> GeoPointField uses morton encoding to efficiently pack lat/lon values into a single long. GeoHashing effectively does the same thing but uses base 32 encoding to represent this long value as a "human readable" string. Many user applications already use the string representation of the hash. This issue simply adds the base32 string representation of the already computed morton code.
