See the geo\_point data type example [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html)

First you create a mapping for your index that will specify that field as a type `geo_point`.

```auto
PUT YOUR-INDEX-NAME
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "location": {
        "type": "geo_point"
      }
    }
  }
}

```

Now when you index your field you can provide `lat` and `long` in the below format and it will store them as a `geo_point` and can be used in a heatmap in Maps.

```auto
PUT YOUR-INDEX-NAME/_doc/1
{
  "text": "Geo-point as an object",
  "location": { 
    "lat": 41.12,
    "lon": -71.34
  }
}

```
