Those 52 bit integers are: + +1. Returned by `GEOAENCODE` as return value. +2. Used by `GEOADD` as sorted set scores of members. + +The `GEODECODE` command is able to translate the 52 bit integers back into a +position expressed as longitude and latitude. The command also returns the +corners of the box that the 52 bit integer identifies on the earth surface, +since each 52 integer actually represent not a single point, but a small area. + +This command usefulness is limited to the rare situations where you want to +fetch raw data from the sorted set, for example with `ZRANGE`, and later need to +decode the scores into positions. The other obvious use is debugging. + +@return + +@array-reply, specifically: + +The command returns an array of three elements. Each element of the main array +is an array of two elements, specifying a longitude and a latitude. So the +returned value is in the following form: + +- center-longitude, center-latitude +- min-longitude, min-latitude +- max-longitude, max-latitude + +@examples + +```cli +GEOADD Sicily 13.361389 38.115556 "Palermo" 15.087269 37.502669 "Catania" +ZSCORE Sicily "Palermo" +GEODECODE 3479099956230698 +``` |
