"MongoError: Can't extract geo keys from object" with Type : Point

I try to prepare my database field for geocoding with this:

MyCollection._ensureIndex({'data.address.located':'2dsphere'});

But then this error comes:

MongoError: Can't extract geo keys from object, malformed geometry?:
{ type: "Point", coordinates: [ 32.4586858, -110.8571443 ] }

I can not see whats wrong with this field ? Any idea ?

When I take a look to this it shows up this:

The following example stores a GeoJSON Point:

{ loc: { type: "Point", coordinates: [ 40, 5 ] } }
Solution

  • The problem is that

    [ 32.4586858, -110.8571443 ]

    is not a valid coordinate. The order should be longitude followed by latitude whereas that coordinate appears to be the reverse (judging by the fact that the valid latitude range is -90 to 90 and -110.8571443 is outside of that).

    I think you meant:

    { type: "Point", coordinates: [ -110.8571443, 32.4586858 ] }

    or there was some other entry error.
