How can I add fields named Latitude and Longitude using GeoFire in Firebase?

Question

I'm developing a Location Tracking App with Android Studio and need to store coordinates in a normalized manner (One Variable in One Field). Can I modify the location data created by GeoFire in Firebase? I would like to have a single field called Latitude and another one called Longitude. In the picture above you can see that the coordinates are both stored below one field called ' l ', I would like to modify this, or copy them as separate childs of the current userID in the node Location. Would greatly appreciate any help, thanks!

There's nothing built into Geofire for you control the property names. But since Geofire is open-source, you can modify it to use the property names you want.

Just be aware that Geofire uses these shorter names to limit the bandwidth it uses, so your users see a bandwidth increase.
