The Telenav OSM team has a new JOSM plugin for you: Geohash. This plug-in displays a layer on top of the JOSM map that contains the corresponding geohashes, up to zoom level 10. It also allows searching for a specific geohash and moves the map to the corresponding area.
Our team has been using this plugin internally and thought it may be useful for some of you as well.
This plug-in can be used by those who work in specific areas based on geohash units.
How to use the Geohash plug-in
The geohashes are automatically generated based on the user map view and zoom level. Increased zoom means increased depth level for geohashes.
To search for a geohash, use the Geohash plug-in dialog. Type or paste the geohash code in the text field and press the Search button. If the code is invalid, a message will be shown. Otherwise, the map view will be moved and zoomed over the selected geohash.
To clear generated geohashes, double click a geohash and all geohashes from his parent will be cleared. Also, right click on Geohash layer will show the option to ‘Clear geohashes’ that will leave only the depth one grid.

We are looking forward to your feedback!
