How to do it...

The type of the field must be set to geo_point to define a GeoPoint.

We can extend the order example by adding a new field that stores the location of a customer. This will be the result as follows:

PUT test/_mapping
{
  "properties": {"id": {"type": "keyword",},
    "date": {"type": "date"},
    "customer_id": {"type": "keyword"},
    "customer_ip": {"type": "ip"},
    "customer_location": {"type": "geo_point"},
    "sent": {"type": "boolean"}
    }
}
