WhatThe[Geo]Hash?!
There is a much easier way to provide a locatian then those long cryptic latitude and longitude degrees: geohashes!
Instead of 50.95458984, 6.96533203
it's just u1hcy
. And even better: If you don't need it to be that precise, just omit some of its end. u1hc
is still a valid geohash!
Not conviced? You could also try our geophrases instead of geohashes. It's totally not compareable to what3words, our algorith is supersimple (less then 40 lines of code), doesn't require an API and our custom wordlist is open source.
By the way... this is a non commercial spare time project, without commercial interest and done just for educational purposes. The code can be found on GitHub. Please don't sue me.
Cheers,
Sven
