Please format your code using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

geo point does not support parameters you added.  
Why did you add them?

See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html)
