Geo Location : unable to find index for $geoNear query in nodejs

Question

I want to find near by geo locations using LatLong, here is my code :

var locationSchema = new Schema({

name : {
    required : "Name is required",
    type     : String
},

address : {
    required : "address is required",
    type     : [Number],
    index    : '2d'
},

createdAt : {
    type : Date,
    default : new Date()
}
});

module.exports = mongoose.model('Location', locationSchema);

Now I have data in collection and I want to fetch all documents withing range of 3 KMs of provided Latlong.

Here is my controller code for getting data :

myLocation : function (req, res) {
var coords = [],
        maxDistance = 3;

    coords[0] = parseFloat(req.query.longitude);
    coords[1] = parseFloat(req.query.latitude);
    maxDistance /= 6371; // divide by this number as earth's approximate radius is 6371 KMs.
Location.find({
            location : {
                $near           : coords,
                $maxDistance    : maxDistance
            }
        }, function (err, locations) {
            if (err) {
                res.send(err);
            } else {
                console.log("Location list");
                res.send(locations);
            }
        });

Location.find({
            address: {
                $near: {
                    $geometry : {
                        type: 'Point',
                        coordinates: coords
                    },
                    $maxDistance    : maxDistance * 1000
                }
            }
        }, function (err, locations) {
           console.log(locations);
        });
