Open Location Codes are encodings of WGS84 latitude and longitude
coordinates in degrees. Decoding a code returns an area, not a point. The
area of a code depends on the length (longer codes are more precise with
smaller areas). A two-digit code has height and width<<height_width>> of 20
smaller areas). A two-digit code has height and width <<height_width>> of 20
degrees, and with each pair of digits added to the code, both height and
width are divided by 20.
