Add Geolocation Field

[harinij]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently we do not support geolocation field which is supported by Firebase.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add support for it, ideally, the UI for inputting the geolocation should support a map UI as well. Take a look at this doc for how to add new fields.

I'll be tackling this for OSD day

Firebase documentation is recommending against adding the geographical point data type due to limited querying capabilities. It instead recommends storing geolocation with two separate numeric fields for longitude and latitude. Should I still go ahead and add this data type?

See reference: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/manage-data/data-types

Hi @IngridWong0715, we’ve had multiple requests to support this field, so you should still go ahead an implement :)
