I would prefer to use geolocation as field instead of geofield module. But i need geohashes in database. Geofield provides this out of the box.
Are there any plans towards implementing geohash ?

Hmm,

until I read your post, I did not now something called geohash exists. That might give a hint on what was planned until now.

That being said, I did implement an additional widget/formatter for somebody who requested sexigesimal input/output instead of floating point. If there would be a widget which accepts geohash, translates that to regular lat/lng and a formatter that does the same thing the other way around, would that solve your problem?

I just quickly looked at the wikipedia article for geohash.

Closing for lack of interest.

Hey @Breakerandi,

I'm willing to support this within geolocation, but I do need more support. Ideally some patches.

If you want this to be added to geolocation directly, please re-open the ticket and provide a path how this should work and how this could be done.

Either way, good luck in your project! :)
