grids using a character string -- the longer the string, the more precise the grid.
Install as follows:
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("fpinter/geohashr")
