What is the correct format for location that works with azure iot central's device property?

Question

I updated a device property with location floating points like (11.111, -116.11) and in dms format but seems like the Azure map in dashboard doesn't get updated. Does anyone have any ideas ?

Here is an example of the location device property payload:

“devicelocation”: { “lat”: 122, “lon”: 45 }

In this example, "devicelocation" is the field name that you will have to declare when defining the device model.

I'm struggling with this issue too, and tried that snippet but can't manage to get the device properties set on iOT Central. In my case the property is named "location_data_key" and when I send the data I can only see ```[object object]```. Can you elaborate your answer, please? – Rodrigo Mar 07 '19 at 17:15
@Rodrigo - can you share the code here? There are [code/firmware samples](https://github.com/Azure/iot-central-firmware/blob/master/MXCHIP/mxchip_advanced/src/telemetry.cpp) that have examples on how to send location data as a reported property to IoT Central. – Ankit Gupta - MSFT Mar 08 '19 at 21:57

If you are using .Net API, the location can be specified as below (code example):

TwinCollection reportedProperties = new TwinCollection();

reportedProperties["devicelocation"] = new { lon= 122, lat= 45 };
