Abstract
A method of evaluating each of plurality of spatial primitives for a pair of geohashes is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: detecting which of the pair of geohashes is a shorter geohash and which of the pair of geohashes is a longer geohash; identifying a breakpoint for the pair of geohashes; determining a set of one or more masks each associated with at least one of the pair of geohashes; evaluating a first one of the spatial primitives for the pair of geohashes, the first one of the spatial primitives being a 'contain' spatial primitive; and evaluating at least a second one of the spatial primitives for the pair of geohashes, the at least second one of the spatial primitives being at least one 'touch' spatial primitive.
