Return valid [Geohash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geohash) strings
representing the position of one or more elements in a sorted set value
representing a geospatial index (where elements were added using `GEOADD`).
Normally Redis represents positions of elements using a variation of the Geohash
technique where positions are encoded using 52 bit integers. The encoding is
also different compared to the standard because the initial min and max
coordinates used during the encoding and decoding process are different. This
command however **returns a standard Geohash** in the form of a string as
described in the [Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geohash) and
compatible with the [geohash.org](http://geohash.org) web site.
## Geohash string properties
The command returns 11 characters Geohash strings, so no precision is loss
compared to the Redis internal 52 bit representation. The returned Geohashes
have the following properties:
1. They can be shortened removing characters from the right. It will lose
precision but will still point to the same area.
2. It is possible to use them in `geohash.org` URLs such as
`http://geohash.org/<geohash-string>`. This is an
[example of such URL](http://geohash.org/sqdtr74hyu0).
3. Strings with a similar prefix are nearby, but the contrary is not true, it is
possible that strings with different prefixes are nearby too.
@return
@array-reply, specifically:
The command returns an array where each element is the Geohash corresponding to
each member name passed as argument to the command.
@examples
```cli
GEOADD Sicily 13.361389 38.115556 "Palermo" 15.087269 37.502669 "Catania"
GEOHASH Sicily Palermo Catania
```
