Description

Return a geometry from a GeoHash string. The geometry will be a polygon representing the GeoHash bounds.

If no precision is specified ST_GeomFromGeoHash returns a polygon based on full precision of the input GeoHash string.

If precision is specified ST_GeomFromGeoHash will use that many characters from the GeoHash to create the polygon.
