VGEOhash

Precision Tool: VGEOhash

VGEOhash simplifies and enhances geographic data management by converting precise latitude and longitude coordinates into compact, efficient formats. This streamlined approach supports efficient data integration, storage, and sharing, especially in environments with space constraints such as QR codes, shortened URLs, or internal databases.

How VGEOhash Works

1. Precision Calibration
   • Accurate latitude and longitude coordinates are captured to define specific locations.
   • This ensures data precision across operations.
2. Conversion to a Simplified Format
   • The coordinates are transformed into a GEOHASH—a concise string of characters encoding location data with high accuracy.
   • This format maintains precision while simplifying integration into various systems.
3. Optimized Data Storage and Retrieval
   • When full GEOHASH strings are too lengthy, shortened references or pointers link to complete data stored securely in the database.
   • This ensures compact data presentation while retaining detailed information.
4. UUID Integration
   • VGEOhash references can be incorporated into UUIDs for applications requiring compact data, such as QR codes or shortened URLs.
   • This approach facilitates sharing and use of location-based information.

Example:

• Full VGEOhash: dn5r93g2h45h
• Shortened Version: dn5r9
  The shortened version links to full data stored in internal systems, optimizing usability.

Applications

1. QR Codes
   • VGEOhash embedded in QR codes enables quick, precise location retrieval.
   • Users scan the code to access full location details through internal systems.
2. Shortened URLs
   • Internally shortened URLs referencing VGEOhash streamline sharing of location-based data across departments and applications.

Example Implementation:

• Format: US.CA.9XJ8G.01.01.A45F.20230801.1F2D4F3A
  This structure integrates country, state, VGEOhash, category, company, product, tracking, and blockchain data for comprehensive geographic identification.

Precision Needed for Farms, Fishing Areas, and Oyster Beds

VGEOhash adapts to various use cases by offering different levels of precision based on the application.

1. Farms

• Precision Needed: Medium
• Recommended VGEOhash Length: 6-7 characters
  • 6 Characters: ~1.2 km by 600 m
  • 7 Characters: ~153 m by 153 m
• Reasoning: Farms are large tracts of land, so medium precision is sufficient for general identification. For distinguishing specific areas, use 7+ characters.

2. Fishing Areas

• Precision Needed: Medium to High
• Recommended VGEOhash Length: 7-8 characters
  • 7 Characters: ~153 m by 153 m
  • 8 Characters: ~19 m by 19 m
• Reasoning: Fishing areas often require higher precision to identify specific spots near reefs or within bodies of water.

3. Oyster Beds

• Precision Needed: High
• Recommended VGEOhash Length: 8-9 characters
  • 8 Characters: ~19 m by 19 m
  • 9 Characters: ~2.4 m by 2.4 m
• Reasoning: Oyster beds are small, precisely defined areas requiring high accuracy for compliance and management.

Summary

• Farms: Use 6-7 characters for general precision.
• Fishing Areas: Use 7-8 characters for location-specific accuracy.
• Oyster Beds: Use 8-9 characters for detailed tracking and management.

By balancing precision and practicality, VGEOhash supports efficient resource management while ensuring accuracy in geographic data applications. This approach enhances operational efficiency for MADE IN USA ONE and aligns with regulatory and environmental needs.
