[[lat-lon]]
=== `lat_lon`
<<geo-queries,Geo-queries>> are usually performed by plugging the value of
each <<geo-point,`geo_point`>> field into a formula to determine whether it
falls into the required area or not. Unlike most queries, the inverted index
is not involved.
Setting `lat_lon` to `true` causes the latitude and longitude values to be
indexed as numeric fields (called `.lat` and `.lon`). These fields can be used
by the <<query-dsl-geo-bounding-box-query,`geo_bounding_box`>> and
<<query-dsl-geo-distance-query,`geo_distance`>> queries instead of
performing in-memory calculations.

// CONSOLE
<1> Setting `lat_lon` to true indexes the geo-point in the `location.lat` and `location.lon` fields.
<2> The `indexed` option tells the geo-distance query to use the inverted index instead of the in-memory calculation.
Whether the in-memory or indexed operation performs better depends both on
your dataset and on the types of queries that you are running.
NOTE: The `lat_lon` option only makes sense for single-value `geo_point`
fields. It will not work with arrays of geo-points.
