Generally, you would insert the data as follows:

```
PUT GeoLoc/doc/1
{ 
  "location": {
    "lat": 41.12,
    "lon": -71.34
  }
}

```

This is further described in the [Geopoint documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.3/geo-point.html).

Now, it depends how you are ingesting data into Elasticsearch. Are you using Beats, Logstash, or some other homebrewn solution?
