[[geohash-precision]]
=== `geohash_precision`
Geohashes are a form of lat/lon encoding which divides the earth up into
a grid. Each cell in this grid is represented by a geohash string. Each
cell in turn can be further subdivided into smaller cells which are
represented by a longer string. So the longer the geohash, the smaller
(and thus more accurate) the cell is.
The `geohash_precision` setting controls the length of the geohash that is
indexed when the <<geohash,`geohash`>> option is enabled, and the maximum
geohash length when the <<geohash-prefix,`geohash_prefix`>> option is enabled.
It accepts:
* a number between 1 and 12 (default), which represents the length of the geohash.
* a <<distance-units,distance>>, e.g. `1km`.
If a distance is specified, it will be translated to the smallest
geohash-length that will provide the requested resolution.
For example:

// AUTOSENSE
<1> A `geohash_precision` of 6 equates to geohash cells of approximately 1.26km x 0.6km
