Corporate websites and retail platforms often have retail locations that are stored as lat/lng values and need lookup. It would be great if there was a new data type called "Location" that lets you mark a position and the coordinates can be exposed via back-end.
My understanding is that Builder uses Mongo expressions on the back-end which gives us access to its operators so having @geoWithin might then give us the ability to perform basic lookups.
This would give Builder the ability to house data to power this use case.
I have several projects that have content that needs to be geo-tagged. For now I will continue to use CMSs that have native or easily extensible support for location data fields.
Here are how some other CMSs handle location fields:
Sanity - https://www.sanity.io/docs/geopoint-type
Netlify CMS - https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/widgets/#map
Drupal - https://www.drupal.org/project/location
It would be ideal to be able to present content authors and editors with a map interface for entering and maintaining geo location data, and then return it as structured data in the API for display.
