Some improvements to geohash.org were made. Some of them were
motivated by a conversation with Rodrigo Stulzer.

• Support for geocoding addresses (city names, whatever). E.g. http://geohash.org/?q=21 Millbank, London
• Support for moving the Geohash marker in the embedded map, so that modifying the position visually is easier.
• Support for providing a “name” to Geohashes, by appending a colon and the name, in a nice format. E.g. http://geohash.org/c216ne:Mt_Hood
• Provided a bookmark to get a Geohash while in Google Maps.
• Provided a Google Maps Mapplet. When enabled, it adds a Geohash marker identifying the Geohash position in Google Maps, and it may be moved around. Here is a screenshot:
