‘Geographical’ type is a special type used for storing geographical [ZipCode] location data. Fields of this type store zip codes. Each location has its latitude and longitude that allows users making search within particular radius from their location.
By default on the front-end ‘geographical’ type fields are displayed as input boxes in input forms:
