Input

  title: 'Launchpad Location',
  name: 'location',
  type: 'geopoint'
}

Response

{
  "_type": "geopoint",

  "lng": 9.089101352587932,
  "alt": 13.37
}

While the geopoint type is available in Sanity by default, you will probably want to install a plugin that provides a more visual way to input the coordinates. For instance, you could use the @sanity/google-maps-input plugin:

Then add the plugin to your sanity.config.ts|js with your Google maps API key:

import { googleMapsInput } from "@sanity/google-maps-input";

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  plugins: [
      googleMapsInput({
          apiKey: "my-api-key"
     })
  ] 
})

Make sure the key has access to all of the following APIs:

  • Google Maps JavaScript API
  • Google Places API Web Service
  • Google Static Maps API

You can create such keys and grant API access in the Google Developer Console.

Gotcha

Be careful with your API keys. If you use this functionality, it's a good idea to make your repository private.
