At the end of last year (2017), the Ghanaian government released a digital addressing project called GhanaPost. Its idea is to give a unique adddress to every 5m x 5m area.

My inner scientist tingled and with this experiment I intended to recreate the GhanaPost addressing system.

Results were encouraging, I managed to generate the first two tokens of the address. The challenge was getting the last token (4 digits) which are uniquely assigned and generated by an algorithm I am not aware of.

Usage
