# Maidenhead <-> Lat/Lon

`maidenhead` provides a simple, yet effective location hashing
algorithm. Maidenhead allows global location precision down to 750m

Maidenhead provides 4 levels of increasing accuracy

Level | Precision
--------|------------
1 | World
2 | Regional
3 | Metropolis
4 | City

## Install

pip install -e .

## Examples
All examples assume first doing
```python
import maidenhead as mh
```

### lat lon to Maidenhead locator
```python
mh.toMaiden([lat, lon], level)
```
returns a char (len = lvl*2)

### Maidenhead locator to lat lon
```python
mh.toLoc('AB01cd')
```
take any string and returns topleft [lat, lon] of Maidenhead grid square.
