Geohash vs S2 for Radius Search
What is a key advantage of S2 cells over plain geohash for proximity and radius queries?
Options
- 1S2 encoding always produces shorter cell identifiers than a comparable geohash
- 2S2 removes the need to maintain any spatial index for proximity or radius queries
- 3S2 cells only behave correctly when used near the equator and fail at high latitude
- 4S2 supports multiple levels with low-distortion near-polar cells and clean region-covering APIs
