Location in mongoose, mongoDB

I fixed it myself.

I did this in my model:

loc :  { type: {type:String}, coordinates: [Number]},

Underneath I made it a 2dsphere index.

eventSchema.index({loc: '2dsphere'});

And to add data to it:

loc: { type: "Point", coordinates: [ longitude, latitude ] },

Looks like your comment is correct (maybe), but the syntax for the index schemetype

here: http://mongoosejs.com/docs/api.html#schematype_SchemaType-index

It only accepts Object, Boolean, String

The correct syntax should be I think

var eventSchema = new Schema({ 
        location: { type: [Number], index: { type: '2dsphere', sparse: true}}
)

based on the example in the docs.
