The resolution is a number between 0 and 30 (inclusive of both. For more information, see S2 Cell Statistics.

S

  • S2 index: A string token that defines the geographical address of a unique S2 cell at any of the 31 levels of resolution. For more information about this open source standard, see S2 Cell Hierarchy.
