10. The method of claim 1 , wherein said encoded version of said addresses' lower significant digit latitude and longitude values are further generated by the steps of: obtaining a geographic address; determining the latitude and longitude of said geographic address; obtaining a granularity value; obtaining a precision value; using said granularity value to truncate the higher significant digits of the latitude and longitude of said geographic address, producing a remainder latitude and longitude of said geographic address; using said precision value to truncate or round-off the least significant digits of said remainder latitude and longitude of said geographic address, producing lower significant digits of the latitude and longitude of said geographic address; and encoding said lower significant digits of the latitude and longitude of said geographic address.

The method of claim 10 , wherein said encoding further uses different character maps or separators to indicate granularity, or interleaves said latitude and longitude symbols thus producing an encoding scheme where the encoded prefix comprises larger geographic areas, and the encoded suffix of comprises a smaller geographic area at a defined location within said larger geographic areas.
