The encoding is\nalso different compared to the standard because the initial minimum and maximum\ncoordinates used during the encoding and decoding process are different. This\ncommand returns a standard Geohash in the form of a string as\ndescribed in the [Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geohash)."
