Algorithm

[edit]

1. round to 4 decimal places (10-15 foot accuracy), remove negativity, remove decimal point from latitude and longitude
2. Left-pad coordinates from step 1 with zeros to seven digits
3. Split up coordinates into chunks, add offsets so no two words will be the same and order won't matter
4. convert chunks to words [2]
